What People Say About us
Personalized Dog Tags for Military, Pets, and Medical Alert
The same manufacturing floor produces three fundamentally different products. Military dog tags are embossed on non-reflective matte stainless steel with rubber silencers to eliminate noise in tactical environments. Pet ID tags are deep laser engraved for permanent readability and available with silent slide-on attachments that lay flat against a collar. Medical alert tags use hypoallergenic 304-grade steel with high-contrast engraving designed for instant legibility by first responders.
Each use case demands a different combination of finish, attachment, and engraving method. When you request a free quote, our team matches the right specifications to your purpose so the tag performs exactly as intended, not just as a piece of jewelry but as a functional tool.
Materials, Shapes, and Finishes: Build Your Perfect Tag
Every order starts with your choice of metal. 304-grade stainless steel is our most popular option for its unmatched durability, rust resistance, and hypoallergenic properties. We also offer classic brass, polished bronze, and premium gold-plated finishes over solid copper bases for a refined look.
Beyond materials, you control the shape, size, and finish. Choose from standard military-style rectangles, bone shapes for pets, round and oval profiles, or fully custom silhouettes designed by our team. Every tag ships as a complete set with a military-spec ball chain and optional rubber silencers to prevent noise and scratching.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get custom dog tags made?
Our standard production time is one to two business days once your design is approved. Because we engrave and manufacture everything in-house at our South Carolina facility, there are no delays from third-party vendors. We also offer overnight shipping for time-sensitive orders like events, memorials, or emergency medical IDs.
Can I order just one custom dog tag with no minimum?
Yes. We have a strict no-minimum-order policy. Whether you need a single personalized memorial tag, a replacement military set, or one updated medical alert ID, you receive the same deep laser engraving and premium materials as any large order. One tag or one thousand, the quality is identical.
What is the difference between embossed and laser engraved dog tags?
Embossing physically stamps raised text into the metal surface, replicating the classic military dog tag look. Laser engraving uses a high-power fiber laser to carve text and images deep into the metal, producing fine detail, logos, and photo reproductions that embossing cannot achieve. Both methods create permanent marks, but laser engraving offers far greater design flexibility and precision.
What information should I put on a custom dog tag?
It depends on the purpose. For pets, include your phone number, pet name, and city or address. For medical alerts, include your condition, critical medications, and an ICE emergency contact number. For military-style tags, follow the standard five-line format with name, ID number, blood type, and religious preference. Our team can guide you through formatting for any use case when you request a quote.
