One of NapTags specialties is custom created office nameplates. We can create individualized nameplates in a variety of materials including plastic, brass, aluminum or stainless steel. This is an example of a nameplate using sublimation on special ordered distressed brushed aluminum. Mounting pins or peel-and-stick backers are available for hanging.

Paisleys and Ladybugs came to us to create a custom shaped sign. A full color design on white aluminum was the best choice of material because their logo was so colorful. We sublimated (a heat process that actually transfers the design permanently onto the metal) and laser cut the shape and holes. The customer will hang custom made jewelry from the holes. Sublimation is a great choice! We have a creative team on staff to help you design your custom sublimation art to fit your needs exactly.

This tag we designed to be bent at an angle, then zip tied around a water pipe. It is 2″ by 2″ and made from 304 stainless steel with the ID number laser engraved into it. Our laser engraving onto metal is permanent, we do not use a spray, the laser directly marks the bare metal.

We got a fun project today, we got to make some dashboard parts for a custom airplane manufacturer (WACO Classic Aircraft Corp.) based locally here out of Battle Creek, MI. These tags were a few different shapes and sizes all made from black anodized aluminum. We made a few different pieces for the different models of airplanes each custom made with the company’s name engraved into the aluminum dashboard.

Today we got another fun project. A company came to us wanting a blue anodized aluminum tag in the shape of Texas with engraving on both sides and a keyring hole. Our laser can cut finely detailed parts, this tag is 1″ x 1″. The laser engraving removes the blue anodized coating to reveal the aluminum below. Design possibilities are endless with the variety of materials and detail options available from NapTags.com.

Laser precision allows even the most detailed cuts on custom tags!
