Metalphoto of Cincinnati offers industrial labels with unmatched durability and graphic capabilities. Our identification products feature durability superior to all other options, including stainless steel in many environments, because it is created using our proprietary Metalphoto® substrate. Metalphoto is photosensitive anodized aluminum, which is a photographic image that is embedded within the sapphire-hard anodic layer of the aluminum providing superior resistance to corrosion, sunlight degradation, abrasion, extreme temperatures and chemical exposure. This combination gives Metalphoto identification products an expected outdoor lifespan of over 20 years.
