Metal Nameplates & Anodized Aluminum Plates

Full-color print on black anodized aluminum for plates that live outdoors, on hot equipment or in the yard.

Applications › Identification & Branding

When a plastic plate is not enough, anodized aluminum takes the heat, the sun and the abuse. We print directly on 0.040 in black anodized aluminum with a selective white underbase so logos and legends stay bright, then cut holes or apply adhesive. For permanent marks that have to outlast ink, laser engraving is available on the same plate.

Typical examples

  • Outdoor equipment ID plates
  • Nameplates on compressors, pumps and generators
  • Control cabinet plates in plants
  • Vehicle and trailer data plates
  • Laser-engraved serial plates
