Etched Nameplates

PhotoEtch’s Stainless Steel and Brass NamePlates offer a superior solution for permanent labeling needs.

Stainless Steel Nameplates

Made from 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel, these plates boast remarkable resistance to corrosion, extreme temperatures, and various chemicals. Additionally, they exhibit exceptional strength, are easy to clean, and possess an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Marking Methods

Our stainless steel plates are produced using a chemical etching process that removes material to create sharp, permanent designs embedded into the metal surface. This method allows for fine detail, consistent results, and clean edges without distortion or tool marks. Etched areas can be filled with enamel paint in single or multiple colours, with PMS colour matching available for accurate branding. Because the design sits below the surface, it offers excellent durability and resistance to wear, abrasion, chipping, and scratching — far outperforming surface-printed alternatives.

Gauges / Grades

Our metal plates are available in a range of gauges, from 0.5mm to 3mm, we only use 316 Stainless Steel for superior quality. The choice of thickness depends on the intended application and specific needs.

Shapes & Sizes

Based on your material selection, our plates can be cut out, pressed out, or laser cut. We offer an extensive selection of standard press tool shapes and can also create custom press tools to match your unique designs. Additionally, we provide finishing options like corner cropping and punching of various sized holes to further customise your plates.
