October 13, 2003 - Carried by release film, FoamTag™ consists of .008 in. thick, stainless steel, laser-markable tag atop foam adhesive. Marking of tag is accomplished via low-power CO2 laser printer. Product survives in temperatures to 400°F and liquids typical in machining operations. It is possible to append additional laser markings after tag has been affixed, enabling cradle to grave traceability.

Conventional adhesive labels typically do not adhere robustly to rough or cast surfaces. InfoSight Corporation has developed a secure label for such applications called FoamTag™. The FoamTag™ consists of a (.008” thick) stainless steel, laser markable tag atop a foam adhesive. The tag and adhesive are carried by a release film. Marking of the tag is accomplished by a low power CO2 laser printer such as the InfoSight LabeLase® 1000 unit (10 watts). The FoamTag™ label can survive 400°F temperatures and the liquids typical in machining operations.
It is even possible to append additional laser markings after the tag has been affixed. For example, a casting may be identified at the foundry with a FoamTag™ bearing a tracking number. This same tag can be later marked in the machining facility with a specific part number and date codes. This enables “cradle to grave” traceability.
