Custom Rigging Tags for Your Business
Rigging tags are crucial for industrial equipment because they provide valuable information such as weight capacity, inspection dates, and identification numbers. Without them, workers may be unaware of potential hazards or risks when using equipment beyond its safe operating limits.
At Metal Marker, we manufacture durable rigging tags that give crews clear, permanent identification for safer and more efficient lifting operations.
Our rigging tags are used across industries like construction, manufacturing, oil and gas, and marine operations. By marking slings, hoists, ropes, and cranes with inspection data and usage details, rigging tags make safety checks faster, reduce human error, and help teams maintain compliance with OSHA and other industry regulations.
We offer a wide selection of materials, including stainless steel and aluminum, designed to withstand extreme environments such as offshore conditions, chemical exposure, and prolonged outdoor use. Marking options include embossing, etching, engraving, and photo anodizing to ensure permanent, legible information that will not wear away. Tags can also be customized with serialized numbers, barcodes, or QR codes for seamless integration with asset tracking and maintenance systems. We specialize in large-scale production orders, delivering tags built to last and designed to support critical safety operations.
With decades of experience, Metal Marker has earned a reputation for delivering inspection and safety tags that meet the highest standards. All of our products are manufactured in the USA with rigorous quality control, giving you confidence that your rigging equipment is clearly labeled, compliant, and ready for safe use.

Durable Tags With UV Resistance
Metal Marker’s rigging tags are known for their durability and UV resistance, which makes them ideal for lifting equipment in the rigging industry. These tags are designed to withstand harsh environments and extreme temperatures, ensuring the serial number remains legible and intact even after years of use. In addition, UV-resistant coatings protect the tags from fading and discoloration caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight.
This durability and UV resistance are crucial for equipment and machinery subjected to rough handling, harsh weather conditions and long hours of use. In addition, our rigging tags provide a reliable, long-lasting solution to label and identify heavy industrial equipment, ensuring workers can quickly and safely operate the equipment without the risk of accidents or breakdowns.
Made for Harsh Environments
Metal Marker’s rigging tags are designed to withstand harsh environments typical in industries like oil and gas. These tags are made from durable materials like stainless steel, brass and aluminum, which can withstand extreme temperatures, corrosion and chemicals. In addition, we offer a range of printing and marking options, such as laser etching and embossing, which provide permanent and legible labels that won’t wear off, even with rough handling or exposure to harsh chemicals. This makes them ideal for use in the oil and gas industry, where equipment and machinery are subjected to harsh conditions like extreme heat, moisture and chemicals.
Customizable and Time-Tested Solutions
Metal Marker rigging tags are fully customizable so you can create the correct identification tag for your business. Thanks to their durability and high-quality construction, our labels are known as reliable, time-tested solutions.
Industry-Compliant Rigging Inspection Tags
Many lifting and rigging industry regulators require equipment to be tagged periodically with labels showing the most recent maintenance information. For example, OSHA has mandated that every sling must have a sling tag affixed to it. These tags indicate specific usage techniques that should be used and weight tolerances for a given sling. That way, the end user will always know a safe working load for a sling.
Fast Turnaround and Exceptional Value
We know the importance of fast turnaround to our customers. That’s why we maintain a sizable on-hand inventory so that, once we receive an order, we can minimize the time it takes to deliver the product to you. This helps us maintain short lead times and ensures we always have it by the promised delivery date.
At the core of our business, our philosophy is to provide exceptional value through high-quality standards. We have a deep commitment to fast turnaround times and constantly try to be a low-cost leader of standard and custom tags, labels, decals and nameplates. We produce large and small orders, so you’ll always receive a high-quality metal tag designed for your needs, delivered on time and at a competitive price.
Applications
Rigging tags are essential in many industries that require strict adherence to safety standards and precise load handling. In the construction sector, these tags are used on slings, shackles, and lifting chains to indicate their usage status and inspection history.
In the oil and gas industry, rigging inspection tags help crews verify whether lifting equipment has passed required safety checks. Manufacturing facilities rely on these tags to label hoists and cranes.
At the same time, marine and offshore operations use them to monitor equipment exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Any workplace where load-bearing gear is involved can benefit from the clear visibility and information that rigging tags provide.
Materials
Metal Marker Manufacturing offers rigging tags in high-performance materials designed to withstand harsh conditions. Common materials include stainless steel and aluminum, which are known for their corrosion resistance and long-term durability in outdoor or industrial environments.
Stainless steel is ideal for offshore and chemical exposure, while aluminum provides a lightweight yet resilient option for general-purpose use. Custom materials and finishes can also be used for projects needing extra abrasion resistance or compliance with specific standards. Each tag is designed with your application in mind, ensuring reliability, legibility, and safety over time.
