ID Mark®
This ID Mark® process uses a photo-resist polyester and aluminum label process that has a one-color image reproduced on a variety of different color substrates. For safety, caution or warning signs, the polyester and aluminum labels provide exceptional resolution, reproducing ultra-fine artwork, diagrams, photos, charts and many other graphic designs, whether for a one of a kind project to short runs or rush requirements.
Choices include color and high-intensity reflective and luminescent styles, as well as a variety of background colors with black, red, blue, green or gray color effects. Flexible and pliable for placement on non-flat objects and surfaces, these interior polyester and aluminum labels, signs and decals all come with a high-performance, industrial grade, pressure-sensitive adhesive.
ID Mark® - is a photo-sensitive (photoresist) Aluminum and Polyester that is water, chemical and abrasion resistant. These polyester plastic labels are excellent for one-of-a-kind projects to short-run orders.

History of ID MARK®
Did You Know..... that one product can have several lives?As an engineer who may have specified materials or written specs for Military requirements, do you remember 3M Scotchcal? It was a photo-sensitive process used to manufacture labels, decals, signs, nameplates, etc. on aluminum and plastic. It was alcohol-based which used # 8500 developer with a protective spray coating. Well, that was a few years back. Many engineers and Mil-Specs specifically called out on drawings for 3M Scotchcal to meet their strict marking requirements.
Later, it was re-introduced as Dynamark, which offered greater color variety. In 1993 the name was changed to Dynamark II when a water-based method to develop was created. Then in 1994 the two protective sprays #3900 & #3930 were discontinued in place of clear protective overlam sheets in matte, gloss, and velvet finishes. Eventually it became a chemical free process which was much cleaner for the environment, had been greatly improved to be even higher in image quality, and most of all, increased it’s durability/resistance to abrasion, moisture, uv and chemicals.
- ID Mark® is approved by the CSA (Canadian Standards Association) under Class 7921, File # 111331.
