Dog Tags

What styles of dogtags do you offer?

You have a choice of many different styles of dogtags: mil-spec shiny, mil-spec matte, notched matte, black, brass, copper, mini, mega, eta. All tags have rolled edges and use the same modern Embossed style raised lettering adopted by the US military in the 1980s.

Please note that both of your tags will be of the same style.

Military Spec Shiny Dogtag

Our standard dogtags are made of stainless steel and are polished to a shiny finish so that you can see a reflection in the tag.

This style of tag with black silencers is standard issue for the US army.

These tags are standard sized measuring 5cm x 2.8cm.

Military Spec Matte Dogtag

Our matte dogtags are made of stainless steel and are left with a dull finish so that you cannot see a reflection in the tag.

These tags are standard sized measuring 5cm x 2.8cm.

Classic WWII Notched Matte Dogtag

Our classic matte notched dogtags are made to resemble vintage WWII, Vietnam and Korean war era dogtags, which were notched for the purpose of alignment in field transcription equipment. Today, this notch serves only as a historical reminder or for aesthetics. We recommend that you choose the vintage deboss type lettering for the classic notched dogtags.

These tags are standard sized measuring 5cm x 2.8cm.

Dual Hole Matte Dogtag

Our dual rivet hole matte dogtags are designed to be riveted, bolted, screwed, or nailed onto almost any item requiring identification such as mailboxes, office doors, pet collars, etc.

These tags are standard sized measuring 5cm x 2.8cm.

Black Powder Coated Dogtag

Our black dog tags are made of steel covered with a durable black powder coating. Consider choosing our black ball-chains with these tags.

These tags are standard sized measuring 5cm x 2.8cm.

Note that the embossed text is bit more difficult to read on black dogtags.

Brass Dogtag

If you are looking for something a bit more unique that stands out, consider our solid brass dogtags. The brass tags will oxidize and tarnish over time giving them a vintage type look also known as a patina effect. This oxidation occurs naturally and is an invited characteristic of brass dog tags.

Consider choosing our brass ball-chains, brass snap hooks, or brass keyrings with these tags.

These tags are standard sized measuring 5cm x 2.8cm.

Mini Shiny Dogtag

Our mini dogtags are made of stainless steel and are polished to a shiny finish.They are about 3/4 the size of a regular dogtag making them ideal for cats or smaller dogs and for keychains.

Due to their smaller size measuring 3.8cm x 2.2cm, they can only contain 3 lines of text, nor do they come with silencers.

Mega Dogtag

Our mega dogtags are made of stainless steel and are polished to a shiny finish. They are about 2 times larger than regular dogtag making them ideal for large messages. They can also be used for drawing simple graphics using each character as a pixel.

These tags measure about 6.4cm x 4.0cm, and can contain up to 8 lines of text.

Note that these tags do NOT come in a set of 2, they are sold indivdually. They come with a single chain, but no silencer.

What's the difference between embossed and debossed dogtags?

Military issue dogtags are imprinted with one of two types of letters: Embossed or Debossed.

The United States Military currently accepts either type of text imprinting since they still use both types of machines, however the modern embossed type is far more common and is what mydogtag.com recommends for most people since it is easier to read and we offer a larger selection of characters than the debossed type. We allow you to choose either type of printing for any style of dogtag, both of which are made with the same computer controlled machine.

Embossed Letters

Embossing is the method where the metal is deformed so that letters are raised ABOVE the surface of the dogtag, similar to the way a name and number looks on a plastic credit card.

This is the modern military standard and is the type that most people prefer.

Debossed Letters

Debossing is the method where the metal is deformed so that letters are sunken BELOW the surface of dogtag. These look they have been stamped or indented into the dogtag.

This was the most common type issued durring WWII, Korea and Vietnam era wars and was issued on a notched dogtag with the rolled edge down (we call this our classic WWII style dogtag). We recommend choosing the debossed type for the classic style dogtag to be consistent with the era.

We are one of the very few dogtag manufacturers to make our debossed dogtags with a modern computer controlled debossing machine to ensure accuraccy and uniformity. (Most other suppliers use WWII era human operated Addressograph machines).

What Chain sizes and fasteners are available?

You should select whichever fastener is most appropriate for your purpose. You can choose a different fastener for each tag so you are free to mix and match.

Stainless Steel Ball-Chains

For wearing on your neck, you should opt for the traditional military style 30" inch long chain and the 4" short chain which attaches your second tag to the long chain. If a chain is too long for your liking, you can easily shorten it using wire cutters.

Our military grade stainless-steel chains are designed to last a lifetime!

Alternatively you could consider selecting 2 neck chains...keep 1 tag for yourself and give the other to a friend!

To open a ball chain connector, simply pinch the chains on both sides of the connector between your thumb and forefinger as in this photo. Then just bring your fingers together and the balls will easily snap out.

Solid Brass Ball-Chains

Similar to above except made of solid brass. These are a good match for our brass dogtags.

Black Epoxy Coated Ball-Chains

Our 30" and 4" black ball-chains are made of stainless steel and coated with a tough black epoxy. These will not rust out and are a good match for our black dogtags.

Snap Hook

Snap-hooks are ideal for attaching the dogtags to items which require them to be easily removed. Works great for zipper-pulls!

• Nickle-plated or brass plated steel
• Length: 1"
• Diameter of large curve: 3/8"
• Diameter of small curve: 1/4"

S-Hook

S-hooks are ideal for attaching the tag to a pet collar as they are a robust way for affixing the tag. A pair of pliers is required to crimp the ends of the S-hook thereby closing the loops.

• Nickle-plated steel
• Length: 3/4" Length (Top of S to bottom of S)
• Diameter of wire: .072"

Split Key Ring

Split Key rings are ideal for using your tags as a keychain or for attaching to a pet collar.

We recommend putting your email address on your keychain tags as this is the safest and easiest way for a stranger to contact you if your keys are ever lost.

If you have a small pet with a collar 3/8 inch or less in width, use a ring and put it onto the collar as follows: First, put the ring on the tag. Next, thread the collar THROUGH the ring instead of attaching the ring onto the collar hardware. This method eliminates the "dangling" look, which is particularly obnoxious on small pets. As well, the tag will face more directly outward. On larger pets, this method isn't going to apply and the tag attachment (S-hook or Keyring) method should be a matter of personal preference.

• Nickle-plated or brass-plated steel
• Outer Diameter: 1"

Braided wire with screw-lock

Choose the tough braided wire with screw-lock to attach the tag to luggage or other items.

• Stainless steel
• Length: 6"

What are silencers for?

Silencers are the elastic pieces of silicone rubber that fit around the edge of your dogtags. Their military purpose is to prevent the tags from "clinking" together thereby limiting noise in the field, but they also look pretty cool!

We offer a wide choice of colours and patterns to suit your individual preference, and you can preview what they will look on your tags with the tag previewer!. Sometimes the silencer may cover a tiny portion of the text on your tag, however it can usually be manipulated so that all of the text is visible.

Installing your silencers:

1. Slip the dog tag into the inner channel of the silencer.
2. Line up the hole in the dog tag with the small hole in the silencer.
3. Stretch the silencer around the tag.

Please note that the silicone rubber will eventually wear down over time and may tear, this is especially likely when used with pet tags as they are exposed to much more friction.

What can I put on my Dogtags?

You can have any text you want stamped on the dog tags...it's entirely up to you and it will not be censored by us. Many choose to have their tags stamped in various miltary styles with last name, first name, social security number, blood type, and religion. Need some ideas? Check out our example

What characters are allowed on my tag?

The font is fixed and looks the same as in the tag previewer. For most styles the first and fifth line can have 14 characters and the 3 middle lines can have 15 characters in order to accomodate a silencer without covering any of the letters. The Mini dogtag can have 11 characters on each of the 3 rows. The following characters for emboss type are allowed:

• UPPERCASE Letters: A thru Z
• Numbers: 0 thru 9
• Special Characters:
  • - (minus sign)
  • + (plus sign)
  • = (equal sign)
  • & (Ampersand)
  • ' (Single Quote)
  • . (Period)
  • , (Comma)
  • : (Colon)
  • * (Asterisk)
  • ? (Question Mark)
  • $ (Dollar Sign)
  • ! (Exclamation Mark)
  • @ (at sign - for email addresses)
  • ( (left parenthesis)
  • ) (right parenthesis)
  • / (Forward Slash)
  • \ (Back Slash)
  •   (Space)
• Special Symbols:
  • ★ (military star)
  • ✝ (crucifix)
  • ♥ (heart)

Our extensive selection of special characters is NOT offered at most other dogtag manufacturers! The @ sign allows you to put an email address on your dogtags, the brackets can be used to make smileys :-). The star, cross and heart symbols were custom made and are not available anywhere else! Use your imagination!

Are these real military dog tags?

Yes - these are the real thing - shiny stainless steel, rolled edge, embossed using the same machinery and font for current United States military spec dog tags.

We also engrave Canadian Forces military style dogtags which are designed to be broken in two, see here for the official specifications.

Why are two tags issued in each set? Can I order only one?

For traditional military purposes, two dog tags are issued to each soldier. In the unfortunate case that he is killed in combat, one tag would stay with the body (sometimes attached to the toe using the short chain) and the other tag would go with a scout and eventually to the next of kin.

To keep things simple, we only sell our tags in sets of two, and as you can put different text on each tag, we're sure you can find a use for both of them!

How do you make your dogtags?

We purchase the blank tags from the same manufacturer who supplies the United States military. The embossing data which you submit online is fed directly into our ultra-high precision computer controlled embossing machine, avoiding the possibility of human input error. Watch a movie of it in action!

Are dogtags suitable for small children?

As the tag sets contain small parts, they pose a choking hazard and as such are NOT suitable for small children, infants, or toddlers. However they do make great souvenirs for the birth of military babies!

Do you offer a product guarantee, warranty or refunds?

Where do you ship to?

If you opt for this then we will send your package to their address in the USA via regular postal service after which they will forward your package directly to you using a reliable courier in your own country.

What are my shipping options?

All shipping rates are dependent upon the total weight of your order. Most orders consisting of 3 or less dogtag sets qualify for our minimum shipping rate of only $3.

In the event that it takes 5 business days please be aware that it may overlap onto a weekend when postal delivery service may not be available.

We are pleased to serve the men and women of the armed forces and shipping via APO/FPO is not a problem however your order will likely take a few weeks to arrive. The rate for shipping to the APO/FPO system is the same as for the rest of the USA. Be sure to inquire about our military discount!

Can I use the images I create with the Dogtag Generator on my website?

You are free to use the dogtag images you create with the Dogtag Generator for non-commercial purposes without having to give credit back to us. If you would like to use the image for commercial purposes, please let us know first. In most cases, as long as you will not be using the images on a competing dogtag retailer website, we would be pleased for you to use the images on your site (especially if it includes a link back to us :-).

Can I let my gift recipient customize his dogtags?

Dogtags make great low-cost gifts, but what if you want to let your gift recipient customize his dogtags himself? We can provide printable gift certificates so that you can pay now and present it as a gift but still let him create and order his own dogtags at a later date.

What is your privacy policy?

If paying via credit card or paypal, all of your payment and dogtag information is stored securely on PayPal's servers, it is never provided to us directly meaning that WE NEVER KNOW YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER ! PayPal only provides us with your address to facilitate shipping.

After your order is shipped we retain your shipping address information in case your package needs to be resent, however we NEVER provide or sell this information to a 3rd party (other than the post office).

The information you put on your dogtags is kept fully confidential and passes straight from your order file on our computer to the automated embossing machine. Although our staff may discretely review your dogtags to ensure accuracy and quality control, our policy of non-censorship ensures that whatever you put remains none of our business!
