Aluminum Plaques Fabrication
You can choose from many alloys of aluminum for the base of your plaque. Next, we can manufacture the plaque design using several techniques, like:
- CNC precision tooling
- Etching
- Laser engraving
- Embossing
We utilize cutting-edge computerized CNC milling machines to take or carve away any extra metal, which is subsequently recycled. This allows for extreme precision. During etching, your plaque’s design is cut into a chemical-resistant mask that is then put onto aluminum, which is immersed in a substance that eats away at the exposed metal. Advanced laser engraving burns the design into aluminum. Embossing presses and stamps it into the surface, resulting in a fast production rate—ideal for large orders.
After, the plaque can be finished, anodized, and painted once the design has been applied to it.
Custom Personalized Aluminum Plaques
All aluminum plaques come with a typical brushed grain finish. You can opt to paint the raised aluminum portions to match your branding or select a polished aluminum finish. For a plaque that is truly unique, you may also select from a variety of backdrop textures and colors. Background textures include leatherette, sand, stipple, and smooth.
Which aluminum plaque style, text, and font are right for you can be determined by whether your design calls for raised or recessed lettering. Our precision tooling works equally well for both types of lettering, whereas recessed text is often produced by engraving. You can select any font or give us your custom font.
We offer all sorts of mounting options: surface mounts, post mounts, and garden stake mounts. Post mounts also include post cap mounts. Wall mounts include blind mounts, solid wall mounts, hollow wall mounts, and wood mounts.
