In a few weeks I’m going to take off the shutters on my house for re-painting. I know from past experience that each one needs to be put back on in the same location and would like to label them. For example, “SE” for south-east, etc. I may purchase a set of letter punches to make the tags or carve the locations on the shutters but it may be simpler to have the tags made. Back in the 1960’s my dad used a small machine at work to create tags with raised letters on thin galvanized steel or aluminum. Does anyone know a company (or type of company) I could contact that would make these tags?
