Strongest: The bulldozer-tread tier. 12 mil plastic, EXTREME protection.
Strongest-tier tags are what you order when failure isn't on the table. The 10-mil plastic core gives the tag mechanical resistance against impacts, scraping, and gouging that thinner labels can't survive. The 3M™ 467 adhesive layer bonds to surfaces that other adhesives slide off, including powdercoat, polyethylene, polypropylene, and rough cast metal. A 5-mil textured overlaminate seals the printed graphics behind a layer rated for five-plus years of outdoor UV. Strongest-tier tags have been field-tested on construction equipment, oilfield assets, and even bulldozer treads.
