Engraved Nameplates
Engraved nameplates are plates or plaques that are engraved with a name or title on the front. Engraved nameplates can be used to display personal names, product names, job titles, or other information. They tend to be mounted on doors, walls, cubicles, shelves, or desktops, and are available in a wide range of colors, sizes, and styles.
For engraved nameplates, the names are etched into the material through various methods. Some common processes include mechanical engraving, laser engraving, whittling, and photo-chemical etching. Depending on need, nameplates can be engraved to very close tolerances.
Common materials used for engraved nameplates include titanium, zinc, brass, copper, stainless steel, aluminum, and bronze. Engraved nameplates can also be specially finished to withstand harsh operating or environmental conditions, as in the industrial sector. Although they are available in several sizes and shapes, the most popular size for engraved nameplates is 2 inches x 8 inches.
Engraved nameplate manufacturers can offer a variety of different nameplates for a wide range of applications. Features that vary from application to application include material, thickness, fastener options, custom graphics, etching, anodizing, adhesive backing, UL and CSA approval, serialization, and embossing.
