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.
