How to Attach a Rivet-on Nameplate to a Dog Collar
Table of Contents
Looking for a tag without the jingle? A Rivet-On Name Plate is a great option! Nameplates can be attached to a variety of materials and are laser engraved.
RIvet-on nameplates are a great option if you have a dog that likes to explore in the woods and brush as they don't snag on obstacles so are much less likely to fall off. They are much more likely to be easily read by a finder if your dog goes missing since there is no need to search under your dog's chin for a hanging ID tag. If a finder is worried about getting drooled on or bit, they may not make much effort to read your dog's ID tag otherwise. If a bold laser engraved name plate is placed on the collar so it sits right on the back of your dog's neck, it can be easily ready when the finder is near or standing above your dog. No need to touch your pooch to read it.
Our stainless steel or brass nameplates can be attached to a variety of collar materials and are personalized with laser engraving.

How to Install a Rivet-On Nameplate
- Place the nameplate on the collar in the location you would like to install it.
- Mark the nameplate rivet hole positions.
- Punch holes in the collar where you made the nameplate hole marks with a hammer and punch, leather punch or drill. Use a durable surface during installation to prevent damages.
- For nylon collars, burn the edges of the holes to remove frayed strands.
- Push the rivet posts through the holes in the collar from the backside of the collar.
- Then push the rivet posts through your rivet-on nameplate and attach the provided rivet caps.
- Tap the rivet caps onto the rivet posts with a hammer until the caps flatten.
