Engraving Tips
Your Unconditional Care Tag should hold the information that keeps you safe: a condition, an allergy, a blood type, a contact. You are responsible for the accuracy of your engraving, including terms and abbreviations. Please check with your healthcare provider, and review your text carefully, since engraved items are final sale.
As you order, experiment with the engraving preview feature on each product page to see what will fit best.
Make sure to try top and center justification as well as capital versus lowercase letters to see what fits and looks best.
What to Engrave
What you choose to display on your Unconditional Care Tag is up to you, but here are some guidelines on how to prioritize your information. This is not medical advice and we cannot be responsible for the accuracy of your medical information.
Primary Conditions: Diagnoses that explain sudden unresponsiveness or change immediate triage (e.g., DIABETES, EPILEPSY, CARDIAC STENT).
Severe Allergies: Life-threatening food or drug allergies (e.g., NUT ALLERGY, EPIPEN). Skip mild or seasonal allergies.
Critical Medications & Devices: Prescriptions and implants that alter trauma or surgical care, particularly anticoagulants (WARFARIN, BLOOD THINNERS), pacemakers, or immunosuppressants.
Emergency Contact: Label primary contacts with the universal abbreviation ICE alongside a phone number (e.g., ICE: 555-123-4567). For individuals prone to wandering (such as those with autism or Alzheimer’s), use IF LOST CALL [Phone #].
Reference to Further Details: If you have an extensive medical history, engrave SEE WALLET CARD or consider a USB bracelet rather than overcrowding the tag.
Full Name: Include your name only if space remains after listing your core conditions, critical medications, and emergency contact.
Best Practices for Wear
Placement: Wear the bracelet on your left wrist, where first responders routinely check for a pulse. Do not obscure it beneath a watch or fitness tracker.
Bracelet vs. Necklace: Bracelets offer the highest visibility during initial triage. Necklaces serve well as secondary backups, particularly for high-risk conditions.
These are suggestions only and aren’t medical advice.
