Blank Tags for On-Site Identification

/1 Comment/in /by

National Band & Tag is known for our large variety of customization options, from laser etching, stamping, hybrid tags, custom layouts, numbering, and more. But did you know, we can also make blank tags? For those who wish to engrave the tags themselves, or for those who need immediate on-site identification, our blank tags are for you!

Options:

We can produce any of our hundreds of tags styles/materials/sizes blank. We offer hand stamps and a hand engraver to help you customize the tags yourself. Hand stamps are available in A-Z and 0-9 in sizes 1/16″, 1/8″, 1/4″, and 3/16″. Our tags can also work with laser etching machines, dot peen marking, and embossing machines. If you already have a machine that you need the blank tags to fit in, let us know what size and we can send some tags for you to test on before placing an order. Another option for simple on-site identification is to use Write-On tags. These tags are made of thin, flexible aluminum so you can write on them with a ball-point pen.

Kennel License Tags for Commercial Breeders

/0 Comments/in /by

If you are a county in one of the states who issue kennel license tags for commercial dog breeders, National Band & Tag is here to help!

Each state has its own definition of what a kennel, commercial breeder, and a pet store is. Generally, a “Kennel” means an enclosed, controlled area, inaccessible to other animals, in which a person keeps, harbors or maintains five or more dogs under controlled conditions. A general definition for a “commercial dog breeder” is someone who breeds a large number of dogs, within a certain time frame. Each state’s definitions, standards of care, licensing, registration and permits, and inspections can be viewed on this PDF, provided by the Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).

For counties who need to issue kennel licensing tags, there are two main options to choose from:

Option 1: A tag to go on the kennel with corresponding tags for the dogs.

Option 2: No tag on the kennel, just tags for the dogs.

However your county decides to do their kennel licensing tags, National Band & Tag has lots of customization options to fit your needs. You can shop by shape (square, round, oblong, rectangle, etc.). The most popular style for the tag that goes on the kennel is style #187. We have 11 different colors to choose from, so you can have a different color every year. Your custom stamping can have your county’s name, maximum dog limits, sequential numbering, year, and more.

(Please note – If you are a commercial dog breeder in need of a license or tags, please contact your county. We sell to the county, not the end-user).

National Band & Tag is the manufacturer for all your plant label needs! With our wide variety of sizes, styles, shapes, and material, there are plenty of options for you to choose from. We sell plant labels in packs of 100 with quantity discounts at 500, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000 labels. No garden is too small or too large. Proper plant identification is important for the gardener planting, as well as for the garden centers selling the plants.

Plastic plant labels are available in pink, orange, yellow, or white .020″ Vinyl. Plastic labels come in an oblong shape (style 2739) or a stake shape. We have 13 different stake sizes to choose from (style 2745, style 2754 – 2788)!  All of our plastic labels can be custom laser-etched with a barcode, text, or logo. Contact us for a laser etching quote.

Write-On tags are available in .005″ aluminum or .005″ copper. These are very thin, flexible materials. Copper Write-On tags are available in an oblong shape (style 2720) or in the shape of a watering can (style 2721)! Aluminum Write-On tags are available in 3 different rectangular sizes (styles 2702w1 – 2702w3), an oblong shape (style 2729), or a rectangle with a wrap-around tail (style 2725). Tags featured in the picture below (except the wrap around tag), have the option of copper wires attached. Oblong shaped tags have the option of an eyelet in the hole for extra reinforcement. The 2702 series comes with a biodegradable cardboard backing. This makes writing on the tag while in the garden easier because the cardboard gives you a sturdy backing to write against.
