Custom Metal Hose Tags for Your Business
Metal hose tags are essential for safe, organized, and efficient operations in industries where hoses carry critical fluids or gases. At Metal Marker, we manufacture durable metal tags that clearly identify hoses, providing quick access to important details such as specifications, service dates, and safety information.
Whether used in construction, food processing, oil and gas, or chemical handling, these tags help workers and inspectors identify hoses accurately and reduce risks associated with misuse or mix-ups.
Our tags are built to handle tough environments. From hydraulic systems that operate under high pressure to hoses carrying corrosive or hazardous materials, our tags remain legible and secure under extreme conditions. They support compliance with industry regulations, streamline inspections, and give your team confidence that every hose is properly tracked and maintained.
We provide a variety of material options, including stainless steel for maximum strength and chemical resistance, aluminum for lightweight and cost-effective durability, and brass for reliable performance in wet or outdoor environments. Processes like stamping, engraving, laser etching, and embossing allow for permanent, easy-to-read markings, even in dusty or dirty conditions. With these options, you can customize your tags with pressure ratings, serial numbers, barcodes, or safety warnings to fit your exact requirements. We deliver consistent quality at a large scale.
Backed by decades of manufacturing experience, Metal Marker produces hose tags that combine durability, compliance, and precise customization. All of our tags are made in the USA to strict quality standards, ensuring they perform reliably for years in the most demanding applications.

Overview
What Are Metal Hose Tags?
Metal hose tags are specifically designed for industrial hoses. They provide essential information about the hose, such as pressure ratings for hydraulic hose tags or warnings for hoses that handle corrosive chemicals.
Depending on your industry, certain regulations and standards can apply that require you to have metal hose tags. These regulations ensure that hoses are properly identified for safe operation, regular maintenance, and compliance with industry standards.
Quickly determine each piece of equipment’s purpose and intended use. Clear labeling ensures fewer delays and miscommunications on-site.
Benefits of Using Metal Hose Tags
- Durability: Durable metals can withstand extreme conditions and ensure the data on your tags remain legible throughout the hose’s lifespan.
- Clear Identification: Provide essential information to prevent misuse and enable quick identification.
- Safety Compliance: Ensure compliance with applicable regulations and standards and reduce risks during inspections and audits.
- Maintenance Efficiency: Simplify maintenance by providing service history and inspection schedules, ensuring proper scheduling, and minimizing downtime.
- Traceability: Allow easy tracking of hose origins, specifications, and service history while supporting quality control and aiding in failure investigations or product recalls.
Applications
Liquid Food Ingredients
In food and beverage operations, hoses transport liquid ingredients. Metal hose tags help ensure proper identification, reduce the risk of cross-contamination, and certify that food safety standards are met.
Hydraulic Systems
Industries such as construction or oil and gas use equipment that rely on air, water, and hydraulic systems. Metal hose tags help identify the correct hose for each task, improve on-site safety, and prevent accidents due to misuse.
Warning for Corrosive Substances
Metal hose tags help identify hoses that carry corrosive or hazardous substances. The tags withstand chemical exposure, enabling safe identification of hoses for maintenance or replacement, reducing contamination risks, and ensuring the correct hoses are used for specific chemicals.
Materials
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures. It is ideal for demanding environments and industrial applications where durability is critical.
Brass
Brass is often used for metal tags in applications where moderate corrosion resistance and good durability are needed. It is suitable for areas with exposure to moisture, making it a popular choice in marine and outdoor environments.
Aluminum
Aluminum is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective, making it suitable for general-purpose applications where weight is a concern. Although not as durable as stainless steel, aluminum hose tags are ideal for light industrial applications that do not require extreme resistance.
Processes
Stamping
Stamping uses a die to imprint information directly onto the metal tag, making it ideal for producing large quantities with permanent, indented characters. Stamped tags are durable, making them suitable for demanding environments like industrial and chemical applications.
Engraving
Engraving uses specialized machines to carve information into the tag. The resulting deep, precise markings are long-lasting and resistant to wear. Engraved tags are commonly used in safety-critical applications, ensuring information remains intact despite heavy use.
Laser Etching
Laser etching uses a high-powered laser to mark the surface, producing crisp, detailed text or graphics. This method is excellent for adding barcodes or intricate logos, making them ideal for traceability and quality control.
Embossing
Embossing involves raising characters on the metal tag by pressing the material through a die. This raised effect improves readability in dusty or dirty environments, such as outdoor and construction settings, where the lettering must remain visible even if partially obscured.
