Dog Tags
- What are the specs of your Dog Tags?
-
We have the largest selection of dogtag styles, materials and colors to choose from, most of them based on military specifications with rolled edges and either modern Embossed raised lettering, or vintage WWII style Debossed lettering.
Both dogtags in a set must be of the same style.
See complete details and specifications for each type of tag and plate.
- What's the difference between Embossed and Debossed?
-
See our in-depth blog post on Five Ways to Stamp Your Dog Tags to learn about the available customization methods we offer.
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. These can be harder to read than embossed tags.
This was the most common type issued during 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 accuracy and uniformity. (Most other suppliers use WWII era human operated Addressograph machines).
Braille Characters

- Will your dogtags match my originals?
-
We always want our customers, especially veterans, to get the tags that they want. There are many ways to set up and make tags and we try to offer clear choices to our customers so they can pick what they want, such as our vast array of era and branch specific templates.
We want you to get tags that are as close to your original issue tags as possible, bearing in mind that we can never truly replace your original tags and what they mean to you and your service.
From WW2 onwards the US military has issued tens of millions of dog tags and there is a lot of variety in them. Over the years the types and compositions of metal used has changed (i.e. monel, brass, and stainless steel), the thickness of the tags have changed, the shape of the tags have changed, the machines used to make them have changed, the fonts used have changed, the regulations have changed, and on top of that how the individual operators make the tags varies a lot. These differences can persist for decades so that tags issued at the same time can look and be different from each other.
We offer more customization features for our tags than any other company to accommodate for many of these differences. For example you can select your dogtag shape, notch, orientation, font style, font spacing, historical chains, historical silencers, etc. We also are always making improvements to our website and our products based on both research and customer feedback.
We strive to make our replica tags look authentic to the period and branch, however if you select DEBOSSED tags (WWII through Vietnam era) please note that these tags are by design more difficult to read. This type of text was intended for machines (in WW2) to make carbon copies of the tag's information and readability by our eyes was a lesser concern.
Some veterans, or their family members, will choose to use modern military embossed (raised) lettering on their tags. It is less authentic to the original issue however they are much easier to read. Likewise some tags were issued on machines that had different font types including embossed fonts. The machines that were used to make dog tags were standard business machines in use by 1000s of companies and organizations across the US and around the world. It was not uncommon for a military base or office to end up getting a machine with different font set from the standard military ones. Depending on when and where your original issue tags were made the machine could have a different font set installed.
When looking at original tags from the 40s, 50s, 60s etc. over the years the DEBOSS indents may have filled up a bit with grease, grime, dirt etc. from the environment. Rubbing in black shoe polish mimics this naturally occurring darkening of the letters with the added benefit of making them easier to read.
You can read review feedback from our many satisified military and veteran customers who have ordered dogtags for active use or as a sentimental memorbilia.

- What Chain sizes and fasteners are available?
-
We have the largest selection of Dog Tag Chains and fasteners in many materials, styles and colors to choose from, based on military specifications where required.
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. All of our ballchains are made in the USA
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 made in the USA and 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!
See complete details and specifications for each type of chain and fastener.
- What are silencers for?
-
Silencers are the elastic rings that fit around the edge of your dogtags. Their military purpose is to act as a "bumper" 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 colors 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:
- Slip the dog tag into the inner channel of the silencer.
- Line up the hole in the dog tag with the small hole in the silencer.
- Stretch the silencer around the tag.
We offer both Silicone and Latex Rubber silencers depending on your requirements. We also offer mini silencers for our mini dogtags!
Silicone Silencers
Silicone rubber is highly inert and does not react with most chemicals, is resistant to heat, and is hypoallergenic so it won't cause skin rashes.
Note that the silicone rubber will eventually wear down over time and may tear, this is especially likely when used with pets like dogs as they are exposed to much more friction due to pet's activities. Furthermore, your pet may try to chew off the silencer and eat it which may be a health hazard. We recommend that you not select a silencer if this to be used on a pet, or instead choose our more durable Latex Rubber Silencers.
Organic Latex Rubber Silencers
Organic latex rubber is stronger than silicone but not as stretchy. It will last longer and won't come off the dogtag as easily, but is also more difficult to put on. If you have an allergy to latex rubber DO NOT order these as it may cause a skin rash. These work better for pets since they are much more durable.
- Why do some dogtags not come with silencers?
-
Silencers are included for free with our mil-spec and most standard shaped dogtags, however they are not included in the following situations:
- Non Standard shape or size... because silencers are only available in one size for standard shaped dogtags. But we do offer a mini black silencer for our mini dogtags!
- Notched dogtags... because notched dogtags are traditionally not worn with silencers. A silencer would cover the notch, thus defeating the aesthetic purpose of a notched tag.
- 2-Hole dogtags... because a silencer would cover one of the holes, thus defeating the purpose of a 2 hole dogtag.
- Shifted Text dogtags... because the text is shifted to the left (to fit more of it) a silencer would completely cover some of the letters.
Nevertheless, if you still require a silencer for one of these forementioned tags, you may still purchase is separately from the silencer accessories page (it is not included in the cost of the dogtag set).
- 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 military styles with last name, first name, social security number, blood type, and religion.
See our blog post on What Numbers go on Military Dog Tags.
- What characters are allowed on my tag?
-
The font is fixed and looks the same as in the tag previewer. The following characters for EMBOSS type are allowed (other fonts like DEBOSS and EMBOSS LARGE have a smaller set of characters):
Character Description A…Z UPPERCASE Alphabet Letters 0…9 Numbers Ø Slashed 0 _ Underscore / UnderBar ¯ Upperscore / Overline / Overbar / Macron - Minus / Dash + Plus = Equal % Percent & Ampersand " Double Quote / Seconds ' Single Quote / Minutes ° Degree • Bullet . Period , Comma : Colon - useful for smileys :-) ; Semicolon - useful for smileys ;-) * Asterisk # Hash / Hashtag / Pound / Octothorp ? Question Mark $ Dollar ! Exclamation Mark ( Open Parenthesis ) Close Parenthesis / Forward Slash \ Back Slash Space @ at sign @ - For email addresses © Copyright Symbol ® Trademark Symbol ™ Registered Trademark Symbol ✝ Crucifix (represents Christianity) ✡ Star of David (represents Judaism) ♡ Heart ☆ Military Star (represents Army) ⌵ Chevron (for military ranks) ⋱ Left Wing (ideal with symbol in between 2 wings) ⋰ Right Wing (ideal with symbol in between 2 wings) 💎 Diamond (looks like an Airborne Parachute) ⚓ Anchor (represents Navy, Marines, & Coast Guard) 🐾 Paw print (for pet tags) 🍁 Canadian Maple leaf
The BRAILLE Font ⠿ option allows for All 64 six-cell BRAILLE characters. These can also be combined with the regular EMBOSS characters above when on a separate row.
Extensive selection of special characters
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 :-) and the ©,®™ symbols allows you to copyright unique phrases and trademark designs on your dogtags! The star ☆, cross ✝, Star of David ✡, heart ♡, anchor ⚓, diamond (parachute) 💎, paw print 🐾, and maple leaf symbols are custom made and are not available anywhere else!
If there is a special character that you need that you don't see here, ask us about our laser engraving options where we can make and character.

- Can I sequentially serialize my Dog Tags?
-
Are you making Dog Tags for crab-traps, a membership system, or industrial infrastructure tagging? Do you need to be able to automatically add a sequential number to each of your tags? Try our Serialization option and save yourself the hassle of manually updating each tag in your set!
- How can I fit more characters on my Dogtag?
-
Our various dogtag styles allow for different number of CPL (characters per line) depending on the size, shape, and special characteristics of the dogtag.
You can adjust the characters-per-line in two ways, using both can allow you to squeeze in up to 3 extra characters per standard sized dogtag:
- Start Position
This setting shifts the first letter closer to the edge of the dogtag. Although it allows for one extra character to be squeezed in, it is at the expense of it being partially covered by a silencer if used.
- Character Density
This is the spacing between each character on a line measured in characters per inch (CPI). The standard setting of 10 CPI makes the tag easier to read. The higher density setting of 11 CPI allows you to squeeze in up to 2 more characters, but in some cases the letters are so close together it may not look as nice as 10CPI.
STANDARD Start Position at 10 CPI
Our STANDARD format dogtags consist of 5 lines with the following number of characters per line:
- 14
- 15
- 15
- 15
- 14
This allows for a silencer to be installed on a dogtag without covering any of your text so that it is readable. This is our default format and we recommend using it unless you absolutely need more space.
SHIFTED Start Position at 10 CPI
Choosing the SHIFTED start position option will give you one more character per line. In order to make space for one more character the entire line is shifted a few millimeters left towards the hole, however this is at the expense of edge characters being covered up and partially or completely hidden by the silencer (as per the image shown here):
- 15
- 16
- 16
- 16
- 15
In this case we recommend that you do not order a silencer since it would obscure some characters on your dogtag.
STANDARD Start Position at 11 CPI
With a STANDARD start position and high density 11 characters-per-inch you gain up to 2 characters per line such that there are 5 lines with the following number of characters:
- 16
- 17
- 17
- 17
- 16
This allows for a silencer to be installed on a dogtag without covering any of your text so that it is visible. However at the higher density 11 CPI some of the characters may be touching and it will be slightly harder to read.
SHIFTED Start Position at 11 CPI
Choosing the SHIFTED start position at high density 11 CPI will give you up to 3 more characters per line, the maximum allowed. In order to make space for one more character the entire line is shifted a few millimeters left towards the hole, however this is at the expense of edge characters being covered up and partially or completely hidden by the silencer (as per the image shown here). At 11 CPI some letters may be touching making it a bit harder to read.
- 17
- 18
- 18
- 18
- 17
In this case we recommend that you do not order a silencer since it would obscure some characters on your dogtag.
- Start Position
- Do you make BRAILLE dogtags?
-
Yes - We can make your custom BRAILLE dogtags and signs for FAR less than a typical braille sign manufacturer. Choose from a selection of different sized dogtags, plaques, and materials to make your own custom braille tag!
Unlike other braille dogtags available on the web, ours are machine made to ensure accuracy and uniformity. Made of 304 stainless steel they won't wear down as quickly as plastic.
Using our pre-assigned BRAILLE keypad buttons you can quickly create basic braille letters, numbers and punctuation. More advanced users can use our custom braille-cell creator to make any 6 dot combination of Grade 1, Grade 2, or any Braille contraction that you require including all of the following dot combinations:
⠁ ⠂ ⠃ ⠄ ⠅ ⠆ ⠇ ⠈ ⠉ ⠊ ⠋ ⠌ ⠍ ⠎ ⠏ ⠐ ⠑ ⠒ ⠓ ⠔ ⠕ ⠖ ⠗ ⠘ ⠙ ⠚ ⠛ ⠜ ⠝ ⠞ ⠟ ⠠ ⠡ ⠢ ⠣ ⠤ ⠥ ⠦ ⠧ ⠨ ⠩ ⠪ ⠫ ⠬ ⠭ ⠮ ⠯ ⠰ ⠱ ⠲ ⠳ ⠴ ⠵ ⠶ ⠷ ⠸ ⠹ ⠺ ⠻ ⠼ ⠽ ⠾ ⠿ See some example Braille dogtags here.
What is Braille?
Braille is a system that enables blind and visually impaired people to read and write through touch. A cell is made up of six dots that fit under the fingertips, arranged in two columns of three dots each. Each cell represents a letter, a word, a combination of letters, a numeral or a punctuation mark. See Braille:Deciphering the Code or a basic Braille specification guide from BrailleAuthority.org. - 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!
- Do you offer Gold Plating or other Add-on Services?
-
We offer multiple add-on services to further enhance your Dog Tags after we customize them with personalized text. You can indeed perform some of these yourself, but we still offer them as a convenience:
- Pre-Assembly
Make life easier by having both of your Dog Tags pre-assembled with silencers and chains, ready to wear. Most people can easily assemble it themselves. This service is useful for people with arthritis or limited hand dexterity.
- Gold Plating
Looking to add a little something extra to your Dog Tags to make them stand out? With our Gold Electroplating service we can add a thin layer of 24K Gold to any of our stainless steel Dog Tags!
- Deboss Darkening
Sometimes the letters on vintage debossed Dog Tags (from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, etc) would darken over time as the result of an accumulation of dirt and grime. This effect can be easily replicated on newly made tags using black shoe polish
- Image Engraving
Do you need a picture or custom logo on a Dog Tag? Do you require a font or characters that are not available on our regular embossed Dog Tags? We can Laser Engrave your custom black & white artwork anywhere on a tag, even as background image which you can then emboss over top with your text!
- Ageing of Tags
Older vintage tags are sometimes tarnished and have a darkened "battle-worn" look to them. One way to achieve this finish is to order our high-carbon Rust Prone tags. However, our Stainless steel tags can also be aged using the coffee-ground method.
- Pre-Assembly
- 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!

Affiliate Dogtags
Would members of your team, organization, company or website would be interested in dogtags that promote your cause? If so, we can setup dogtag promo words for your group so that you pass savings along directly to your members!
To get the discount, all your members would have to do is to make sure that they put your promo words on their dogtags. For example, if you group name is PAINTBALL WARRIORS, your members would simply input this phrase on one of the dogtags and the discount would be applied automatically.
To make things even easier for your members, you can first create a dogtag template on our order page and then click the button. This will generate the link code for your own website so that your members can use your template as a starting point!
Please contact us if you would like to request your own dogtag keyword discount code.
