Custom Electric Meter Tags for Your Business
Electric meters are often outdoors, exposed to harsh weather, moisture, and daily wear. Our metal tags are designed to hold up in these conditions, offering a dependable alternative to plastic tags that may crack, fade, or fail over time. By making critical details such as meter numbers, service dates, and serial codes easy to see, electric meter tags reduce errors, improve efficiency, and support compliance with utility regulations. These benefits extend across residential complexes, commercial facilities, and renewable energy installations where accurate tracking and service are essential.
We offer multiple customization options to fit your exact application. Choose from materials like stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance, anodized aluminum for lightweight durability, or brass for environments needing moderate corrosion resistance with a distinctive appearance. Marking processes include stamping for recessed characters, engraving for precision detail, and photo anodizing for barcodes or QR codes. Whether you need serialized tags for thousands of meters or specialized designs for specific sites, we provide consistent, high-quality results at scale.
With decades of experience in U.S.-based manufacturing, Metal Marker delivers electric meter tags that combine durability, accuracy, and professional craftsmanship. Our team is ready to guide you through selecting the right materials, processes, and customization to meet your industry’s requirements.

Overview
What Are Electric Meter Tags?
Electric meter tags are essential for marking and tracking electric meters across residential, commercial, and industrial properties. These tags typically display key information such as meter numbers, serial codes, property details, or utility-specific data.
By streamlining meter reading, maintenance, and service, they play an important role in utility management, improving efficiency while ensuring compliance with industry standards and safety regulations.
Although an electric meter tag can be made with materials like plastic, a tag made from durable materials such as stainless steel and aluminum can withstand various environmental conditions, ensuring long-term readability and identification accuracy.
Benefits of Using Metal Electric Meter Tags
- Durability Against Outdoor Conditions: Electric meters are typically located outdoors, so metal tags better withstand extreme weather and environmental conditions.
- Clear Identification: An electric meter tag provides key information, such as the meter number or last service date. This can simplify identification and ensure accurate utility management.
- Property Management: Electric meter tags aid property managers by clearly identifying meters, reducing confusion during tenant turnover or property changes.
- Safety Compliance: Properly tagged electric meters help comply with safety standards and regulations, promoting safer utility management and simplifying inspections.
- Maintenance Efficiency: Tags help technicians identify and access critical information, enabling more efficient maintenance and ensuring the right meter is serviced.
Applications
Residential Property Management
Electric meter tags are used to identify individual electric meters in apartment complexes and residential neighborhoods. Key information like meter numbers can help property managers track energy usage, ensure proper billing, and simplify maintenance.
Utility Company Operations
Utility companies use tags to organize and manage thousands of electric meters in their service areas. These tags provide quick identification, enabling accurate meter readings, easy troubleshooting, and efficient maintenance.
Meter Testing and Calibration
Electric meter tags are used during testing and calibration processes. They provide clear identification of meters that need recalibration, reducing the risk of errors. The tags also help technicians log service histories, ensuring meters are regularly calibrated for accuracy.
Renewable Energy Installations
Properties installed with hybrid renewable energy setups, like solar or wind installations, can benefit from having tags. Tags can help with tracking production and consumption, ensuring the system’s efficient operation, accurate billing, and streamlined maintenance of both systems.
Materials
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a popular choice for its exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand harsh weather conditions. It is ideal for outdoor use, especially for electric meters in coastal areas or near industrial zones.
Brass
Brass is another durable material suitable for environments that require moderate corrosion resistance, especially in wet environments. Its distinct appearance makes it simple to identify.
Aluminum
Aluminum is lightweight and resistant to rust, making it a cost-effective option for electric meter identification. It is also suitable for environments less prone to extreme weather conditions.
Processes
Stamping
In this process, characters and information are imprinted onto the metal tag using a die. It provides a durable, indented marking that can withstand weather exposure. This method is ideal for long-lasting, clear identification in demanding outdoor environments.
Engraving
Engraved markings are precise, permanent, and easy to read, even after exposure to harsh conditions. Engraved tags can be used to improve traceability and ensure accurate utility management.
Laser Etching
Laser etching uses a laser beam to mark the surface of the metal tag with crisp, detailed characters and is ideal for adding barcodes or serial numbers. Laser-etched tags are resistant to wear and are perfect for customized applications requiring detailed labels.
