By Mark Bailey


Tags, nameplates, identification tags are some of the common names given to marketing essentials. However, the fact remains that there is no other thing that can best perform the role that these essentials do. They come in two types namely metal name tags and plastic. Both have been used for various kinds of reasons since both have advantages and disadvantages alike. In order to make an informed decision, it is important that you consider both these advantages and disadvantages.

Identification, naming of machines, push buttons, you name it is among the roles of these essentials. Plastic is versatile and has a variety of uses. They possess a number of advantages such as being available in any size or shape. According to the specifications of a client, plastic tags may be tailor made to take any size or shape. Apart from this, they come in an assortment of colors, and therefore it is up to the client to decide on what they want.

Metal is also versatile and that is why it is used in a number of industries such as in military, commercial, or industrial fields. One of the advantages that metals have over plastic ones is that they are durable. Plastic has been known to be non-resistant to pressure, and thus prone to easily break. However, this is not the same case of its counterpart and instead known to last for longer periods of time gong up to years.

It can be made to meet all your specifications. This means that they can be cast into any size or shape depending on what you wish for. Additionally, they are also available in a variety of materials such as aluminum, metal photo as well as stainless steel. These types of materials are non-corrosive; thus, ensuring durability.

There are also assortments of ways that can be used to do the engraving. For one, there is laser engraving where a laser beam is used to engrave whatever it is you wish to be written. There is also another method that uses chemical to make markings on the tag. With these two methods, you need not to worry about the marking wearing off because they make sure you get an engraving that is permanent.

The other advantage that metal has over plastic is that is it may withstand different conditions. This means that it can withstand all kinds of conditions be it extremely low temperatures or high temperatures. The cost incurred by choosing this type is a little bit higher than that of plastic. However, it should be noted that it is totally a worth investment.

Before you can make that decision on what way to go, there are a couple of things that need consideration. For one, do not overspend, but rather go for an option you can afford without hurting your finances. Another thing, consider the environment around you. This will help you go for an option that can withstand your kind of environment. Purpose or application comes in as the last thing to factor in.

The choice can be a difficult one to make, especially seeing that both types serve the same purpose. However, with the above factors in mind you are sure to make the right selection.
