Whatever you can imagine can pretty much be done when it comes to how you will wear your black tag. Customizing your accessory may done by attaching character text that may be up to 5 lines. Each and every lines may have up to 15 characters all in caps.

Military tags traditionally come in pairs, but if you want to uniquely wear authentic dog tags, then black is an alternative choice. A single tag gives you the convenience of wearing personalized dog tags, yet still provide you the style that you want. Its beginning can be traced back during the Vietnam War when Special Operations forces wore them during behind enemy line operations.

Today, black dog tags are worn in diverse creative ways – like using only a single tag instead of two. Black tags are made from stainless steel covered in a hardened black epoxy layer.

These tags go well with, naturally, a black chain. If you want yours to be in uniform, then a stainless steel or a nickel chain wont work. As you pay for your new accessory, find out if you can have a black chain for no cost or without extra charge. There are online customized dog tag stores that provide a 27-inch chain and a 4.5-inch chain along with the tags. Some shops may offer a 5.5-inch instead of 4.5-inch chain, if you wish.

If you would like, we can add black color to the letters for an additional $5.00 USD.

To coat the tags and chains they are placed in a vacuum chamber and blasted with a jet of plasma. This same process is used in the coating of things that are subject to high wear like formula 1 car and jet engine components. You will also see the same coating used on high end black stainless steel wristwatches.
