Personalized Dog Tag Necklace*
Whether it's for your groomsman, brother or a close friend, this stylish, double dog tag necklace makes a great gift for any occasion.
Give a gift that he will truly appreciate. What used to be military issue only is quite a fashion trend among men today, and whether young or old, every man in your life will love the idea of having his own personalized dog tags. These stylish and sleek dog tags come in a silver finish on one side and carbon fiber on the other for that distinguished look. Because they hang from a 26" long chain, they are the perfect fit for everyone.
The personalization is the whole point. Engrave one or both of these dog tags and send him a special message that he can carry with him everywhere, with room for up to 36 characters on the back of each tag. That is enough for a name and a date, a line the two of you share, or the short sentence you would never say out loud but would happily have engraved into metal. HansonEllis engraves every set in-house.
The Personalized Dog Tag Necklace is just the right gift for that hard to buy guy. If you are not sure what to get that man who has everything, try giving him one of these necklaces along with our Carbon Fiber Business Card Case. The two make a perfect set, and he will be thrilled by the refined style and the touching personalization.
Groomsmen do a lot of hard work helping the groom put together the big day. Give one back something special by engraving carefully chosen words on the dog tags. Put the date of the wedding on there and show him you really care. Present the necklace with a hand-picked photo of all of the guys, framed in our Groomsman Glass Photo Frame, which looks great displayed anywhere. These two items are just the right thing for all the men in your wedding party, and our Gifts for Him pages hold many more unique and inspiring ideas.
Anybody who appreciates the finer things will really value these dog tags. They can be handed down from generation to generation. Children will love inheriting these from their parents and will undoubtedly become treasured family heirlooms. Start the tradition today.
Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and give him something he will still be wearing long after the occasion has passed.

Ordering the Personalized Dog Tag Necklace for weddings and events
Ordering the Personalized Dog Tag Necklace for a wedding party, a team or a company event is handled as one order. There is no minimum, so order exactly the number of necklaces you need. Each tag back takes up to 36 characters, which is why a groomsmen order usually runs one man's name per necklace with the same wedding date on the second tag. When the names change from piece to piece, order the full quantity and email your list to [email protected] after ordering so every necklace is engraved correctly. Company logos are a custom order: send a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected], where a logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be engraved at tag size. Standard production is 5–10 business days, rush 3–5 and expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days US shipping, and weddings should be ordered 3–6 months ahead. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
Questions shoppers ask about the Personalized Dog Tag Necklace
How long is the chain on the Personalized Dog Tag Necklace?
The necklace is 26" in length, which is why it fits just about everyone without adjustment.
How big are the dog tags themselves?
Each tag measures 1-3/4"L x 1"W, the familiar dog tag proportion rather than a pendant.
What are the tags made of?
They have a silver finish on one side and carbon fiber on the other, which is what gives them that distinguished, two-tone look.
How many characters can be engraved?
Up to 36 characters on the back of the 1st dog tag and up to 36 characters on the back of the 2nd dog tag. Spaces and punctuation count toward the total.
Can both tags be engraved, or only one?
Either. You can engrave one tag or both, and the front of the 2nd dog tag is available as an additional engraving area if you want a third line of wording.
Where is the engraving done?
In-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing gifts since 1999.
Can each necklace in a groomsmen order have a different name?
Yes. Order the quantity you need, then email your list of names to [email protected] after ordering so each necklace is matched to the right man.
Can a company logo be engraved on the tag?
Logos are handled as a custom order. Email a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected]. A logo setup fee applies, the tag is small, and not every logo can be engraved.
Can I see a proof before the tags are engraved?
Yes. Proofs are optional and available on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof, and a proof adds extra days to production. Changes after a proof carry a $40 minimum updating fee, so check your spelling and dates before ordering.

Standard production is 5 to 10 business days, then 2 to 5 days shipping in the US. Rush is 3 to 5 business days and expedite is 1 to 3. For a wedding, order 3 to 6 months ahead.
