Anodized Aluminum Dog Tags

Anodized aluminum is what you order when the tag is a piece of merchandise rather than a document. The anodizing carries real color — red, blue, purple, gold, green, pink, black, orange and silver — and the laser cuts through the colored layer to the bright metal underneath, so the text reads as a light mark on a saturated field.

The weight is the other reason people choose it. At roughly a third the mass of stainless, a set of these disappears around a neck, which matters for anything worn all day by a child, a runner or a festival crowd.

Color-matched anodizing is not a spot-color process, so we send physical color references rather than screen proofs when the shade matters. Text, logos, QR codes and small line art all engrave cleanly; fine gradients do not, and we will flag artwork that will not hold before it goes on the laser.

Schools, festivals, gyms and merchandise programs run them in the thousands. Send your artwork and quantity for a free mockup and quote on anodized aluminum dog tags today.
