Llamacoids / All lamacoids / Lamacoid tags

Lamacoid tags. Drilled, hung or both.

A lamacoid tag is an engraved two-colour plastic plate that attaches with screws, rivets or a chain. It's the same plate as a lamacoid label, and the only difference is the mounting. We cut custom lamacoid tags in Burlington, Ontario for breakers, disconnects, valves and equipment, with no minimum order, and ship across Canada.

What's the difference between a lamacoid tag and a label?

Same material, same engraving. Labels have adhesive backing and sit flush on a flat surface. Tags are drilled for screws or rivets, or hung from a chain. If you're not sure, order adhesive plus holes on the same plate and the installer can choose.
