I'm not sure who makes these, but these are absolutely the best value collars I've ever seen. As far as I can tell, they last forever. The entire collar is cheaper than a good ID tag, so when your info changes you just buy new collars.
My experience with Gun Dog Supply's economy collars is largely at work, on the sheep ranch. There are tons of these kicking around, and I've never seen one fail. Some have been around for years and years and years. We've left them on goats for months at a time. The working dogs wear them through heavy brush, barbed wire, and dips in the water tubs. The collars stay on, they don't get caught on stuff, and the engraving stays readable.
I have some leatherworking background that tells me these aren't the most high-quality collars on the market. The little roller buckles and tubular rivets are inexpensive, but they get the job done.

- Inexpensive
- Super durable
- Comes with free engraved ID plate
- Low profile, minimal hardware reduces the chance of getting snagged on obstacles
Cons
- Lack of extra keeper means loose end flops around if your dog is on the smaller end of the size range
Bottom Line
If you want an inexpensive collar that will never fade or stretch, and will last forever, this is your best bet.
