1. A marker device for displaying personalized information on a container, the marker device comprising:
a marker plate comprising a metal and having a first side and a second side with at least one message on at least one of the first side or the second side and having a thickness, the marker plate further comprising a protrusion on the first side to identify the first side from the second side of the marker plate, wherein a formation of the protrusion on one side of the marker plate forms an indention on the second side of the marker plate;
a marker housing that is attachable to a container, the marker housing comprising a base having a first side and a second side and perimeter walls extending upward from the first side of the base to form a marker receiving station, the first side of the marker housing comprising an indentation and the first side of the base comprising a flat planar surface that extends from around the indentation to the perimeter walls; and
a housing magnet positioned in the indentation of the first side of the base of the marker housing configured to hold the marker plate in the marker receiving station of the marker housing within the perimeter walls, the housing magnet having a magnetic field strength of between about 120 millitesla (mT) to about 140 mT; and
the marker plate being insertable into the marker receiving station of the marker housing and held therein by the housing magnet and the marker plate being adapted to be removable from the marker receiving station of the marker housing using a removal tool that has a puller magnet therein with a stronger magnetic field strength than a magnetic field strength of the housing magnet, wherein the puller magnet has a magnetic field strength of greater than about 140 mT.
