Your Bag.
Your Name.
Precision laser-engraved into anodized aluminum — not printed, not stuck on. Your name is cut directly into the metal so it can’t fade, peel, or rub off. Eight colors, two shapes, one tag that lasts as long as your bag.
Custom in 60 Seconds.
Three choices, one tag that’s unmistakably yours. Made-to-order in our Utah studio and on your bag in days.
Choose between the classic Card or the Paddle silhouette — both 2″ × 3″, both built from the same anodized aluminum, both reinforced with a stainless steel cable loop.
Eight anodized finishes: Black, Orange, Purple, Teal, Red, Blue, Gun Metal Gray, and Pink. The anodized layer is fused to the metal, not painted on — it won’t chip or fade.
Up to 20 characters, dual-side laser-etched directly into the metal. We engrave to order in Utah and ship within 1-2 business days.
Why Aluminum
Not all tags are built the same.
We chose anodized aluminum because it's the only material that holds up everywhere your bag goes.

These are really cool! Ive had several people notice mine and ask about it.
This tag took almost 2 months to arrive along with countless communications. It has taken the initial luster off the bag itself.
This custom laser-engraved bag tag is exactly what I was looking for for my pickleball bag. The engraving is clean and easy to read, the material feels sturdy, and it’s held up great after several trips to the courts. It looks professional and makes my bag stand out. I couldn’t be happier!
It looks excellent, it is solid and the engraving is clear and well done
Loved the tag and its color! Super clear and excited to show it off.
Adorable and well made tag.
Little sharp around the edges but good quality tag
Thank you for the free bag tag! Love it!
This such a great concept / offering. FORWRD has such great bags, it's an easy way to distinguish yours from others and make it look unique.
Great quality gear tag -- looks great with the bag with the Court Ranger V2
It’s cute but a little bit too big for me. The font size is too small compared to the piece
Hi there! Thanks for your feedback. We'll keep your size preferences in mind for future designs. Glad you find it cute!
Nice addition to the bag!
Hi Marc, we're glad you like the bag tag! Thanks for your support.
Very nice
Thank you, Victor, for your kind words! We're delighted you love your custom laser engraved bag tag. We appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again.
Nice tag that should last for many years. Thank you!
Thank you, Lyle! We're glad you are pleased with the tag. We appreciate your support!
The only reason it's not a 5-star is that one of the tags, the etching is off on one side. Otherwise the tags are stylish and make my bag really stand out.
Hi Kenny, thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoy the style of the tags and appreciate your note about the etching. We'll strive to improve this aspect. Thanks for choosing FORWRD!
Nice ID Tag
Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you like the ID Tag.
Nice looking tag though after using it I would prefer the tag in another material. The metal is heavy and noisy when it hits my water bottle. I am also afraid of hitting something with the tag when I swing the bag off my shoulder.
Hi Barb, thanks for your feedback! We’re glad you like the look of the tag. We'll consider your suggestions about the material for future designs. Feel free to reach out if you need any assistance!
Feels very premium!
Hi Justin, thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled you love the premium feel of the bag tag. Appreciate your support!
This paddle bag tag is very well made. It nicely compliments the bag.
Hi Julio, thank you for your kind words! We're glad you love the bag tag and that it complements your bag well.
Love it but it didn’t come with a holder for it. Otherwise I would’ve given it all 5⭐️
Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We're glad you love the bag tag! We appreciate your suggestion regarding a holder and will consider it for future improvements. If you need any accessories or assistance, please feel free to contact us.
This is a nice bag tag, but the edges are a little sharp on one side. I’m sure this is typical of the stamping process, but it would be nice if they could round it off a little bit.
Hi Joe, thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the sharp edges. We will definitely pass this along to our production team and see if we can improve the rounding process. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we hope you enjoy your custom bag tag!
Classy pro looking tag. Does the bag justice.
My cable broke so I zip tied it to my bag.
Thank you for your kind words about our Custom Laser Engraved Bag Tag! We're glad to hear that it added a finishing touch to your bag and gave it a classy and professional look. We apologize for the inconvenience with your cable, but we're happy to hear that you found a solution by zip tying it to your bag. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope it continues to serve you well.
Update: support replied promptly to remedy the issue and send a corrected tag
Received a tag with someone else's name / info on it
Hey Michelle, thanks for letting us know. We'll send you an email and take care of you. Thanks.
It's nice But the cable fastener that came with it wasn't good to me. I used it on another forwrd bag until I got my new one and it locked and couldn't get it off so had to cut it to get it off my old Forwrd bag.
Awesome
Love it! Such a cool bonus.
Terrible quality. Confusing process and failed to add slogan even after 2 attempts .
Nice but i wish we had color options
Excellent quality & the perfect gift or your pickleball friends!

CUSTOM TAG FAQ'S
What materials do you use?
Each tag is made from anodized aluminum — ultra-durable, scratch-resistant, and built to outlast plastic or printed tags.
Will the engraving fade or peel?
Never. The design is laser-etched directly into the metal, not printed — so it’s permanent and weatherproof.
What if I make a mistake in my customization?
If you spot an error right after ordering, email us at support@forwrd.co within 2 hours — we can usually catch it before engraving begins.
Do you offer bulk or team discounts?
Yes — teams, clubs, or corporate orders of 10+ tags qualify for custom pricing.
Email wholesale@forwrd.co for a quick quote.
How many characters can I engrave?
Up to 20 characters per side. Most players go with their first name on one side and either a phone number, USA Pickleball ID, or zip code on the back. Capital letters, lowercase, numbers, and basic punctuation are all supported.
Can I choose the font or layout?
Every tag uses our signature condensed sans-serif font, sized and centered automatically based on your text length. Custom fonts and logos are available for orders of 25+ tags, email wholesale@forwrd.co.
How does the tag attach to my bag?
Every tag ships with a stainless steel cable loop that threads through the tag’s reinforced hole and clips to any zipper pull, D-ring, or grab handle. It’s tamper-resistant and built to outlast the bag it’s on.
How fast will my tag ship?
Each tag is laser-engraved to order in our Utah studio in 1-2 business days. U.S. orders arrive in 3-5 business days after engraving. Need it for a tournament? Email support@forwrd.cowe can prioritize.
Is this a good gift?
It’s our #1 add-on for a reason. Pair it with a Court Ranger or Court Caddy and we’ll engrave your giftee’s name on the tag before it ships. Add a note at checkout if you want it gift-wrapped.
What if the engraving wears down?
It won’t. The text is etched into the aluminum, not painted on top. If your tag ever shows engraving wear under normal use, we’ll re-engrave or replace it free. That’s our Lifetime Engraving Promise.
