Custom Locker Tags for Your Business
Locker tags are a simple but effective way to keep belongings organized and secure in schools, gyms, workplaces, and other facilities.
At Metal Marker, we manufacture high-quality custom locker tags that can be designed with names, numbers, logos, or other identifying information to fit your exact needs. These tags help organizations maintain order, improve security, and provide clear identification for both employees and visitors.
Something as straightforward as a locker tag can make a big difference in keeping a facility safe and efficient. Numbered or personalized tags give workers, students, or members quick access to their storage space while helping management keep track of assignments. In the event of theft, damage, or locker changes, clear identification ensures accountability and traceability. From manufacturing plants and healthcare facilities to schools, gyms, and sports teams, locker tags remain a trusted solution for storage management.
We offer a variety of durable materials including anodized aluminum, stainless steel, and brass, each suited for different styles and levels of durability. Processes like photo anodization, etching, and engraving allow us to create designs that are permanent, legible, and tailored to your application. Mounting options such as adhesive backing or screw holes give you flexibility in how tags are attached. Whether you need a bulk order of numbered tags for a factory or custom nameplates for a sports team, we provide consistent quality at scale.
With decades of experience in custom identification solutions, Metal Marker delivers locker tags that combine precision, durability, and professional craftsmanship. All of our products are made in the USA and backed by a team committed to providing the best service and support.

Industries
Industries That Use Custom Tags
Many industries rely on metal locker tags for identification and security. Manufacturing plants, hospitals, and sports facilities use them to organize employee and team storage areas.
Schools and gyms also have custom locker name plates to prevent mix-ups. Custom tags and metal locker name plates allow for better tracking, helping businesses and schools maintain an efficient and structured storage system.
Applications
Organizations of all sizes use lockers for their employees to provide personal storage space. Many workplaces don’t have an area to keep belongings during the workday, and workers may need to access items throughout the day. Marking these storage areas with metal locker tags provides a simple but effective identification solution.
Manufacturing Plants/Factories
Large-scale manufacturing plants employ many workers at all hours of the day. Various shifts and hours can mean workers need a place to store belongings while they work.
Factories often install lockers on site for employees. These lockers allow workers to store clean clothes, identification badges, and other personal items.
Healthcare Organizations
Hospitals and other healthcare organizations are some of the most prevalent users of lockers. These facilities host hundreds, if not thousands, of workers on a 24/7 schedule, and nurses and other staff frequently rotate shifts.
Many hospital workers need access to a change of clothes or other personal items. Hospitals often provide storage lockers for patients.
Locker Tags
Organizations using lockers and storage areas for employees typically need to label them with metal numbered tags.
If workers are assigned specific lockers, numbered tags provide traceability in the event of theft or damage.
In some cases, personalized tags are required for each locker. For example, professional sports teams often directly mark a player’s name and number above their locker.
Durability
Unlike many identification tag applications, durability is typically less of a concern with locker tags. Lockers are usually not in a setting exposed to heavy wear or chemical exposure. Weather is also not a concern since the marker will be used indoors.
In some cases, lockers are placed on the factory or warehouse floor. Regardless, these lockers will not face much wear. Since the tags will not face tough conditions, they can be produced with a wider range of materials and marking processes.
Materials
Anodized Aluminum
Anodized aluminum is a popular tag material because it is lightweight but highly durable. The material is corrosion resistant, protecting it against spills or other weathering.
The anodization process can also add a solid color to the material, allowing lockers to be color-coded for various reasons.
Stainless Steel
Industrial applications often require the highest durability of components. Lockers are not usually exposed to these conditions, so stainless steel is not necessarily required.
However, due to the nature of the material, stainless tags are considered permanent. Once the lockers are marked, they will not likely need their nameplates replaced.
Brass
Brass is a commonly used material for locker nameplates due to its unique appearance. The golden-tinted hue turns to tarnish over time, providing a vintage, rustic look.
Many hospital workers need access to a change of clothes or other personal items. Hospitals often provide storage lockers for patients.
Locker Tags
Organizations using lockers and storage areas for employees typically need to label them with metal numbered tags.
The substrate is also highly durable and ready to withstand everyday wear and tear easily.
Processes
Photo Anodization
Photo anodization is popular for industrial applications due to its high durability and full customization.
Since the process can include any imaging, these tags can be produced with various fonts, number types, etc. In addition, a solid background color can be added to the metal material for branding or sorting purposes.
Designs can even include an organization’s logo or a barcode if necessary. This process also allows the information to be different on each tag, which is essential if unique names are marked on the lockers.
This is only a small sample of the freedom photo anodizing provides. For example, a sports team might include a player’s number, name, and position on their locker.
Etching
Etching uses a chemical process to create a slight indentation in a metal substrate.
After the impression is made in the material, color can be filled in to create a vibrant design in the nameplate.
While these tags are customizable and easy to read, they are not the most durable marking process. However, with applications such as locker tagging, durability is not much of a concern.
Assuming the nameplates aren’t exposed to harsh conditions, they will easily see many years of use.
Engraving
Another process often mentioned for marking locker tags is engraving. Engraving uses a special tool to cut directly into the metal material, leaving a deep impression.
This process is very slow and can be costly.
Engraving is best suited for very small quantities. For example, if you need a handful of lockers marked, your best bet is a local trophy shop or engraver.
Mounting Options
Attaching tags to a locker is pretty straightforward. The nameplates are produced either with holes or an adhesive backing.
Holes allow for one or multiple screws to firmly secure the plate to the locker. If a simpler installation is preferred, or drilling holes in the locker is not feasible, adhesive backing is used.
Industrial-grade adhesive provides an incredibly sturdy hold, meaning your tag is not going anywhere.
