PERMANENT IDENTIFICATION SOLUTIONS

At Metal Image you’ll get what it says on the tin –
Durable Images Delivered with Passion and Precision.
It’s what we do, and how we do it.

Since 1974 we’ve been dedicated to building our reputation for trusted permanent identiﬁcation solutions created from Stainless Steel, Anodised Aluminium and Direct Laser Marking.

From this well proven family of imaging processes, we create everything from foil thin barcoded asset labels and tags, heavy duty rating plates, to tamper proof certiﬁcation stickers or even illustrated botanic labels and historic plaques including photographs. All tailored to be reliable when long term exposure to severe conditions is critical.

“They look great, and I certainly will be telling my boss about your professionalism and show him the quality of your product”

"FYI goods arrived today, many thanks for your fine efforts.”

“Thank you so much for the signs. They look marvellous and will certainly enhance the native tree plantings that Russell Landcare Trust has been doing ...

“Plates arrived this morning, that’s very impressive service!”
