Once you approve the proof, allow standard production time for your tags to be ready to ship. Once your logo is on file and approved, the logo setup process will not have to be repeated. When uploading a file, please make sure that your file has one of the following extensions: .eps or .ai (preferred) jpg or .png. A clear black and white file of your image is required as logos will not be lasered in color. After your file has been uploaded, you can add it to your cart. Logos are laser engraved, meaning permanent markings are burned into the tag. Laser engraving offers a black/grayish imprint and is much more visible on a lighter-colored tag. If you are ordering a black tag, the numbers will be a gray or off-white color. The laser engraving will ensure the tag is readable for the lifetime of the animal. Our tags can feature the logo on the neck or the panel of the tag. For example on a Maxi size tag, a logo in the neck of a tag is usually ½ inch tall by 1 inch wide while a logo in the full panel (body) of a tag is usually 1 3/8 inch tall by 2 inches wide. Logo areas will vary accordingly on the other tag sizes. Our ear tags can be applied with our IVS Ear Tag Applicator or Allflex applicator. All IVS tag sizes are the same as Allflex tags.

3/8" 0-9 Digits for Tattoo Plier
The 3/8" 0-9 digits for tattoo pliers are essential tools in the identification of livestock, providing a permanent mark for tracking and management purposes. These digits are typically made from durable materials like nylon or nickel-plated steel to ensure longevity and clear imprints. The standard size of 3/8" is suitable for various standard pliers and is designed to fit comfortably in the hand, reducing fatigue during extended use. Quality tattoo digits are precision-made, often laser-etched for accuracy and ease of identification. A good set will come with a positive ear release feature, which helps prevent the points of the digits from scratching or blurring the tattoo mark, ensuring a crisp and clear outcome every time. When selecting tattoo digits, it's important to consider the material, ease of handling, and the clarity of the mark they produce, as these factors directly impact the effectiveness of animal identification. First, secure the animal in a chute or head catch to minimize movement. Clean the ear with alcohol to remove any dirt or wax, and ensure it's dry. Insert the chosen digits into the pliers and test the alignment on a piece of cardboard. When ready, position the pliers on the part of the ear that is light in color and free from hair, avoiding any ribs or veins. Apply firm pressure to ensure the needles penetrate the skin. Immediately after, rub tattoo ink into the punctured area, which helps in marking the digits and promotes healing due to the antiseptic properties of the ink. Clean and dry the equipment after use to maintain its condition for future applications. Set of numerals for 3/8˝ Standard tattoo plier; Exchangeable with Stone pliers. Note: Packaging may vary.

With the addition of nitrile gloves and ink included the tattoo plier kit is a comprehensive solution for the identification needs of sheep, pigs, goats, rabbits, and other livestock. When using a tattoo plier for livestock identification, it's crucial to follow best practices to ensure the markings are clear, permanent, and safe for the animals. Begin by restraining the animal securely, preferably in a squeeze chute, and clean the ear with rubbing alcohol to remove any wax or debris that could affect the tattoo's clarity. It's advisable to clip hair from the tattoo area for better visibility and to prevent interference with the ink. Use a halter for additional control if necessary. When applying the tattoo, make sure the digits are correctly aligned and the pliers are set firmly to ensure the ink penetrates the skin adequately. After tattooing, use a toothbrush or similar tool to rub more ink into the punctures, enhancing the permanence of the mark. Disinfect the equipment between animals to maintain biosecurity measures. Regularly check the tattoos for legibility, as hair growth can cause fading over time. Lastly, prioritize human safety while working around the animals, as proper restraint is essential to prevent injuries.
