A dog tag is worn every day and knocked about constantly. Whatever is marked on it, a name, a phone number, a message or a design, has to stay clear and readable for as long as the tag is worn.
The customer wanted freedom over the design, a choice of metals, and the ability to order as few tags as they needed, even just one.
Neolase, a laser marking subcontractor based in Sheffield, laser-engraves each tag with the customer's design. The laser marks the metal itself, so the engraving is permanent, not a print or a paint that can chip, fade or rub away.
Because the laser is controlled by software, any design can be marked without special tooling or a new die for each job. That is why there is no minimum order quantity: one tag, a handful or hundreds can all be made. Tags can be made in aluminium, which is light, or stainless steel, which is hard-wearing and corrosion-resistant.

For the customer, laser-engraved dog tags from Neolase mean:
| Benefit | What it meant for the customer |
|---|---|
| Any design | Names, numbers, messages, logos and graphics can all be engraved, laid out as the customer wishes. |
| Choice of metal | Aluminium for a light tag, or stainless steel for a hard-wearing, corrosion-resistant one. |
| No minimum order | A minimum order quantity of 1, so a single personalised tag is as welcome as a large batch. |
| Permanent | The engraving is part of the metal, so it does not rub off, chip or fade like paint or print. |
| Individuals and businesses | Tags can be ordered by a dog owner for one pet or by a business for stock. |
