Valve tags, legend plates, electrical panel and disconnect tags, and equipment ID tags in anodized aluminum, stainless, or brass. Laser-marked from your list, one tag or a hundred, proofed before marking, and shipped in days rather than weeks. Local pickup in Ogden or shipped anywhere in the U.S.
Catalog tag suppliers are built for plant-wide programs: minimums of fifty or a hundred, a setup charge, and lead times measured in weeks. That is the wrong shape for an electrician who needs disconnect tags before the inspector arrives, a panel builder who changed three legends on a drawing revision, or a mechanical contractor closing out a job with a valve schedule in hand.
A fiber laser does not care whether the run is one tag or a thousand. Tags are cut from sheet to the size you need, the text is driven straight from your list, and there is no tooling, plate, or ribbon to set up. So a small order is quoted as a small order and ships in days.
The same process produces stainless equipment and compliance plates and ASME and NBIC code nameplates when the job calls for more than a tag.
Round or rectangular tags with valve number, service, and normal position, drilled for chain or wire. Numbered sequentially from your valve schedule so each tag is unique. Stainless for steam, chemical, and outdoor lines; anodized aluminum where weight and cost matter.
Mechanical contractors · plant maintenance · commissioning
Legends for pushbuttons, selector switches, and pilot lights, sized to fit standard 22 mm and 30 mm operators or your enclosure cutout. START, STOP, E-STOP, AUTO / HAND / OFF, or the machine-specific wording from your schematic, with the tag number beside it.
Panel shops · machine builders · automation integrators
Identification for panelboards, disconnects, motor starters, and feeders: panel designation, fed-from, voltage, and circuit. NEC 110.22 requires each disconnecting means to be legibly marked to indicate its purpose, and a metal tag stays legible where a label does not.
Electrical contractors · facilities electricians · inspector sign-off
Unit designations for air handlers, rooftop units, pumps, and compressors, plus service tags with the installer’s name and a QR code to the service record. Stainless holds up on a roof; anodized aluminum suits mechanical rooms.
HVAC contractors · property maintenance · controls technicians
Circuit and cable identification that survives pulling, weather, and the next contractor. Slotted for wire tie or stainless cable tie, marked with cable number, origin, and destination from your cable schedule.
Electrical and low-voltage contractors · utilities
Shop tool crib and fixture identification, mold and die tags, calibration tags, and small-lot inventory tags with a serial and Data Matrix or QR code. Deep-engraved stainless where tags see abrasion.
Machine shops · tool rooms · calibration labs
No ink, fill, or label to fade or peel. Pick by environment: aluminum for weight and cost indoors, stainless for anything wet, hot, or outside, brass for the traditional look.
The laser removes the dye from colored anodize, leaving a bright, high-contrast legend against black, red, blue, or gold. Clear anodize and bare aluminum give only a gray mark, so black anodize is the standard stock. Light, inexpensive, and resistant to solvents and weather. The standard choice for legend plates and most interior tags.
Marking aluminum →Laser-annealed for a dark mark with no material removed, or deep-engraved where tags will be abraded. Holds up to steam, chemicals, washdown, and outdoor exposure for the life of the installation. The choice for valve tags on process lines and anything on a roof.
Marking stainless steel →Traditional for valve tags and dark-marked by the laser for a legible, conventional look. Softer than stainless and suited to interior mechanical rooms rather than corrosive service.
Material marking guide →For tamper-evident tags on hardware that cannot take metal, see the acrylate asset tags.
No account to open and no artwork to prepare. A photo of the schedule or a few lines typed into the form is enough to start.
No minimum. One replacement valve tag, three legend plates for a panel change, or ten disconnect tags for an inspection are ordinary orders here. Tags are cut from sheet and marked by a fiber laser, so there is no tooling or plate to amortize; the cost of a small order is mostly the proof and the material.
Most tag orders ship within two business days of proof approval, and a proof usually goes out the same business day the list arrives. If you are up against an inspection or a commissioning date, say so on the RFQ and we will tell you honestly whether it can be met.
Usually. Send a photo and the dimensions of an existing tag and we match size, material, hole placement, and type style as closely as the stock allows. Where the original was engraved and filled, a laser-marked tag will look slightly different up close but reads the same from arm’s length.
Acceptance is the authority having jurisdiction’s call, but the NEC asks that identification be legible and durable enough for the environment, and a laser mark on anodized aluminum or stainless has no ink, fill, or adhesive label to fail. Where a specification calls for engraved phenolic (lamacoid) nameplates, check whether metal is an acceptable alternative before ordering; we mark metal only.
Anodized aluminum is available in black and a range of stock colors, and the laser produces a bright legend against the color, so color coding by tag background is straightforward. The mark itself is one color. Where a standard requires colored text or signal colors on the legend, such as red E-STOP lettering, a printed or filled plate is the right product and we will say so.
Yes, with no added cost per variation. Valve numbers, cable IDs, panel designations, and serials are driven from your list, so a 40-tag order with 40 different legends runs the same as 40 identical tags. A QR or Data Matrix code can be added to each tag and is read back before shipment.
We run a fiber laser on metal and do not produce two-ply plastic or phenolic plates. For many electrical and mechanical identification jobs, anodized aluminum or stainless is an accepted and longer-lasting alternative. If your specification requires plastic, a sign or trophy shop with a rotary engraver or CO2 laser is the right source.
Anodized aluminum, stainless, or brass. Proof the same business day on most orders; no minimum, no setup fee.
