Engraved Metal Tags for Shipping Crates & Reusable Containers
Custom engraved metal tags for reusable shipping crates, equipment cases, export packaging, and industrial shipments. Give every crate a clear identity with matching labels, sequential numbers, or a list of unique IDs.

Choose how your crates are identified
Matching crate tags
Put the same company name, property statement, project name, or return information on every crate. For a compact standard format, shop our 1″ × 3″ bulk matching metal tags.
Sequential crate numbers
Give each reusable crate its own number while keeping the rest of the layout consistent. Shop 1″ × 3″ sequential numbered metal tags for standard packs.
Variable data from your list
Need different serial numbers, part numbers, case IDs, destinations, or other fields on every plate? Send your spreadsheet and mounting requirements for a custom quote. We can also quote larger plates, unusual hole patterns, and other sizes.
For defense suppliers and government shipments
We can engrave customer-provided CAGE codes, serial numbers, contract references, and other identification data on metal tags for crates or reusable containers. Supply the exact text, layout, and any drawing or purchase-order requirements so we can quote the part you need.
Packaging requirements are contract specific. An engraved plate is an identification component; it does not by itself replace a required MIL-STD-129 shipping label, barcode, military shipping label, or other contract marking. Your contracting or packaging team should specify the required markings and verify the complete package.
For commercial shipments and reusable packaging
A metal identification tag gives wood crates, returnable transport containers, and equipment cases a clean, professional appearance and a durable ID that stays with the container. Common layouts include a company name with a crate number, asset ID, contents category, or return contact.
Materials and mounting
Our standard 1″ × 3″ packs offer engraved aluminum and stainless steel options. Choose the finish and hole configuration available on the listing, or request a quote for a custom plate. Tell us how the tag will attach, whether the container is reused, and what conditions it will face.
