Pet Tag Generator

Type your pet's name and your phone number and get a tag with the name on the front and the number on the back, sized to fit. Add your own name too if there is room. Download STL or 3MF and print it in one go.

How it works

1. Write the name. Pick one of 40 fonts and choose raised lettering or lettering flush with the face in a second colour.
2. Add the phone number. It goes on the back, flush in a second colour, and the owner's name joins it underneath when it fits. If it would make the number too small to read, it is left off and the editor says so.
3. Choose the tag. A bone, circle, heart, rounded tag, fish or paw, from 20 to 80 mm wide. Most hang from a ring lug on top that leaves the whole face for the lettering; the fish and the paw are drilled, through the head and a toe, as stamped ones are.
4. Download. A zip of STLs, the tag and each piece of flush lettering, or a 3MF with the tag and its lettering in their own colours.

Printing and wearing it

Print the tag front up, with no supports: the back lies flat on the bed, with its lettering filled level with it. From the STL zip, load the files as one object with several parts so the lettering lands in its pockets, and give it its own filament. PETG is the safer choice for a collar, because it bends rather than snapping and does not soften on a hot day. Hang it from a split ring or an S-hook, and check the ring now and then: a worn ring loses more tags than a broken one.

Included in every plan

The pet tag generator comes with the same account and the same plan as every other generator on the site. The free plan downloads the tag as STL, raised or flush on the front and flush in a second colour on the back. Hobbyist and Commercial add 3MF, a separate font for the back, saved designs and unlimited downloads. Details are on the pricing page.

Frequently asked questions

Is the pet tag generator free?

Yes. On the free plan the tag downloads as STL, with the name raised or flush on the front and the phone number flush in a second colour on the back, up to 2 downloads a day and with no watermark. Paid plans add 3MF, saved designs and unlimited downloads.

What filament is best for a pet tag?

PETG for most tags: it is tough, it flexes instead of snapping and it does not soften in a car or in the sun. PLA prints the sharpest lettering but can turn brittle and warp in heat, so it suits a cat that stays indoors better than a dog that swims. TPU is soft and quiet but holds fine lettering less well.

What size should a pet tag be?

Most dog tags are 30 to 45 mm across and cat tags 20 to 30 mm. The editor fits the lettering to whatever size you choose and tells you when the phone number prints too small to read, so a bigger tag is the fix for a long number.

What should I put on my pet's tag?

A phone number is the one thing a tag has to carry, so it goes on the back at the largest size that fits. The pet's name goes on the front. Your own name is added only if it leaves the number big enough to read. Many owners add a second number, or a word like Microchipped, in place of their name.

Can I sell pet tags made with it?

Yes, with the Commercial plan, which includes a licence to sell what you make. It is the same licence that covers cake toppers, papel picado, cake stencils, cookie cutters and party banners.
