Need to Mark Keys or Pet Tags? Custom Nests Offer a Perfect Fit

Mark Any Shape with Ease: Discover Numberall's Custom Nests
Tired of struggling to mark oddly shaped tags, keys, or other unique items? While standard strip holders excel at securing square and rectangular objects, irregularly shaped items like circles, dog bones, paw prints, and even keys can present a challenge. That’s where custom nests from Numberall come in. We specialize in creating precise, custom-fit solutions to make your marking process simple, efficient, and accurate, no matter the shape.
Why Choose a Custom Nest for Your Marking Needs?
A custom nest is a specialized fixture designed to perfectly cradle your unique item, ensuring stability and accuracy during the marking process. This eliminates the frustration of trying to secure awkward shapes and significantly improves the quality of your markings.
At Numberall, we engineer custom nests for use with most of our versatile platform machines (with the exception of the Model 49) and robust presses (excluding Models 301 and 301A). Our popular Model 40B also seamlessly integrates with custom nests, further expanding your marking capabilities.

Effortless Operation, Every Time
Our custom nests and strip holders are designed for ease of use. Simply drop or slide your tag or item into the precisely cut nest or holder, and you’re ready to begin marking. This streamlined process saves you time and reduces the risk of errors, making your operations more productive.
Ideal for a Variety of Irregular Shapes
Custom nests are perfect for a wide range of irregularly shaped items. Beyond unique tags, they are particularly beneficial for marking keys. For property owners who need to clearly mark keys with corresponding property numbers, a custom key nest offers a secure and efficient solution, ensuring clear and consistent identification.
Precision Engineering for a Perfect Fit
Our custom nests are built with durability and precision in mind. Each nest features the exact shape of your tag or key meticulously cut from a top layer of aluminum, which is then securely riveted to a robust steel base. To ensure compatibility with your existing equipment, a lip is strategically maintained on the back edge, allowing standard clamps on numbering and lettering presses or power presses to securely hold the nest in place. For items that might be difficult to remove after marking, we thoughtfully incorporate a thumb cutout into the nest, making retrieval effortless.
How to Order Your Custom Nest
To ensure a perfect fit for your unique items, we require a physical sample of your tag or object when you request a custom nest. Since dimensions can vary between different manufacturers, providing a sample allows us to engineer a nest that precisely matches your needs. We do not maintain a file of tag dimensions, so your sample is crucial for a successful custom order.
