Winning! Awards and More by Tag UR It! Inc.

Everywhere you go, someone is talking about the Olympics! Stopping in at my favorite coffee shop this morning, the customers in line behind me were chatting about the Fab Five American Women’s Gymnasts’ amazing gold metal win and Michael Phelps becoming the most awarded Olympian in history!  Of course, the Tag Team has a special love of all awards! Our awards may not be QUITE as fancy as an Olympic Gold Metal, but they are pretty close!  They will sure make the recipient feel as if there were standing atop an Olympic podium!

Awards are used for so many occasions!

Awards are given out in order to raise workplace morale and work ethic in the form of a great employee of the month program.  Athletes are awarded for their outstanding hard work at many Athletic Clubs as they strive to always do their best.  Donors are recognized for their outstanding generosity in the form of a recognition award hung proudly.

By giving credit where credit is due, any organization or company will bring out the best in their team!

Tag UR It! Inc. offers a variety of awards including individual plaques and perpetual plaques.  If you don’t see exactly what you are looking for on our website, we can create a custom award to fit any occasion!

What is sublimation? Sublimated name tags, awards, and more!

If you have looked through the products on our website, you have seen many product descriptions stating sublimation as our printing method.  We want to take a minute today to tell you about the sublimation process and the benefits of this great printing technique!

Sublimation is a process in which sublimation inks, printed on special paper for our heat press, are heated to 400°F at which point they turn into a gas and form a permanent bond to special polymer coated materials.  These materials can be metal or a PVC type white plastic material called Unisub.  The result is a premium full-color, photographic-quality image that will not crack, peel or wash away.  This makes our products very durable to hold up in many work conditions!

Here at Tag UR It! inc., we produce many products through sublimation.  Because of the versatility of printing on metal and Unisub material, we are able to create name tags, awards, signs, and custom products with the bright, beautiful full color printing sublimation offers. Here are a few examples of what we can do!

Featured Product of the Day: Custom Sports Equipment Bag Name Tag

Baseball sports bag name Tag

School is now out and we are going into the season of summer sports! Taking a walk in the park the other day, I noticed the 30 kids’ equipment bags lined up along the fence during evening practice.  With so many bags, don’t you want yours to stand out with a custom bag tag from Tag UR It! inc.?

These custom metal tags can feature your team’s logo, your player’s name, uniform number, position, and any other information you wish!  We can even put your player’s photo on the bag tag!

These tags are sublimated in full color. Sublimation is a process in which sublimation inks are heated to 400°F, at which point they turn into a gas and form a permanent bond to the metal or polymer coated material. The result is a premium full-color, photographic-quality image that will not crack, peel or wash away. This makes these tags water resistant and will not allow them fade in the sun. This makes for a sturdy tag that will be outdoors on a sporting field!!

Make sure your player’s equipment bag is labeled with a custom bag tag from Tag UR It! inc.!  Contact us for more information and a free digital mock-up of your custom tags today!

This custom equipment bag tag features a Little League team logo and player’s name!

Our Wag Team: Pet photo shoot at Dogma Pet Portraits!

Today I have a fun and exciting post to share with you all! Many of you remember seeing our Wag Team in the Tag UR It! Inc. movie trailer series. Well, the Wag Team has grown since then! You all know we are huge animal lovers. Out pets are our children and we love to include them in every aspect of our life!

pet photography

Being the pet lovers we are, the Tag Team visited the OC Pet Expo last month. The Expo was amazing! Animal lovers are a special kind of people: kind, caring, and fun.  There were thousands of visitors on the OC fair grounds that weekend. We had a very successful trip, including adopting 3 new kittens into our family! Penny, Priya, and Zazzy (anyone notice the Big Bang reference?) were pretty sick when they adopted them into our home but are surrounded by so much love with our family!

While we were looking through the hundreds of booths at the Expo, one booth caught our eye. We noticed a booth of absolutely stunning pet portraits! We recognized immediately that these photos were done by the same photographer who shot the very cool photos used by JustFoodForDogs.  (Most of you will remember our past blog post about adopting Kaia from the wonderful people at JFFD) We have always loved their photos and went over to check out their booth.

This amazing booth belonged to Dogma Pet Portraits!  Dave and Sylvaine, owners of Dogma Pet Portraits, are absolutely amazing! After meeting Dave at the Pet Expo, we set up our initial design appointment at their Costa Mesa studio. Sylvaine walked us through the photo process and introduced the dogs to the studio. She showed them the big white room where the photos are taken and flashed the cameras so they would not be scared on photo day.  Our first appointment was for Scout and Cat. These are the 2 babies who have been with me since I was a kid in the house I grew up in. Scout is now 15 and I knew these would be photos I cherish forever!   After having such a wonderful experience with Scout, we decided to bring our entire furry family into Dogma Pet Portraits studio at once for a big family shot! That means all 15 of us (5 dogs, 7 cats, and 3 Tag Team Members) in one photo!! Dave was AMAZING!! He did it!!  The results speak for themselves! Check out the videos posted below to see our photos!!

If you are in the SoCal area, Dogma Pet Portraits is the best of the best! Dave has a very special way with animals and an eye for the perfect photo! He is truly a gift! Check out Dogma Pet Portraits at www.dogmapetportraits.com and be sure to “like” them on Facebook!

Featured Product of the Day: Renaissance R Pins!

Here at Tag UR It! inc., we provide custom cloisonné and lapel pins of all kinds!  Our quality custom cloisonné  pins are a subtle and sophisticated way to show some flair!!  Cloisonné pins have a royal history and a legacy of beauty. Dating back to the 13th century, the cloisonné process was first used in ancient China to create vases and other art for the Emperor. During the famous Ming Dynasty, bronze casting was taken to a new level and the cloisonné process, which is still used to create cloisonné lapel pins today, was perfected.  You, too, can have the feeling of royalty wearing a Tag UR It! Inc. custom designed pin!

In addition to traditional cloisonné style pins, we can design lapel pins with custom logos or any other type of corporate pins in both magnetic and traditional styles. Any logo or design you wish can be sublimated onto ourcustom lapel pins!

Another pin we feature here at Tag UR It! inc. is the Renaissance Hotel R Pin. Available exclusively to Renaissance Hotels, our R Pins are available in 3 different options. 

The silver R shaped lapel pin is available with deluxe clutch or magnetic backing.  It is also available with a simulated diamond stone and deluxe clutch attachment .

Until this weekend, the Tag Team members had yet to enjoy the wonderful cuisine and atmosphere of Ruth’s Chris together as a group!  Saturday night, the Tag Team enjoyed a fabulous meal at the Irvine, CA Ruth’s Chris Steak House.  Upon entering, we were welcomed by their wonderful staff! Sam, our waiter, brought us some warm, soft yummy bread and took our order! We all chose to go with their pre-fixed menu which offers each guest a starter, entrée, personal side dish, and desert duo.  I enjoyed a delicious caesar salad to start, followed by perfectly cooked scallops with lump crab meat! Catheryn’s salmon was just as amazing! Heidi enjoyed the star of Ruth’s Chris Steak House, filet mignon and shrimp! Simply wonderful!!

Dessert was actually my favorite part! Each meal came with a desert duo of chocolate strawberry cheesecake and dark chocolate nuts clusters. To die for good! I could eat those little cheesecakes daily!! We had a wonderful evening out to dinner and cannot wait to return!
Tag UR It! inc. is serving the name tag, recognition award, and custom table reserve sign needs of many Ruth’s Chris Steak House locations nationwide. Here are just a few of the products we are proud to provide!
