We will work with your technical, quality assurance and commercial staff to ensure that our product is suitable for the operating environment and application in which your equipment operates. Common issues that we can prevent becoming problems are:
- Fading colours when labels are exposed to direct sunlight over extended periods
- Discolouration of substrate in outdoor applications – we stock substrates suitable for “extreme environments”
- Labels not fitting into recesses – we need to know what dimensional tolerances are required to select the optimum manufacturing processes
- Holes and LED windows not lining up with metal work or plastic mouldings
- Labels not adhering well to surfaces e.g. low surface energy materials, cast steel, heavily textured materials
- Safety symbols not complying with International standards
We carry out a technical review of your requirements at the enquiry stage to ensure we fully understand the application and if we are not sure about something, we will ask you.
We have sophisticated equipment to measure colour, colour contrast, ink adhesion and many other properties to ensure that your product will comply to British, European or International standards if applicable.
Our aim is to make your life easier by being a trustworthy partner who will add our expertise to yours to ensure the product is right first time. The way we do things is customer driven. We have the capability to cost effectively manufacture everything from a single label or nameplate to many thousands
MTM are certificated to the International Quality and Environmental standards ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 and are a UL Authorised label supplier.
Our Products
Self-Adhesive labels
We manufacture single and multi-colour surface printed self-adhesive vinyl, polyolefin and polyester labels for both short, medium and long-term applications.
We have many cutting options to provide shaped labels or labels with holes efficiently regardless of the order quantity.
For additional protection against abrasion and exposure to direct sunlight, labels can be laminated with a gloss, satin or matt finish clear laminate.
MTM offer “tamper evident” and “Void” materials for security applications
We offer UL969 compliant self-adhesive labels including those with serialised numbers
In addition to flexible self-adhesive labels, we produce surface or reverse printed semi-rigid and rigid labels and signs with adhesive backing.
Aluminium Nameplates
MTM supply aluminium serial plates, model number and branding plates using both screen printing and digital printing equipment. We also have the finishing equipment, including CNC routing to provide rectangular, circular or complex shapes with mounting holes and/or adhesive backing.
The printing of all our aluminium plates is sub-surface i.e. sealed under the anodised layer of the aluminium.
We stock satin finish aluminium in thicknesses of 0.3mm, 0.5mm. 1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm and matt finish in 1.5mm and 3mm.
We supply nameplates with sequential number, bar codes or QR codes using digital printing, dot matrix stamping or laser etching.
Stainless Steel Nameplates
We supply both surface printed and laser etched plates with holes and/or adhesive backing.
Our standard is to use T316 stainless steel but we also offer bespoke solutions using 2mm thick Super Duplex stainless steel for extremely harsh environments.
We hold stocks of 0.9mm, 1.2mm and 1.5mm and 2mm brushed (dull polished) T316 stainless steel.
Our in-house facilities are particularly suited to small to medium quantities including plates with sequential numbers or variable information. For large quantities we have the option of working with a European partner company with world class chemical etching facilities.
Graphic Overlays
We offer graphic overlays printed on the reverse of polyester, polycarbonate or mark-resist PVC with adhesive backing and the following options:
- Cut outs
- LED frosted windows
- Tactile/braille
- Embossed buttons
- Photo luminescent “glow in the dark” background
- Gloss, velvet gloss, matt velvet or brushed steel effect finish
- Dimensional tolerances down to +/-0.3mm
Engraved Products
We have modern equipment to manufacture anything from a simple numbered disc to a complex control panel in either aluminium or plastic laminate using either laser or rotary engraving techniques.
We supply tactile/braille labels for lockers or safety applications.
Vinyl Cut and print and plot decals
We manufacture decals with pre-spaced lettering and carrier tape using either top branded CAD vinyl or printed material if a specific colour is required.
CAD vinyl is preferable for long term outdoor applications and is available in many colours.
Decals supplied by MTM are applied to machines, specialist vehicles and construction equipment.

MTM has extensive expertise in manufacturing graphics products which are illuminated.
Our products are designed to meet the stringent international standards for colour and colour contrast.
Our range includes:
