These 32mm surface-etched brass key tags are manufactured from solid brass and provide clear, understated identification for hotels, guest houses, keys, lockers and equipment.

Numbers and short references are etched into the surface of the brass and left unfilled, preserving the natural all-brass appearance. Unlike our deep-engraved tags, the characters have a shallower surface finish rather than being cut deeply into the material.

The 32mm round format provides good visibility while remaining compact enough for everyday key-management systems. The front is etched with your chosen numbers as standard, with optional reverse etching available for additional information.

Choosing an Engraving Style

These tags have shallow, unfilled surface etching that retains the natural appearance of the brass. They are suitable where subtle identification and an understated all-metal finish are preferred.

For more deeply recessed characters, choose one of our deep-engraved brass tags. For the strongest contrast and easiest reading at a glance, select a black-filled brass tag.

Natural Brass Finish

Solid brass can gradually develop a natural patina through handling, moisture and exposure to the surrounding environment. This is a normal characteristic of uncoated brass and does not affect the etched identification.

A suitable brass-cleaning product can be used if a brighter finish is preferred.

Please note: The characters are surface etched rather than deeply engraved and are not black filled. Split rings and ball chains are not included unless selected and purchased separately.
