SF128 Marking Specification Formatter

Configure identifier placement and generate a printable marking specification.
Step 1

Object category

Step 2

Marking components

Step 3

Permanence level

How durable must the marking be? Match permanence to the object's expected lifecycle and the identifier's purpose.

Step 4

Redundancy

How many marking locations? Redundancy reduces risk of loss or damage to the identifier.

Step 5

Where shall the identifier be placed? Select all that apply, in order of preference.
