Casting A Silver Paw Pet Tag: The Lost Wax Foundry Process In Maine

We cast our very own ID tags at this foundry here in western Maine. As you can see from the video, it is a very labor intensive process involving many steps. We're so proud to be keeping our operations here in the US. This foundry supports some 20 employees who all take their jobs very seriously and do a detail oriented, quality job.
