Nameplates

For an attractive, durable finish, text detail is sealed within the grain of the aluminium.

The aluminium is electrically charged within a sulphuric acid solution which forces the surface to oxidise in a controlled manner and opens the pores.

Ink is then either silkscreen printed or digitally printed into the pores before the aluminium is sealed to provide a hard-wearing finish.

This popular type of nameplate is widely used across many industries, including electronics and assembly, industrial equipment and machine control panels.

A more traditional solution, again these can be etched and infilled or screen printed.

The plates are lacquered for outdoor applications and provide a long-lasting finish.

They are also all available in a range of thicknesses and can be supplied with either self-adhesive tape or fixing holes.

Printed onto polycarbonate, polyester or acrylic, these provide a durable finish as the text is visible through the material itself.

Acrylic nameplates can be produced on material up to 10mm thick and are laser cut to size to give a good ‘polished’ finish to the edges.

These can be digitally printed for low-volume requirements and, with the laser cutting option, tooling is not required.

Available in a range of materials and finishes, these represent a permanent marking solution; a very durable option for harsh environments and applications, such as construction or offshore.

They are produced by chemically etching the customer-specified detail from the surface of the material. This is then infilled, with customers requested colour, to provide contrast for ease of reading.
