Engraved Metal Tags

Engraved metal tags are manufactured by an engraving process that permanently carves information into metal or plastic. It is a metal tag engraving method that Big City Manufacturing has offered from its very beginning in 1976! Our methods include both metal engraving and laser engraving. Metal engraving uses rotary cutters that engrave metal an average of .005" to .012" deep. Laser engraving uses the high heat of a laser that causes the affected part of the metal to essentially vaporize, with multiple passes being used to form deeper marks.

Metal engraved tags are the most durable and long-lasting engraved tags available, with material options that include aluminum, brass and stainless steel. Engraved stainless steel tags, as well as brass and aluminum engraved tags, can be laser engraved with letters and numbers that can be filled with paint or epoxy on one or both sides of a metal tag or nameplate. We are capable of custom metal and laser engraving to your exact design and specifications, making sure your metal engraved tags are able to withstand any environment for which they will be used.
