Aluminium Nameplates Overview

One of our most popular products, aluminium badges and nameplates are hardwearing and eye-catching, with a range of finishes available. Their durable nature means they are perfect for harsh environments, while still offering a cost-effective solution for all labelling requirements.

APPLICATION

Our metallic badges and nameplates are an incredibly versatile solution, as we have a range of different processes and materials available. From bespoke stamping of aluminium sheeting, to injecting molten metal alloys into steel cavity tools, our experienced team will work with you to create the most suitable labelling and badging for your products.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

aluminium nameplates step 1

Step 1

We print your design onto the chosen base material. The most popular solution is aluminium.

Other material options such as brass and zinc are available. We use the latest printing methods, from traditional dye-based anodising to high resolution digital and litho techniques, and can colour match to the majority of recognised colour systems. We can also include sequential numbering or bar coding.

Step 2

Your metallic badge or nameplate is stamped out, followed by application of the adhesive and chosen finish.

We offer a large range of finishes, including brushed, spun, matt or polished. Diamond cutting and embossing can add to the detail and visual impact. To compliment the hardwearing durability of our metallic labelling solutions we can add either mechanical or self-adhesive fixing options.

Die Casting

Our extensive range of processes also includes Die Casting, where a molten metal alloy is poured in a steel tool.

The bespoke steel tool, or mould, can be used to add any texture that is required on your badge or nameplate. The molten metal alloy is forced into the tool, which remains cool, so the label solidifies almost as soon as the mould is filled. Finishes, diamond cutting and adhesives can then be added as required.

Diamond Cut

Give your badges an eye-catching, detailed finish with our diamond cutting service.

This incredibly accurate technique allows intricate detail to be added to our badges and nameplates. It is also a great way to add a ‘jewel like’ finish to enhance the visual impact of your labelling solution.
