Some of have discussed before, making permanent name tags for special
plants/trees using an electric engraver machine and an aluminium tag.

If you're still looking for one, Lidl supermarket' s latest letterbox
flyer arrived today and among the gadgets, they're selling an engraver
similar to mine ..£9.99

Janet.

Does your engraving have to be free-hand or can you use some sort of
stencil?
I had a small label of this type made for me by a local professional. It was
a small memorial for my Labrador . The label was about 4" x 2" and cost £15

Er, this is a very old thread!

I find it best to write on the aluminium label in pencil first,
then use that as a guide for the stylus.

I think you can get some kind of metal stencil to write through but
haven't used one.
