A Proud American Story

In 2008, Commemorative Dog Tags was purchased from a retired U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sergeant who had built a small engraving and vinyl graphics business. What began as a trailer-based workshop became the foundation of something lasting — a vision to keep craftsmanship alive and to bring meaningful products to everyone.

From those early days, the focus quickly became clear — to create high-quality, personalized dog tags that carry real meaning. What started with traditional military designs has since expanded to honor all who serve — Firefighters, Police, Paramedics, and EMTs — as well as custom designs for anyone who wants to wear or give something made with pride and purpose. We not just for Military and First Responders.

We believe in creative freedom — no corporate rules, no "you can't do that." As we say here: "We never got in the box, so we always think outside the box." We never say no. Never say never. We try new ideas, accept new challenges, and treat every project like it's the most important one we've ever done.

What Makes Us Different

We're a small, independent engraving studio — with a lot of passion. Our goal has always been simple: to go beyond expectations and raise the standard for what a dog tag or keepsake can be. We don't sell cheap promotional products; we offer pieces made to be felt, remembered, and passed down.

Every tag we make is deeply engraved — not lightly marked. When you run your fingers across the metal, you'll feel the depth, the craftsmanship, and the emotion behind each message. That's what sets us apart. That's what we mean when we say, "A Message in Metal. A Lifetime of Memories."

Our Mission

Our goal is to offer products that truly mean something — items to be worn with pride, displayed with honor, and cherished for years. We work hard to keep our prices fair, even when others raise theirs, because honoring service should always be accessible. Each tag we make carries a story — one of service, pride, remembrance, or love — and that's something worth preserving.

From our small workshop in Port Orange, Florida, we continue a proud tradition of personal service, integrity, and American craftsmanship. Whether it's a single custom order or a small run for a department or unit, we approach every piece with the same promise:

"Every Tag is Special. Every Tag has a Story."
