Specify the metal / specify the grade
More metal choices. More control over the specification.
Our production partner works with a wide range of metals and thicknesses. Send your drawing, preferred alloy or purchasing specification—even if it is not shown here. We review material availability and the manufacturing route around your quantity, finish and marking requirements.
| Metal | Grades and options to request | What to specify |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | 5052, 6061, or another specified alloy; natural or anodized finishes | Alloy, temper if required, thickness, color and finish |
| Stainless steel | 304, 316, or another specified grade | Grade, thickness, surface finish and any required documentation |
| Brass | Brass tags and plates; specific alloy by request | Alloy if required, thickness, appearance and marking method |
| Other metals | Mild/carbon steel, copper and other specialty material requests can be reviewed | Exact material designation, coating and application requirements |
These are specification options to discuss, not a statement that every grade, finish or thickness is stocked or suitable for every process. Availability, minimums, tolerances and material documentation are confirmed before ordering. Tell us about required certificates or traceability at the inquiry stage.
02 / Your information
One design. Thousands of unique IDs.
Order identical tags or build a variable-data program around your spreadsheet. Share the numbering rules, artwork and system requirements so we can review a practical layout and marking process.

QR codes
Link to a customer-supplied URL or encode an identifier alongside readable text.
Data Matrix codes
A compact 2D-code option for equipment and component identification. Specify your reader and data requirements.
Code images are illustrative and are not validated scan samples. Final size, quiet zones, contrast, encoded content and reader compatibility are reviewed for the project. Tracking software is separate unless included in your quote.
More than a single-color layout
Color printing options.
Bring a colored logo, product graphic or color-coded identification layout to the conversation. We review printing options alongside engraving to find a suitable process for your material and use.
- Company logos and brand graphics
- Color-coded equipment or location identification
- Printed layouts with variable marking, where feasible
Printing method, color matching, artwork requirements and resistance to UV, abrasion, heat or chemicals are confirmed by project. Printed color and anodized finishes are different processes.
A clean face / no mounting holes
Adhesive-backed tags.
Request a tag without mounting holes, with adhesive backing for a clean equipment or asset label. We review the adhesive against your mounting surface and working environment.
- No-hole layouts for flat mounting areas
- Black anodized aluminum or other quoted finishes
- Matching text, unique numbers or code layouts
Adhesive type, surface preparation, temperature and chemical exposure must be confirmed. Concept image does not specify an adhesive brand or bond rating.
Request adhesive-backed tags03 / Fit & mounting
Compact tags.
Larger plates.
Your dimensions.
Start with a familiar format or send a drawing for a custom size, shape or hole pattern. We review dimensions alongside material, quantity and marking area.
1″ × 3″1.5″ × 3″2″ × 4″4″ × 6″Round tagsCustom dimensions
Common formats to discuss—not a limit on your project. Final size range, tooling and minimums depend on the production process.
Holes & slots
Discuss screw, rivet, wire, cable or banding attachment. Send hole diameters and center spacing if known.
Adhesive backing
Tell us the mounting surface, temperature and exposure so we can review an appropriate adhesive option.
Custom shapes
Supply DXF, vector artwork or a dimensioned sketch. We can help prepare the specification for quoting.
04 / Thickness options
Choose the right substance.
Thin identification tags, standard equipment plates and thicker constructions serve different applications. Tell us whether the plate mounts flat to equipment, hangs from a wire or needs more rigidity.
| Construction to discuss | Project considerations |
|---|---|
| Thin sheet tags | Weight, mounting surface and handling |
| Standard identification plates | Mounting, hole layout and everyday handling |
| Thicker plates | Rigidity, hardware clearance and shipping weight |
Specify your preferred thickness in inches or millimeters. We confirm available thicknesses and tolerances for the chosen metal and production route.
Thin tags to substantial plates
Choose a thickness—or send your own.
We can review thin sheet identification tags, standard nameplates and heavier plates. Common thickness examples are shown below; custom thicknesses can also be requested.
| Example thickness (inches) | Approximate millimeters |
|---|---|
| 0.020″ | 0.51 mm |
| 0.032″ | 0.81 mm |
| 0.040″ | 1.02 mm |
| 0.060″ | 1.52 mm |
| 1/16″ | 1.59 mm |
| 0.080″ | 2.03 mm |
| 1/8″ | 3.18 mm |
| 3/16″ | 4.76 mm |
| 1/4″ | 6.35 mm |
Examples are not available in every metal or finish, and they are not dimensional tolerances. Imperial and metric stock sizes may differ. Your quote and approved drawing establish the actual thickness, tolerance, manufacturing process and price. For precision requirements, specify thickness numerically rather than gauge alone.
Evaluate before a larger commitment
Discuss samples before production.
A physical sample can help your team evaluate appearance, marking, fit or mounting before a larger order. Tell us what you need to test when requesting your quote.
Sample requests are reviewed individually.
We may recommend a stock sample, locally prepared concept sample or production-partner sample. Availability, cost and timing depend on the project; samples are not guaranteed or automatically free.
A locally prepared sample may differ from the final production process. Any differences and approval requirements will be discussed.

Illustrative project pricing for engraved 1″ × 3″ anodized aluminum tags. Final pricing depends on thickness, color, marking, mounting and packaging requirements. Shipping, taxes and any setup charges are confirmed in your quote. Quantities between these examples are quoted individually; these are example quantities, not automatic price bands.
Request pricing for your quantityPlanning a large program?
From 1,000 to 250,000 tags, share your total requirement and any planned releases. Capacity, packaging and delivery schedules are confirmed for your specification.
Allow several weeks for high-volume work. A 3–5-week planning window may suit some projects, but production and delivery dates are confirmed with the quote after specifications are reviewed.
Purchasing & repeat production
A clear quote before production starts.
Every high-volume project is quoted around the approved specification. Share your purchasing requirements early so payment, documentation, production releases and delivery can be agreed before an order is placed.
Written project quote
Your quote identifies the material and grade, thickness, finish, dimensions, marking, quantity, agreed packaging and delivery basis. Setup, tooling, samples, freight and taxes are identified as included or separately charged, as applicable.
Deposits & payment
Deposit requirements, balance-payment timing and available payment methods are confirmed in the written quote. Do not assume credit or net-payment terms; any such arrangement requires approval.
Purchase orders & vendor paperwork
Send any PO, vendor-onboarding or tax-exemption requirements for review. A purchase order does not automatically establish credit terms or release production. Order acceptance and payment requirements are confirmed separately.
Proofs & production release
We agree the drawing, artwork, numbering data and any sample requirements before release. Production is scheduled once the required approvals and payment or approved purchasing arrangements are in place.
Repeat orders & scheduled releases
Reference your previous job and tell us whether the specification is unchanged or numbering should continue. Annual quantities, separate deliveries and small replacement batches are quoted individually; annual forecasts do not automatically qualify for one-run volume pricing.
Changes, discrepancies & replacements
Tell us promptly about a suspected material, marking or quantity discrepancy and provide photos and affected IDs where possible. We review it against the approved specification and agree the appropriate resolution. Changes after approval, remakes and replacement pricing or timing are reviewed case by case.
Delivery and country of manufacture: Quotes distinguish production time from transit and any agreed inspection or repackaging time. Tell us about a firm delivery deadline, required material certificates or domestic-origin restrictions before ordering. The production route and country of manufacture can be identified in your written quote.
Start your project
Tell us what needs identifying.
You do not need every specification figured out. Start with your application and approximate quantity; we will review the options with you.
- One-time orders or repeat production
- Identical, sequential or unique data
- Blank, engraved or printed tags
- Samples evaluated by request
Before you request a quote
Useful answers for project buyers.
Can each tag have different text, numbers or codes?
Variable-data projects can be reviewed from a spreadsheet. Send the data structure, number of layouts and code requirements. We confirm feasibility and the approval process before production.
What is the minimum order and how large can a project be?
This high-volume program starts at 1,000 tags and scales to projects of up to 250,000 tags. Some configurations may require higher minimums. Ask whether different numbers or designs can be combined; production capacity and timing are confirmed with your quote.
Are other anodized colors available?
Other colors can be requested. We confirm current availability, minimums and any color-matching or sample requirements when quoting. Concept images are not exact color standards.
Can I get a sample before placing a production order?
Ask us to review sample options. Depending on the project, a stock sample, locally prepared concept or partner-made sample may be appropriate. Cost, availability and timing are quoted individually; no free sample or sample delivery date is guaranteed.
Can you supply blank tags or use our existing drawings?
Yes, request blank tags or submit your existing drawings for review. Material, coating, size, holes, tolerances and suitability for your marking process are confirmed before ordering.
Can the order be sorted by building, location or number range?
Include your grouping and packaging requirements in the inquiry. We review them with the data schedule and include the agreed organization in the quote.
Do QR tags include software or asset records?
This program quotes physical tags and their marking. Customer-supplied links or identifiers can be reviewed. Tracking software, data setup and installation are separate unless expressly included in the quote.
What if we need fewer tags or a faster turnaround?
Tell us your deadline and quantity. We can review whether a different production route is a better fit. Visit our industrial metal tag options or contact us directly.
