Why Choose Brass Blank Tags?

Brass blank tags are a popular choice when appearance matters just as much as function. Known for their classic gold-like finish, brass tags are commonly used for nameplates, valve tags, and decorative applications. They offer a balance of durability and workability, making them suitable for stamping, engraving, and etching. Over time, brass will naturally develop a patina, giving it an aged look that many customers prefer.

Brass is available in Alloy 260 (70/30) with multiple thickness and temper options to match your application. The 1/2 hard temper provides added strength and durability, while the dead soft temper allows for easier stamping and forming.

Thickness options include:
.036″ – Alloy 260 70/30 – 1/2 hard temper
.040″ – Alloy 260 70/30 – 1/2 hard temper
.064″ – Alloy 260 70/30 – dead soft temper

Brass vs. Other Materials

Brass offers a more traditional look, but depending on your application, other materials may be a better fit. Stainless steel provides maximum durability for harsh environments. Aluminum is a more cost-effective, easy-to-mark option for general use. Plastic tags are a great option when something more flexible than metal is needed.
