Barry, Questions that would help us: What information is on the label (data/human readable) What step in the process are you going to apply the label? (If you want to read the label at the beginning of the process, you are looking at a material like kapton, etc) Size - do you have room for a 1D label, or will you use 2D (Data Matrix) Are you labeling panelized boards? If so, will you serialize the panel and each individual board? Are you open to other technologies, like Laser-etch, laser-bonding, Continuous Ink Jet, etc We evaluated several serialization options and have chosen to go with laser etching a 2D data matrix serial number on our boards.
