Fabricated or solid, with dimensional, acid etched, or vinyl graphics and lettering
We fabricate our Plaques backgrounds in traditional or custom shapes and then apply our dimensional lettering, or etching with paint fill, all according to customer specifications. Alternatively you can order our custom fabricated blanks and apply your own vinyl, engraving or silk screening. We also water-jet cut graphics out of the plaque face for insertion of complementary or contrasting materials. Our custom fabricated plaques offer the ability to combine materials and finishes, providing design flexibility, higher perceived value and quality while increasing your profit margins. Our plaques use less material and thus are lighter in weight, making them easier to install and more cost effective to manufacture and ship. Since all components are custom fabricated, we eliminate the set-up charges typically associated with cast plaques
Benefits:
- 100% custom for maximum design flexibility
- Cost savings up to 40% over solid cast plaques
- Light weight for easy installation and less expensive shipping
