What's a good place to purchase metal nameplates for my equipment?

Hi! (Sorry, first time poster here, don't know if this is the right place for this.)

I do a lot of video shoots at weddings, public events, etc.
And I'd like to add some metal name plates on to a majority of my equipment that shows my company logo, and contact information.
I'm looking for plates in different sizes, such as a 2x4 for my Crane and Pelican Cases, and some very small ones for my tripods, and camera gear. Such as a 2x2, or even smaller.

I'm sort of look for something like this; but more customizeable to suit my needs. Thank you!

Hmm never heard of anyone doing that with their camera gear but I like the idea. As long as you could remove it easy enough if you wanted to sell the gear. I would look for engraving shops with a laser etcher. I bet you could find some online companies too that would take an electronic file and mail you the metal tags.

Ah, I see it a lot on rental gear, basically inventory tracking, and even some of my collegues have the same. Unfortuneatly, they can't remember where they aquired it.

I just went with stickers. For $10 a local sign shop printed up two large sheets of adhesive decals (basically bumper-sticker material) in a whole bunch of sizes with my name & telephone #. I didn't do it for branding, rather so that if something is left behind there's a slim chance it might come home, and so that when I'm teaching, my gear finds its way back to the right bag. Metal plates might be a PIA; there really aren't a lot of flat, metal surfaces on our gear when you look at it closely.

For what purpose? Anti-theft or simply to ID your stuffs?

For anti-theft, unless you make it so permanent, like engraving, it's pointless.

For ID, stickers will do. You can go to sign shops and have them laser cut vinyl stickers to your specifications. If you insist on metal plates.... well, there's always those vending machines at Petco.
