Metal name plates
Engraved metal name plates and equipment tags for OEM projects.
Produce stainless steel name plates, brass labels, serial number plates and equipment tags with engraving, adhesive backing or mounting holes.
Industrial marking
Durable plates for machines, tools and branded equipment.
Use engraved metal plates for OEM labels, warning plates, serial tags, product badges and industrial identification. Equipment nameplates and equipment data plates usually need stronger material decisions than uniform name badges because they may be mounted to tools, machines, control boxes or outdoor equipment.
- Material and marking process are confirmed against the use environment.
- Digital printing, raised and recessed details can be reviewed.
- PSD, PDF and other available artwork files can be checked.
- Typical starting MOQ: 100 pieces per design, subject to process.
- About 7 days for a sample and about 15 days for bulk production after approval.
Specification planning
Prepare equipment name plates with the data installers need.
Clear information reduces sampling changes and helps production match the drawing.
Material and Finish
Stainless steel works for corrosion resistance, aluminum helps control weight, and brass gives a warmer premium finish. Brushed metal name plates can be engraved, printed or filled depending on contrast requirements.
Mounting Method
Confirm screw holes, rivet holes, adhesive backing, rounded corners and hole-to-edge distance before quoting. For adhesive equipment name plates, share the surface material and use environment.
Variable Data
Equipment data plates can include serial numbers, model fields, QR codes, warning text and batch data. Send Excel data if each plate needs unique information.
