Durable Brass Tags for Custom Identification

C.H. Hanson traditional brass tags provide good wear resistance for long-lasting identification. Brass is a non-ferrous metal, making these tags suitable for applications where non-sparking identification is needed.

Blank brass tags are commonly used in plumbing and electrical applications, as well as for valve and pipe identification, tool and equipment tracking, and general asset identification. The traditional brass finish also provides a distinctive appearance that is easy to see and develops a natural patina over time.

Create Your Own Identification

Unlike pre-numbered tags, blank brass tags allow you to add the information you need for your specific application. Use them to mark cold water, hot water, plumbing, gas and chilled water return equipment, or create your own identification system for tools, machinery, valves and other assets.

How to Mark Blank Brass Tags

Blank brass tags can be marked after purchase using a metal stamping press and appropriate metal stamping dies or stamps. Stamping permanently impresses characters into the brass surface, creating durable identification that can withstand handling and wear.

For smaller quantities or field identification, brass tags can also be marked using appropriate metal stamps and a hammer. Place the tag on a solid, flat surface and strike the stamp squarely to create the desired letter or number.

For applications requiring machine-readable information, brass tags may also be compatible with certain laser marking processes, depending on the equipment and desired result.

Non-Sparking Identification for Industrial Applications

Because brass is non-ferrous, blank brass tags are suitable where non-sparking identification is required. This makes them useful in certain industrial environments, including applications where spark-producing materials may present a concern.

Brass tags can be used in controlled indoor environments as well as outdoors.
