Embossed Nameplates

Embossed Nameplates combine durability with one of the most impressive design features we offer, making your company logo stand out – literally! Add your logo, trademarks, stylized or block type, as well as one or two colors with standard or custom options. This aluminum nameplate offers the greatest flexibility in nameplate design and with hundreds of available sizes, chances are we’ll have just the size you need.

Embossed Nameplates require special tooling that sandwiches the plate between the custom die, resulting in your unique design raised on the aluminum. We use UV curable inks and a clear coat that provides protection against damaging UV rays while screen printing maximizes registration accuracy and resolution allowing for crisp, clear reproduction of company logos and designs.

Embossed nameplates come with a standard foam adhesive that bonds extremely well to most surfaces including irregular surfaces. Optional holes available for mechanical fasteners, or a combination of adhesive and holes may be used.
