- https://soufeel.com/collections/engraved-necklaces Pre engraved engravable tags do not take long to create, but they are not as durable as the magnetic ones. For these types, you will need to add a pre-drilled hole to the tag, and then add your text. You can engrave the name using either a hot iron or a laser engraving device. For the pre-drilled holes, you can purchase the pre-made holes from the hardware store. However, if you want to make your own, you will need to find a piece of metal and drill the right size hole.
