FASTTAG Miniature Markers are a compact, snap-together identification system for marking cables, conduit, valves, poles, and just about anything else that needs a label in the field. Each marker uses highly raised 3D characters that stay legible even in harsh weather and even when painted over. If you need a flexible marking system that your crew can assemble on-site in seconds, FASTTAG is built for exactly that.

Tech Products designed the FASTTAG system to eliminate the frustration of traditional marking methods. The polymer tags snap into holders with no fumbling, and the same tags and holders work both horizontally and vertically. That means one inventory covers every orientation you need, and you can carry the entire kit clipped to a cable or conduit right at your fingertips.

How the FASTTAG System Works

Each FASTTAG character is a small 3D tag with raised lettering stamped in high-quality UV stable foil. The tags snap into plastic holders that can be mounted using cable ties, nails, screws, or adhesives. Because the characters are raised and embedded rather than printed, they hold up to sun, rain, ice, paint, and physical contact without becoming unreadable.

Tags are available with yellow or orange background colors. Both options are non-conductive and non-corroding, making them safe for use around electrical infrastructure and in wet or corrosive environments.

FASTTAG characters come in packs of 10 cards with 25 letters per card.

FASTTAG Holders

The FASTTAG holder system keeps assembly simple. Tags click into the holder in a straight line, and the holder locks them in place. The same holder works for both horizontal and vertical mounting, so you do not need separate inventories for different orientations.

Holders can be mounted with cable ties, nails, screws, or adhesives depending on your application. Available holder options include:

PHF206: 2-Line Holder
PHF94: Single-line holder
E-Line Marker: For single-line identification
1-Line Marker: Compact single-line configuration
Joint Use Marker: Designed for joint use pole marking applications

Common Applications

The FASTTAG system is used across utilities, telecom, marine, and industrial settings. Common applications include:

Marking underwater cable
Identifying valves
Tagging conduit
Joint use pole marking
Boat’s line management
Fiber optic cable identification
Pedestal marking

FASTTAG Standard Kits

For convenience, Tech Products offers ready-to-go FASTTAG kits that include everything you need to start marking right away. Each standard kit contains:

1 Yellow Comma Organizer
50 FASTTAG Cards: 1 each of 0-9, Blank, and Dash; 1 each of A-Z; plus 3 additional high-capacity 0-9 number cards
Poly Holders
100 Rivets and Plugs
100 Tie Straps, 8 in. long

The kit comes in a flexible, tough protective pocket that clips directly onto a cable, conduit, or pipe. Your crew can carry the entire miniature marker system right where they are working. The bottom pocket stores spare characters in a built-in organizer so nothing gets lost.

Custom kits are also available. Call 1-800-221-1311 to build a kit that matches your specific project needs.

FASTTAG 3D Company Name Strips

In addition to individual character markers, Tech Products offers FASTTAG 3D Company Name Strips. These pre-made strips display your company name in the same durable, raised-character format as standard FASTTAG markers. They are a great option for branding your infrastructure or meeting identification requirements on joint use poles and shared facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions About FASTTAG Miniature Markers

What are FASTTAG Miniature Markers?

FASTTAG Miniature Markers are a snap-together identification system made by Tech Products. Each marker uses small 3D polymer tags with raised characters that snap into plastic holders. The system is designed for quick assembly in the field and works for marking cables, conduit, valves, poles, and other infrastructure.

Can FASTTAG markers be read after being painted over?

Yes. FASTTAG characters use highly raised 3D lettering that remains legible even after being painted over. The raised profile of each character means the identification is still visible and readable by touch, even when surface coatings are applied over the marker.

Are FASTTAG markers safe for use around electrical equipment?

Yes. FASTTAG tags are non-conductive and non-corroding, making them safe for use on electrical infrastructure, in wet environments, and in marine applications. The polymer material will not conduct electricity or degrade from corrosion.

How are FASTTAG markers mounted?

FASTTAG holders can be mounted using cable ties, nails, screws, or adhesives. The same holder works in both horizontal and vertical orientations, so you only need one type of holder regardless of how you plan to mount it.

What comes in a standard FASTTAG kit?

Each standard FASTTAG kit includes a Yellow Comma Organizer, 50 FASTTAG character cards (numbers 0-9, letters A-Z, blanks, and dashes), poly holders, 100 rivets and plugs, and 100 tie straps (8 in. long). The kit comes in a clip-on protective pocket that attaches directly to cables or conduit for hands-free access in the field.
