Utility Pole Tags provide Reliable Lifetime Pole Identification
Pole Tags identify utility distribution poles with through years of exterior exposure and remain readable for the life of your distribution pole. The pole tag’s durable sub-surface image endures harshest winter and summer conditions. Tags can be attached to poles with permanent adhesive or nails or other mechanical attachment methods.
Exceptional durability with sub-surface images sealed within the anodic layer of aluminum. Excellent readability and superior resistance to abrasion, chemicals, weather, and UV radiation.
Durable enough to withstand the harshest environments and resist:
- Prolonged exposure to UV radiation—up to 30+ years outdoor lifetime
- Chemicals and solvents
- Abrasive exposure
- Moisture and salt spray
- Extreme temperatures
- Multiple freeze/thaw cycles
Electric utility and telecom network infrastructure requires durable identification to ensure operational efficiency, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Yet many pole tagging solutions fall short and create challenges such as:
- Faded markings that compromise readability and slow inspections
- Inconsistent numbering and missing sequences
- Adhesive failures in extreme heat or freezing temperatures
- Corrosion that degrades barcode performance over time
Express solves these challenges with industrial pole tags engineered to deliver:
- Extreme Durability: Anodized aluminum construction resists UV radiation, chemicals, salt spray, and abrasion for 30+ years of outdoor service.
- Superior Readability: Sub-surface imaging locks barcodes and legends beneath the aluminum surface to maintain legibility over decades.
- Flexible Customization: Available in any size, shape, sequential numbering, color coding, and barcode symbology for modern tracking and compliance.
- Reliable Data Capture: supports serialized identification, asset tracking, and inspection records to streamline your operations.
