Durable Identification for Outdoor Use
Engraved Tree tags make it easy to identify, track, and protect trees and plants, whether you’re marking hazardous removals, preserving protected species, labeling collections, or educating visitors.
Since 1988, Inland Products LLC has manufactured U.S.–made, anodized aluminum engraved tree tags designed to perform for decades in sun, rain, snow, and temperature swings.

QR Code Tree Tags for Education & Data
Turn each tree into a smart touchpoint. We laser-mark QR codes that link visitors and crews to species pages, GIS entries, safety notes, or work orders. Simply scan with a smartphone to access photos, location histories, or care instructions. No app required, just your website page URL.
Mounting & Field Tips
- Tree-safe attachment: Use wire/ties around a limb or stake near the tree. Leave room for growth to avoid girdling.
- Posts & plaques: For long-term displays, mount to a post or stand near the trunk; this protects bark and improves visibility.
- High contrast matters: Pick darker colors to enhance readability of the white engraved text at a distance.
- Data planning: Decide your numbering/barcode scheme early (e.g., block ranges by zone) to streamline installation and future audits.
Ordering Is Simple
- Choose material & color: Select from a variety of aluminum colors.
- Pick size & hole pattern: Match your ties, wire, or fasteners.
- Upload data/artwork: Send text, numbering ranges, barcodes/QRs, and logos, included at no extra charge.

FAQ: Tree Tags
Are tree tags weatherproof?
Yes. Anodized aluminum is engineered for outdoor use and resists UV, corrosion, and abrasion.
Will tags damage the tree?
Not when installed correctly. Allow room for growth and avoid tightening ties around the trunk. Consider mounting to a stake or nearby post for long-term displays.
Can you include barcodes, QR codes, and logos?
Absolutely—included at no extra charge with laser engraving.
Do you offer custom shapes and sizes?
Yes. In addition to stock sizes, we can make custom shapes, sizes, hole placements, and thicknesses (including 0.020″).
