Information














General
Metal tags with platen-printed graphics have finer detail than those that are indented or embossed. Using camera-ready artwork, we can print letters as small as 1/16”, custom letterstyles, rule lines and logos. This type of tag usually has information printed in a form-style layout. Variable information can be handwritten onto the tag with a paint marker or mechanically printed by embossing or engraving.
