Sato America has partnered with Metalcraft, a provider of durable nameplate, label and RFID products, to offer on-metal tag printing, RFID encoding services.

Available with a range of high-performance adhesive, the Universal Mini Onsite Printable tags are ideal for work-in-process applications in manufacturing environments.
They can also be used for asset management applications in healthcare, IT, automotive, and other environments where variable information is frequently printed, encoded, and updated on site.
