Built for Practical Use
Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminium, our plates offer low weight (2.7 g/cm³) with good dimensional stability. Our ISO 9001:2015 compliant production ensures consistent print and color accuracy, making them suitable for both prototypes and high-volume series.
Industrial Print Technology
Graphics are applied directly onto prepared surfaces using UV-resistant screen printing for strong contrast (from batches of 50 pieces), or full-colour CMYK digital printing for detailed graphics, gradients, and complex visuals (available from just 1 piece).
Versatile Surface Finishes
Available in brushed or matte styles to reduce glare, or anodized and decorative finishes for enhanced appearance and durability in demanding environments.
Enhanced Protective Coating
An optional transparent clear coating provides improved resistance to abrasion, cleaning agents, and UV exposure, ensuring reliability for frequent handling.
Technical Specifications
Custom Features & Finishing Options
We offer specialized customization options to ensure your aluminium nameplates meet exact industrial specifications. From variable data to precise physical dimensions, we tailor every aspect to your branding requirements.
Variable Material Thickness
Versatile options typically ranging from 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm, allowing for flexibility on curved surfaces or rigidity for flat panels. Cutting tolerance ±0.1 mm — laser cutting or CNC milling to customer drawing.
Advanced Data Integration
We incorporate logos, serial numbers, variable data, and QR codes directly into the design for complete asset tracking and regulatory compliance.
Precision Edge Finishing
Manufactured with safe, burr-free edges and optional rounded corners, ensuring professional aesthetics and injury-free handling during installation.
Flexible Mounting Adaptability
Choose from laser-accurate drilled holes for screws/rivets or industrial-strength high-bond adhesive (e.g., 3M) for permanent surface attachment.
Manufacturing Excellence
Quality Assurance & Standards
ISO 9001:2015 Certified
ISO 9001:2015 compliant production ensures rigorous quality control and reliability for every industrial batch. Every order passes three-stage inspection: incoming material check (mill certificate), in-process check (dimensions and surface), and outgoing check (visual and dimensional inspection).
Scalable Production Capacity
Flexible manufacturing solutions suitable for initial prototypes, small series, and high-volume production runs — we fulfil orders from 1 piece up to 100,000 pieces per year.
Visual Consistency
Advanced technology guarantees consistent print and color accuracy, ensuring sharp and uniform branding across all units.
Optimized Application Setup
We analyze your specifications to recommend the optimal production setup tailored to your specific application.
