What materials are used in the pet tags?

Our pet tags are made from several materials, each offering different benefits for durability, appearance and comfort.

Stainless steel

Highly durable and resistant to rust, tarnish and fading. Stainless-steel tags are an excellent choice for active pets and regular exposure to water because they retain their clarity and integrity over time. Shop stainless-steel pet tags.

Aluminium

Lightweight and available in many colours, aluminium is popular for smaller pets. Anodised aluminium is harder and more durable than plain aluminium, although it is still less robust than stainless steel. Shop aluminium pet tags.

Brass

Brass has a classic look and is sturdy, but it is a softer metal that can tarnish and may need occasional polishing. It is less suitable for pets that are frequently exposed to water. Shop brass pet tags.

Zinc alloy and brass designs

Design and glitter tags often use zinc alloy, brass or a blend of metals, with an epoxy coating on the front for added durability and style. Shop design and enamel pet tags.

Special features and attachments

Some tags include decorative crystals or a QR code protected by epoxy for digital identification. Strong steel or brass split rings help keep the tag securely attached to the collar.
