Thread: Aluminium Dog Tag Blanks?

I think I should have changed the heading from dog tag blanks to door hangers, but what the heck!

Anyway, my efforts at the Drought Refief Craft Show did not go un noticed with this picture appearing in the Southern Highland News last Wednesday.

Cheers,

Well done

By now you've either found a source for your dog tags or its too late.........

If not try one of the sheet metal shops - one with a CNC punch will throw out hundreds in aluminium or stainless. Holes 15 --> 30mm diameter are common for connectors in electronics manufacturing. They'd probably give them to you for a few dollars "morning tea money". You'll still need to drill the mounting hole.

Thanks rob_SOR for the suggestion, but as you will notice earlier in the thread I went away from dog tags and made door hangers for the charity craft day I got roped into. They went very well and I am still getting orders about 3 weeks later!!

Cheers,

Some time ago I was searching for a supplier of blanks for dog tags and for the life of me I could not find a supplier in Australia and the one supplier I found in the States wanted a minimum order of $500.00 if my memory serves me correct.

For some unknown reason I searched again today and found this company ... O'Brien Engineering, Nameplate Division. They are in Meadowbank in Sydney and supply everything that you may need for engraving. All sorts of name tags, pet tags, sheets of engraving plastic, aluminium, brass you name it! If you need anything along those lines, look them up ...
