Abstract: Systems and methods for securing an information tag to metal structures during and after the galvanization process are described that permit fluids used during galvanization to flow through and around the tag holder. A system embodiment includes, but is not limited to, a tag body defining one or more funnel structures, the funnel structure extending outwardly from the tag body to provide a welding surface for securing the tag body to the metal structure while permitting fluid flow between the tag body and the metal structure to permit fluids during galvanization of the metal structure and tag body to flow therebetween; and one or more lips extending from the tag body and forming one or more tag holding regions into which an edge of the informational tag can be inserted to hold the tag against the tag body and to prevent the tag from sliding out from the tag holder.
