We make tags to function, to get your lost pet
back to you safely. It's simple, when you buy a Pet ID Tag you are buying
it protect your pet from loss, so buy the tag that is going to do that best. In this same vein we
engrave whatever you feel you need on the tag to protect your pet . Our standard format is
illustrated below, this is not necessarily what I would recommend you have engraved on your pet's
tag. We can engrave both sides of the tag, up to six lines on each
side (sixth line is limited to two letter state abbreviations). You may want to list several phone
numbers instead of an address, or you may want to have your vet's name and phone
number engraved on the back of the tag. We do recommend that you avoid putting your last name
behind your pet's name, this is obvious and will have the affect of making the pet's name smaller
in lettering size. The less lettering you request, the larger, and easier to read, the lettering
on the tag will be; 3 lines of text will be larger than 4 lines, etc.
NOTE:
All text is automatically centered top to bottom and left to right. See examples below.
All text is in all caps / upper case. We cannot do accent marks or the underscore character.
We only put quotes around the pet's name if you enter them in the instruction fields.
More Isn't Better
(While pictures below are of plastic tags, all discussion about text formatting applies to stainless & brass tags as well.)
The Green Tag below looks good and is easy to read. The Red Tag has smaller letters and is more
difficult to read because unnecessary information has been requested. Putting your last name after
your pet's name is redundant and results in small cramped text, also avoid middle initials and long owner names:
THE CARLSONS / BOB CARLSON / CARLSON FAMILY are all good way to list names.
 NICE |
 BLAH |
Consider the shape you are ordering too:
Round and Hearts narrow towards the bottom, lots of text on lines 4 & 5 may
result in a very cramped look.
You can make your tag easier to read by using the back, too.
The Yellow Tags below represent a two sided tag, front and back.
The Blue Tag represents a tag with all the same information engraved on one side.
How we make your pet's tag is up to you.
However, only one side is available for Cat Face, Dog Face, and CollarTags™.
You Can Have Other Information Engraved On The Tag
Such as medical information, messages, a vacation phone and address, cell phone, pager number.
Again, our formatting examples above are shown for plastic, but we also use these formatting techniques on stainless steel and brass tags.
