Finishing depends on the tag and the material of the project. Common methods are:

Good tags are characterized by careful workmanship, a durable coating and a convincing design. Different metal colors and surfaces (shiny, matt, antique) offer design freedom. Practical details such as a solid eyelets or a sturdy pin are also important for suitability for everyday use.
