Why the rolled edge?

While military spec dog tags are quite durable, they are surprisingly thin. Without the rolled edge the edges of the tag would be quite sharp. The rolled edges also add a bit of rigidity to the tags to keep them from bending. Rolled edges came into use during the WWII era and allowed for a much lighter, thinner dog tag that could be embossed instead of engraved. The embossing let a much deeper and easier to read mark on the tag.

Military Dog Tags for Bible Camps

As usual for this time of year, bible camps are gearing up for the summer. We have started receiving bulk orders for dog tags embossed with various bible verses. While it only takes us 2-3 days to fill the bulk orders it is always better to plan ahead. Our custom design tags have become a popular alternative because of the full color capability. For these though you definitely have to plan ahead because we need about 3 weeks to get them to you.
