Versatile Slide-In Tags
 
When Almetek innovated the original E-Z Tags® concept in the 1970s, it took the identification of assets to a new dimension. Used originally for pole identification by telecommunications, railroads and utilities, the system found a wider application in transportation, warehousing and general industrial marketplaces. Warranted for 10 to 40 years, E-Z Tags are an exceptional value.
Wider application is gained from our E-Z Tags® Ultima™ Engraved finish. Warranted for 30 years, they're the ultimate in slide-in identification, but may also be customized any size, any legend (including logos) and consecutive numbering.
