Description

These are 2nds quality Jingle Free Tags. A pack of rabid squirrels knocked over our coating rack while we coated and baked these tags so all of them have some blemishes - dust, small scratches, a 'wrinkly' appearance in the coating, uneven coating, an odd scorch mark, etc.

Once engraved, we don't expect these tags to perform any less than any other tag! But since they are a little less "pretty", we're offering them up at a great discount!

 

See main tag listing for more complete description.

  • Large 1" tags look best with 5 lines or less.
  • 1.5" tags look great with up to 8 lines.
  • We do have a selection of graphics available, however they require more time and formatting consideration in placing them on tags with other text. Please mention your graphic request with your order. View our current graphic options here
  • DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CHECK YOUR TEXT FOR ACCURACY and keep it short :)

                CNC engraving vs laser engraving

                  Our buckles and tags are engraved with a diamond-tipped CNC machine, never a laser! Laser engraving is used by nearly all other collar companies - lasers are inexpensive but only burn the top surface coating of buckles. This etching often wears off the buckle in a short time. Our engraver physically removes metal and surface coating to provide a longer-lasting, professional engraving when compared to laser-etched products.

                  While our engraving process is vastly superior to most "laser etched" products on the market, care should still be taken to protect your items from friction damage.

                  The easiest way to do this is to avoid hanging metal objects near your tag! Hanging tags, lights, and other gizmos that swing or rub against engraved tags will inevitably cause premature wear and tear. Instead, fasten these items at the adjustment slide or a mini tag ring so they cannot make contact with your tag. Similarly, if you wash your engraved item, remove it first or protect it by placing it inside a garment bag or a sock so it doesn't get beat up in the washer/dryer.
