FAQ

What is a Serial Number on NLIS tags? 
A serial number on NLIS tags is a 5 digit number located under the PIC number. 
It is a sequence number used to number each tag in your order. 
For example, if you order 100 tags, your tags can be marked 00001 - 00100 or you can specify a different number range on your order.  
A letter can also be added to the front of the 5 digits eg: A0001
