In researching these systems on the Internet, it's really quite amazing how much technology goes into the marking process. And if you're a laser nerd like me, it's great to show your friends and family how these things work in an actual "commercial" setting-might make you seem less nerdy! Check out these YouTube videos for an idea of how the systems work (direct links to the videos are and ).Īnyway, the videos are not nearly as exciting as going to the store and watching the sparks fly! If you haven't used one of these machines, I would definitely recommend giving it a try. The metal itself from which the tags were made has worn quite a bit, but the laser-engraved printing is still as crisp and readable as ever-including the fine print on the back side (see the heart-shaped tag on my malamute Zuni in the photo above). I wonder how many commercial systems exist now?Īnyway, to the heart of the blog: I am impressed by the longevity of my laser-engraved pet ID tags that are now about four years old. I only know from a quick Google search that Epilog Laser Systems sold a record 563 laser systems to TagWorks back in 2009 for pet ID tag systems specifically for PetSmart. Unfortunately, the title is misleading because the pet ID tags I had made for my two dogs back in 2009 were from PetSmart, not Petco, and I wasn't able to ascertain from an online search whether Petco has laser-engraving or laser marking systems in its stores or not (perhaps a more informed reader can help me out here). When I set out to write this blog on laser-engraved pet identification (ID) tags, I wanted to come up with a catchy title so readers would sort of infer what the blog was about and so, "borrowed" this slogan. Most everyone with a pet knows the slogan "Petco: where the pets go".
