Custom Test Tags Explained

Customised Test Tags are tags and labels that can be modified to include specific information and design features of your choice.

The most common features to include on custom test tags are a company logo, brand colours, contact information and test details. They perform the same function as the standard test tags, but with the added benefits of avoiding writing details out by hand and increased brand exposure.

What are the Benefits of Custom Test Tags?

Custom Test Tags Explained

  • Save Time: Using tags that have your custom information pre-printed will save you a lot of time during the test and tag process compared to standard handwritten tags. You can include a whole range of different printed information on your tags (i.e. company name, contact details, item numbers, re-test dates, etc.) - the choice is yours. 
  • Test More Items: If you have high volumes of testing to complete, having tags with pre-printed information will allow you to move through the testing process much quicker and ultimately test more items, which is a great advantage. Customising test tags will also free up more time for you to complete other parts of the testing process. 
  • Cost Effective: Custom tags are also a very cost-effective solution - buying custom tags in bulk is typically cheaper than standard test tags, making your choice a no-brainer. However, when you purchase a minimum number of custom tags, their cost will be higher than standard tags.

How Can I Customise a Tag?

There are many different options to choose from when creating a custom test tag.

We find the most popular design features to include are:

  • Logo and Custom Colours: Adding these branding elements is the best way to ensure your tag stands out. These features are an excellent way to increase brand exposure and repeat business. 
  • QR and Barcodes: Including a QR or Barcode can bring your tag to life. You can use these codes to track the items you have tested or direct your clients to other media or a website.
  • Variable Data: Adding custom text (like a business name, name of the person who completed the testing and contact details) makes it really easy for your current clients to contact you for re-testing. Overall, this will increase your chances of gaining repeat business compared to standard tags.

How to Customise a Test Tag?

You can also choose the size, shape and material of your tags. How you want your tag to look is entirely up to you, but we do offer three standard options.

  • All-Purpose Light Duty Tags are ideal for high volumes of indoor use. The most economical tag solution, they are great for office environments and low-traffic areas.
  • Heavy-Duty Self-Laminating Tags are our most popular option. They are great all-rounder tags suited for indoor and outdoor use and include a self-laminating flap to protect your information. 
  • Industrial Strength Tags are our most durable solution. These tags are extra-long wearing and best suited to outdoor use, particularly in harsh environments, like construction or mining sites.

All our test tags are produced with the latest digital printing technology and heavy-duty materials, so you can be sure your tags will always be eye-catching and professional.
