ABSTRACT:
Broadly, the present invention is directed to a method for making a metal tag bearing visible indicia thereon and which can be welded onto a substrate. Such inventive method commences by providing a metal sheet having (1) a painted zone upon which is imprinted visible indicia, and (2) a bare metal zone, to form said tag. A preform is attached to said bare metal zone, preferably by welding. The preform has a depression adapted to receive weld wire for welding said tag to said metal substrate. Preferably, the depression is a hole penetrating through the preform to the bare metal zone. The preform also is thicker than the metal tag, and of thickness effective for it being attached to metal by welding. The metal tag is attached to the substrate by inserting a weld wire through the preform hole to make contact with the tag bare metal zone and welding the metal tag to said substrate. Also disclosed is a metal tag bearing indicia thereon and which can be welded onto a metal substrate.
