 This Nickel-Copper Alloy is used for its excellent combination of corrosion resistance, strength & ductility.  The corrosion resistance in seawater is especially good under high velocity conditions.

COLORS: Plain Monel only - No colors are available. We do have colored plastic washers that can be sealed into the ear tag, but they do tend to get chewed on if animals are housed together.

NUMBERING/STAMPING:
3 digit consecutive stamped number will fit on one side - 6 digit is available but will extend around the other side of the band.
Paint-filled characters are available for an additional charge of $8 per 100 on less than 500 tags or $5 per 100 on 500 or more..
Special stamping available - 1 line of 4 characters.  $10 net set-up charge.

LASER-ETCHING:
Laser-Etched Consecutive numbering & lettering is available for a charge of $60 per 1000 ear tags for each side of tag.  For example, a consecutive number on one side would be an additional $60 per 1000 tags.  To add a name or word or letter code to the other side of the ear tag would be an additional $60 per 1000 tags.  So the total would be: $95 for the tags, plus $60 for the number, plus $60 for the letter coding for a total of $215 per 1000 tags.

SPECIAL CODES: - We can laser-etch a series of special codes if you submit a computer file with the codes.  We need a single column text file with each line representing the characters for each tag.  Questions may be directed to: info@nationalband.com

Laser-Etched Numbers can be compressed to fit more numbers on one side of the band.  (back)

 New Stainless Steel Applicator: style 1005s1   $27.50 each
Place the ear tag in the applicator keeping the hole side of the tag flat against the jaw of the applicator with the indentation.  Locate the tag within the ear, applying beyond a ring of cartilage.  After sealing, be sure to check that the tag point has come through the hole and bent around sealing properly.  Tags should be washed in alcohol or similar cleaning solution to help prevent infection to the ear.

Our new Stainless Steel Applicator is designed to seal the tags with minimal pressure, while providing a good, secure seal. 
Applicator can be used with or without the spring.  The spring applies slight closing pressure to help hold the tag in the applicator prior to sealing
