[QUOTE="Tag Man, post: 823580, member: 13630"] Thanks to everyone who submitted their testimonial this past winter! Many of you have already received your free tags, however we still have a few left to process. Feel free to contact me directly ([email=kerry.moncur@ztags.com]kerry.moncur@ztags.com[/email]) if you have any questions or don't receive your tags within the next 2 weeks. OK, sorry to hijack the thread there! What the OP asked was if anyone has seen/used the new "A" tag. The new A tag is from another company that many of you may or may not know. It's basically a knock-off of the original Z Tag that's been proven in the market for over 20 years. And, while it make look similar, there are a few differences: First off, all Z Tags 1pc tags are made in Fort Collins, CO and proudly display the US flag on the packaging. The "A" tag is made somewhere in China. Second, even though some of us consider Z Tags to be the greatest thing since sliced bread, the tag is only half of the equation. The applicator is truly what makes a Z Tag work as well as it does. Have you noticed how many tag applicators these days have a flip-out style pin? Well, we were the first to introduce that feature back in 1990. We're flattered that others have recently followed suit! But that's not all there is to perfecting the application system. A lot of engineering went into the design of the Z Tags applicator, so much in fact, both it and the tags are patented here in the US and around the world. Third, if you look closely at the tip of a Z Tag, you'll notice the sharp point and its distinctive four edges. These four edges allow the tip to make an incision while penetrating the ear. This leaves four small flaps of tissue that heal up quite nicely. On the other hand, all other brands of tags use a tip that's about as sharp as an ink pen. It's only the sheer leverage of the applicator that allows it to rip through the animals ear creating a puncture wound that leaves a very jagged edge which does not heal quickly and, may actually promote infections. Once these other brands of tags are in the ear, they continue to aggravate the torn tissue as the animal moves and tend to waller out the hole until it is big enough for the tag to pull through. So there's the official "Z Tags marketing guy" response.
