About Us

Family-run • St. Anthony, Idaho

Better tags start before the engraving.

We manufacture custom metal tags, plates and stencils in our Idaho shop—from sheet stock to the finished product.

Custom Cutouts grew from a simple expectation: a custom product should arrive with a finish you are proud to put on your equipment, your project or your own products.

Why we make our own

We wanted a better blank. So we built the capability to make it.

We started by manufacturing stencils and engraving metal tags. As our tag work grew, we became frustrated with the condition of the purchased blanks we received: scratches, bends and curved surfaces that made a professional finished product harder to achieve.

Many of those blanks came through overseas supply chains and mass-production stamping processes. They did not consistently meet the standards we wanted for our customers.

Rather than keep working around those problems, we invested in the machinery to manufacture our own tags and plates from sheet stock, to our own strict requirements. Quality became something we could manage from the beginning.

From sheet stock to finished identification

One shop. The whole process.

Manufacturing the blank and engraving the finished tag gives us control over the details that matter to your order.

Cut to your requirements

We start with sheet stock and laser-cut the size, shape and mounting pattern your project needs. Custom dimensions do not have to depend on an available stamped blank.

Protect the finish

We control how the material is handled through cutting, finishing and engraving, with attention to flatness, surface appearance and the final presentation.

Engrave for the application

Matching text, sequential numbers, logos and identification data are applied in-house. The blank and engraving are planned together for a clean, consistent result.

Quality and scheduling go together

Quick turnaround comes from controlling the work.

When we can take an order from sheet stock to finished engraved tags ourselves, we can schedule the work directly instead of waiting for a supplier to manufacture the blanks.

That is how we support quick turnaround while keeping close control over the finish of every product. We can also adapt to custom sizes, hole patterns and quantities without handing the core manufacturing process to someone else.

Production timing depends on quantity, material, design and finishing requirements. Product listings show standard lead times; we confirm timing for custom projects and specialty finishes when quoting.

“We invested in making our own tags because the quality of the blank matters just as much as the engraving.”
