Built for Industrial Durability
For applications where visibility is critical, SITAPRESS uses a combined process of deep chemical etching followed by industrial screen printing. The color is protected inside the recessed marking, ensuring long-term readability even under abrasion, frequent cleaning, and outdoor exposure.
Premium Alloy Grades:
We utilize AISI 304 and 316 stainless steel to provide excellent resistance against corrosion, moisture, and chemical agents in harsh industrial environments.
Indelible Etch Depth:
Text and symbols are deep-etched into the steel and filled with durable industrial ink, ensuring markings remain legible even when covered in oil, grease, or debris.
Precision Finishing & Safety:
Our precision finishing ensures burr-free smooth edges and rounded corners for safe and injury-free industrial handling.
Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities
Tailor-Made Precision: Customization Options
Advanced Surface Finishes:
Choose from industrial Brushed (Satin), Super Mirror Finish, or Matte finishes.. These specialized textures minimize glare and optimize contrast, ensuring brand visibility and data readability under specific factory or outdoor lighting conditions.
Variable Material Thickness:
We offer a comprehensive thickness range from 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm. This allows you to select the precise rigidity needed for applications ranging from flexible curved pipe markers to heavy-duty structural equipment panels.
High-Definition Hybrid Printing:
For complex specifications, we combine Deep Chemical Etching with industrial Screen Printing. This hybrid approach perfectly integrates intricate multi-color logos, consecutive serialization, and high-density QR codes with permanent durability.
Advanced Mounting Adaptability:
Secure your plates using precision-drilled mounting holes for mechanical fasteners (rivets/screws) or utilize industrial-strength 3M high-bond adhesive for a reliable, drill-free permanent attachment on any surface substrate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a stainless steel nameplate used for?
Stainless steel nameplates are used for permanent industrial identification on machinery, equipment, and products. Common applications include equipment rating plates, serial number plates, CE marking panels, safety labels, and scale plates for oil and gas, food processing, pharmaceutical, marine, and machinery manufacturing industries.
What is the difference between AISI 304 and AISI 316 stainless steel?
AISI 304 is cost-effective and corrosion resistant for standard industrial environments. AISI 316 contains molybdenum, giving it significantly higher resistance to chlorides, saltwater, and aggressive chemicals. For marine, offshore, food processing, or outdoor applications, AISI 316 is the recommended choice.
What customisation options are available for stainless steel nameplates?
All SITAPRESS stainless steel nameplates are fully custom. You can specify material grade (AISI 304 or 316), dimensions, thickness (0.5mm to 3.0mm), surface finish (brushed, mirror, matte, satin), marking method (chemical etching or screen printing), and mounting type (drilled holes or 3M adhesive).
How are stainless steel nameplates manufactured?
SITAPRESS manufactures stainless steel nameplates using deep chemical etching and industrial screen printing. Chemical etching creates permanently recessed markings that resist abrasion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. Material thickness ranges from 0.5mm to 3.0mm depending on application requirements.
Are SITAPRESS stainless steel nameplates ISO certified?
Yes. SITAPRESS is ISO 9001:2015 certified. All stainless steel nameplates are manufactured under a certified quality management system, ensuring consistent quality for both small custom batches and large-volume production runs.
The Sitapress production process is certified according to ISO9001:2015
