Spacing

Sometimes, it is hard to see on the computer screen exactly how the text will look when the dog tags are stamped. 5 blank spaces between elements can be shown on the screen as 1 space and sometimes as multiple spaces.

If you select: “Exact number of spaces” this means if you put 5 blank spaces in the text after let’s say after a name, then we will put 5 spaces on the dog tags despite how it appears on your screen.

If you select: “Stamp text according to the format for the era” we are assuming you do not have an original dog tag and that we will format the text appropriate to the time period.

If you have an original dog tag, you can send it to us and we will figure out the spacing. See options below for uploading a picture.

Tag Configuration

Silencer Color

What is darkened text?

Indent text, because it is stamped downward, has a tendency, over time, to gather dirt within the letters. This makes the letters easier to read. If you would like, we can add black color to the letters for an additional $5.00 USD.

See Text Alignment Options

Centered text is not military spec. Here is an example of each alignment:

Emboss vs Indent Text Types

Emboss–Newer Style (Raised lettering). Adopted by the US military in the 1980s. Approximately 50% of all US military bases use Emboss–it depends on what equipment is available at each base.

Indent–Vintage Style (Sunken lettering). Indent was the only type used during WWII, the Korean War, and The Vietnam War.
