# Powerfully Designed Dog Collars ALU Collars Are Crafted From Aluminum and Features NFC Technology By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2015-09-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alu-collars References: [coolpetproducts](http://www.coolpetproducts.com/pet-products/alu-collars-kickstarter-campaign-for-beautifully-designed-cn.html) & [memapets](http://www.memapets.com) Traditional dog collars are sure to look much older once you take a gander at the beautifully designed ALU Collars, which are crafted from exquisitely luxe materials. As the name would denote, ALU Collars feature a CNC machined aluminum clasp that is fiercely strong, so you won't have to worry about it breaking. The remainder of ALU Collars is made from cork and hemp, which are naturally antimicrobial to ensure it will stay fresh wear after wear. One of the most amazing features of ALU Collars is the incorporation of NFC technology, which will allow you to digitally register the collar with a message of your choosing, so if your puppy runs away then those who find him or her will be able to get them home sooner than ever. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Dog Accessories:** There is an opportunity for the creation of luxury dog accessories that combine style and function such as high-end dog collars. - **Nfc-enabled Pet Accessories:** Integrating NFC technology into pet accessories, such as collars or ID tags, provides an added layer of protection and security for pets. - **Eco-friendly Pet Products:** Eco-friendly and sustainable pet products are becoming increasingly popular as pet owners become more environmentally conscious and seek out eco-friendly options for their pets. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Pet Retail:** Pet retailers can capitalize on the demand for luxury pet accessories by curating a selection of high-end products like ALU Collars. - **Technology:** Technology companies can explore opportunities in creating pet-related products with advanced technology integration like NFC-enabled pet accessories. - **Sustainability:** Sustainable and eco-friendly companies can expand their offerings to meet the increasing demand for environmentally friendly pet products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tracker-Friendly Dog Collars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nina-woof-dog-collar.md) - [Escape-Proof Dog Collar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halo-collar-1.md) - [AI-Driven Dog Collars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aidriven-dog-collars.md) - [AI-Powered Dog Collars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halo-collar.md) - [Pet Safety Collars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-safety.md) - [AI-Powered Dog Collars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fi-series-3-plus.md) - [Biometric GPS Canine Collars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invoxia-smart-dog-collar.md) - [AI-Powered Dog Collars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petpace-health-20.md) - [Aluminum-Based Dog Crates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impact-dog-crates.md)
