Materials for your custom nameplate
Choosing a material that can last for years in your custom nameplate’s environment is important, which is why we always take the time to truly understand where and how your nameplate will be used before beginning the project. Here are a few materials we often use:
- Aluminum: Aluminum nameplates can be used with multiple finishes and are durable and scratch-resistant.
- Stainless steel: Stainless steel offers a strong, long-lasting nameplate option that can be combined with multiple treatments and finishes.
