The inventive tag comprises upper and lower shells which house an electronic member therebetween. The shells are assembled to one another by means of laser welding. The upper shell comprises at least two elements which are assembled such as to extend axially from one another, said elements including a dark base element which serves as an obstacle to the laser beam and a brightly-coloured top element which renders the tag visible.
