Panel tag and legend engraving
Engraving turns a schedule row into a physical identifier. We engrave panel IDs, device names, valve numbers and legends exactly as supplied. The marking method is chosen for the aluminum, stainless, brass, phenolic, acrylic or laminate the tag is specified in.

What do you need to send to have electrical panel tags engraved?
Send a schedule with one row per distinct legend: the tag ID, each line of text, the quantity, the finished size and the attachment. Panel Tag Co engraves the text as typed, so export it from the approved drawing or asset record. Mark the drawing revision on the file so the proof can be traced back to it.
Why do similar identifiers need a text-only schedule?
A facilities electrician orders Custom Electrical Panel Tags for a ground floor electrical room. The list includes LP-02 and LP-20, DP-1A and DP-1a, and a panel whose ID ends in the letter O beside one that ends in zero. In a spreadsheet with automatic formatting, 07 becomes 7 and a part number turns into a date. He sets every column to text before pasting from the panel schedule, then adds a quantity column kept apart from the legend columns. Each tag gets three lines: panel ID, description, location. On the proof he reads the IDs aloud to a second person holding the drawing, which is how the O and the zero get caught.

Custom Electrical Panel Tags
Provide exact dimensions and the approved text for each tag. Keep voltage, circuit and safety wording tied to the responsible team's records, and distinguish a general identification tag from any regulated warning label.
The details to personalize: panel id, description, location. The product page lets you enter them and carry the design into your quote request.
How does a legend travel from schedule to plate?
01
Export the legends, do not retype
Pull the legends from the panel schedule or asset register as a file. Retyping forty breaker descriptions invites the one transposed digit that nobody notices until the cover is on.
02
Separate legend text from numbers
Keep legend text, quantity and dimensions in separate columns. A cell reading 2 x MCC-3 forces someone to guess which part is engraved. One column, one meaning.
03
Verify the proof by tag ID
The proof repeats each legend next to its tag ID. Check it against the drawing revision named on your file, row by row, and have the responsible engineer sign the mapping.

Questions about panel tag and legend engraving
What do you need to send to have electrical panel tags engraved?
Send a schedule with one row per distinct legend: the tag ID, each line of text, the quantity, the finished size and the attachment. Panel Tag Co engraves the text as typed, so export it from the approved drawing or asset record. Mark the drawing revision on the file so the proof can be traced back to it.
Will lowercase letters and symbols be engraved as typed?
Yes. Case, hyphens, slashes, periods and spaces are reproduced exactly, because they can distinguish one device from another. If your site standard is all capitals, apply it in the schedule before sending. We do not normalize text, since a silent correction on a tag is still a change to your record.
Can you engrave voltage or hazard wording on a tag?
Panel Tag Co engraves the voltage or hazard wording you supply and approve. A general identification tag is different from a regulated warning label, which has its own specification for text, color and symbol. Keep the two on separate rows, state the specification for the warning label and have your responsible person approve it.
What does engraving a second face or extra lines cost?
More marking takes more machine time, so a second face, a fourth line or a very small letter height can change the unit cost. The effect depends on the tag size and material. Panel Tag Co shows it in the written quote for your schedule instead of applying a flat rule.
