Our stamped letters are CAPS ONLY. If you would like Uppercase and Lowercase lettering, we do offer this with our laser etched products. The size and shape of the tag, number, and location of holes governs the stamping and numbering area. Our stamping is a special NB&T font, but it is closest to Helvetica font.
