Make It Personal offers three products. All of them precision-engrave your name and finish time. All of them ship worldwide for free. The question is which format is right for your medal, your budget, and how you want to display it.
Here's the breakdown.
The itab - $14.99
The original. A precision-engraved microsurfaced acrylic tag (60mm x 20mm x 0.5mm) that attaches directly onto the back of your medal using 3M high-stick adhesive.
Who it's for: Runners whose race event is an official Make It Personal partner. The itab is designed to fit the specific engraved recess on the back of partner event medals. If your event is listed, this is the most seamless option, it sits flush with the medal, perfectly completing the original design.
What it includes: Personalised name and finish time engraved on microsurfaced acrylic. Auto-matched colour to your medal.
Application: Peel and stick. Permanent 3M adhesive. Takes 30 seconds.
Weight: 2g.
Not suitable for: Medals without a designated itab recess. If your event isn't listed, go with the itab plus or itab max instead.
The itab plus - $16.99
The itab plus is a medal hanger and engraved itab combined into one product. The hanger is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, threads onto your medal ribbon, and positions the engraved itab centred above your medal.
Who it's for: Runners who want a universal option that works with any medal from any race. The itab plus doesn't need a recess, it attaches via the ribbon, making it compatible with 100% of medals, including medals from past events.
What it includes: Engraved itab with name and finish time, plus recycled plastic ribbon hanger.
Colours: Black, Red, Silver, Gold
Application: Thread hanger through ribbon, no adhesive needed.
Weight: 2-4g.
Best for: Runners who want a clean, universal option at an accessible price point. The itab plus sits visibly above the medal rather than behind it, which makes it a natural display piece.
The itab max - $19.99
The itab max is the premium tier. The hanger is 100% recycled zinc alloy. It’s heavier, scratch-resistant, and built to last as long as the medal itself. It includes your race distance engraved and is available in the widest colour range.
Who it's for: Runners who want the most complete, high-quality keepsake. The itab max is designed for permanent display, it's the product you'd give as a premium gift or buy for the race that mattered most.
What it includes: Engraved itab with name, finish time, and distance, plus zinc alloy ribbon hanger.
Colours: Black, white, orange, rose gold, silver, gold, red, blue, yellow.
Application: Thread through ribbon.
Weight: 6-8g: up to 4x heavier than the itab plus, which adds satisfying physical presence when worn or displayed.
Best for: A race that deserves the best version of this memory. Goal races, first marathons, personal bests, major events.

Which should you choose?
Choose the itab if: your race is a listed partner event and you want the most integrated, flush-fit option.
Choose the itab plus if: your event isn't listed, you want something universal, or you're ordering for an older medal.
Choose the itab max if: this is the race you want to remember most, you want the premium version, or you're buying it as a gift.
All three ship worldwide for free. All three are precision-engraved. The only question is which format fits your medal and how much of a statement you want to make.
