We’ve been in the Chicagoland area for years serving customers of all sizes, but now we’re opening our doors in Chicago! As a fifth generation company, our family remains committed to manufacturing the highest-quality metal tags in the United States. Our expansion to Chicago means way more than another lawn to mow and another mailbox of perfume sample cards. Our presence represents our pledge to serve a city that thrives on industry, technology, and culture. As our new offices and operation comes alive, we extend our heritage of precision, durability, and mastery in laser engraving and laser cutting directly to local businesses and operations. We provide metal tags and a whole lot more, Chicago! If you need metal tags of just about any variety or shape, we laser-cut, laser engrave and ship laser-fast right to your door. We are excited to be Chicagoans, and we’re even more excited to be your neighbor – we’ll be moving in over the next month or so – so pardon our dust as we unpack the dishes and towels and get all set up.
Why Chicago Matters
When was Chicago not an important crossroads for industry and trade? From indigenous people to the pioneers of America’s Great Expansion, this is America’s Heartland home for innovation, creativity, and resilience.
This is the town that picked it self up and rebuilt after disaster to not only make itself better, but to throw the World Columbian Exposition to show the whole world what better should look like. That takes guts. Laser Engraving Pros is a part of this Chicago tradition. This city resonates with us. We even experienced our own Great Fire, rising from the ashes to grow bigger, better and stronger. Like Chicago, standing apart while delivering exceptional professionalism has always been our identity. We bring tradition, skill, and modern capability into harmony, serving both the massive industrial facilities and the creative entrepreneurs who call this city home.
With our new location, companies that already rely on Laser Engraving Pros will gain faster access, quicker turnaround, and even stronger partnerships. We already deliver across nearby IL cities, but a base in Chicago allows us to sharpen our focus, meet face-to-face by appointment, and bring specialized manufacturing closer than ever.
The Power of Metal Tags in Chicago
Metal tags are more than identification. They are a guarantee of safety, certification, and compliance. For over a century, Laser Engraving Pros has supplied metal tags to industries that cannot afford compromise:
- Data centers, solar farms, wind farms, solar arrays, and advanced technology operations—where accuracy, clarity, and permanence are crucial.
- Automotive, aerospace, electronics, and industrial equipment sectors—which demand tags that endure high stress and hostile conditions.
A properly engineered tag does more than display a number or logo—it survives fire, extreme weather, and years of wear. UL Approved tags, a standard we proudly uphold, signal that products meet stringent safety and compliance measures. Clients in logistics, construction, or healthcare recognize this approval as a trusted seal that prevents costly compliance failures.
Types of Metal Tags We Provide Chicago
- Aluminum Tags: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and ideal for outdoor environments where weather varies. In humid IL summers, anodized aluminum stands firm, resisting rust and fading.
- Stainless Steel Tags: When strength matters most, stainless steel remains unmatched. Resistant to heat, chemicals, and abrasion, these tags are indispensable for industrial machinery, aerospace parts, and transportation logistics.
- Copper Tags: Known for conductivity and a classic aesthetic, copper works well in specialty applications, especially electrical. However, copper can oxidize; in harsh IL heat, stainless steel or anodized aluminum is often the better choice.
- PV Tags (Photovoltaic/Solar Tags): With Texas’ booming solar industry, PV tags are critical for legal compliance and long-term identification on solar panels, wiring, and arrays. Laser Engraving Pros produces PV tags engineered to withstand direct sun, UV rays, and fluctuating temperatures.
- Plastic Tags: Sometimes metal is more than required. Plastic tags offer affordability and flexibility for temporary or indoor applications. Acrylic, for example, serves beautifully in promotional uses, signage, or niche branding projects.
Every metal—and plastic—has a place. Our staff advises clients carefully, recommending the best option for their exact environment and regulatory requirements.
Illinois Weather: For the Bold
Illinois weather is diverse, and Chicago feels the extremes of the extremes. From punishing sun exposure to sudden freezes and blizzard conditions to Lake Effect winds, materials must be ready to stand the testt:
- Chicago summertime heat makes stainless steel and anodized aluminum prime choices for outdoor infrastructure.
- Coastal humidity from the lake can corrode weaker metals, so stainless steel remains safest.
- Wind and dust test durability, and thick-gauge stainless steel tags hold strong under abrasive conditions.
- Indoor climate-controlled environments such as tech labs may benefit from copper or anodized aluminum for specialized labeling.
We design tags knowing they must thrive where they’re placed—not just look good on delivery day.
Chicago Beyond Engraving: True Customization
While laser engraving and laser cutting define our craft, what we truly provide is adaptability. Clients may ship their own products directly to us or bring them in person by appointment. Whether it is aluminum panels, stainless steel blanks, switchplates, or promotional items like tumblers, glassware, wood, or leather goods, we engrave with precision and care.
Our offerings extend beyond industrial identity tags:
- Personalized wedding gifts, favors, and décor.
- Bulk promotional engraving for businesses, conventions, or product launches.
- Corporate logo engraving services that unify branding across equipment, signs, and custom gear.
- Fine-detail engraving, deep etching, photo laser engraving, and high-precision bulk runs.
This breadth of capability means one provider meets countless needs.
We are a partner in ensuring compliance, safety, and branding endure.
Our People, Our Legacy, Chicago
As a family-run, five-generation business, founded in 1891, our values remain clear. We employ a small but exceptionally skilled team. Each person is among the best in their field, compensated fairly, supported with competitive wages, and thriving in a high-morale environment. Proudly, we create job opportunities for American workers, ensuring every tag is made from U.S.-sourced materials and manufactured in the U.S.
This combination of heritage and modern mastery explains why the majority of companies in industries that matter most choose us—often without looking elsewhere.
Competitive Advantage Without Compromise
We never pretend to be the cheapest, but we never pretend to be anything other than what we are; The industry leader for a reason, proven by our long standing legacy. We emphasize competitive pricing alongside uncompromising quality. Each metal tag reflects over a century of technical evolution and client trust. The difference shows in details: tags that remain legible decades later, compliance that withstands audits, and identification that saves businesses from costly errors.
Consumer reports reveals one truth: what’s cheap costs more. Known more popularly by the saying, “You Get What You Pay For”, poor-quality tags create replacements, fines, failures, and lost reputation. Our clients understand—choosing us is less about saving pennies and more about protecting millions, and often results in both. We provide the highest quality laser cutting and engraving in our region, while still costing less than our competition within bigger and smaller laser service companies; As an added bonus, we’re able to laser cut and laser engrave far larger projects, still for less, thanks to our state of the art equipment.
Chicago and Niche Uses and Creative Possibilities
Chicago is unique. It thrives not only on industry but on creativity, fashion, and culture. That’s why our services stretch beyond industrial supply:
- Apparel makers use small, embossed metal tags as brand identifiers.
- Artists and event planners employ customized tags as promotional items or keepsakes.
- Specialized, unique stencils for a wide variety of needs and applications.
Chicago’s uniqueness applies here too: we craft unusual, creative, and highly personalized tags that fit the eccentric, bold spirit of this city.
Commitment to a Future in Chicago
We are thrilled to ground ourselves in Chicago. Our facility welcomes new clients, nurtures long-standing partnerships, and demonstrates that legacy companies can grow without losing their soul. We build on a tradition of excellence, while meeting modern demands for speed, precision, and reliability.
