Custom Metal Warning Tags & Information Plates
Custom Metal Warning Tags and Information Plates
Engraved aluminum and stainless steel plates for customer-supplied warnings, instructions and equipment information.
Metal warning tags are useful when a facility or manufacturer needs durable wording on equipment, guards, panels, access points or service areas. Custom Cutouts can reproduce approved text, numbering and layouts in bulk, including matching and variable-data orders.
Common applications
- Customer-supplied warning and caution wording
- Lockout, isolation or service reminders
- Operating and maintenance instructions
- Equipment limitations or access information
- Contact, ownership and emergency information
- Numbered warning plates tied to facility procedures
Keep the message readable
Long warnings require a larger plate, smaller text or multiple lines. Viewing distance, lighting, mounting height and surrounding equipment affect readability. Send the exact approved wording and available mounting area before selecting a size.
Choosing a tag or plate size
| Format | Good starting point |
|---|---|
| 1.5 × 3 inches | Multiple lines, logos, ownership text and larger identifiers |
| 1 × 3 inches | Narrow equipment surfaces and moderate text |
| ⅝ × 2⅞ inches | Short, usually single-line identification |
| Custom plate | Long wording, equipment-specific dimensions, unusual mounting or required data fields |
The amount of information, character height and mounting holes determine the practical plate size. Send the full layout before choosing the smallest possible tag.
Standard bulk tags available online
Matching, sequential and smaller formats are also available in related sizes. Projects with different text on every tag, custom dimensions, logos or unusual holes can be quoted from an approved spreadsheet or drawing.
Request a custom warning-plate layout
Send the required wording or spreadsheet, approximate dimensions, material or finish, hole pattern, mounting method and quantity. Include a photo or drawing of the installation when available. We can prepare a layout mockup and bulk quote.
