Metal nameplates are used where longevity, durability, and permanence are required. Whether identifying equipment, tracking assets, or marking compliance information, metal plates stay readable and attached through years of use—indoors or outdoors, in factories, construction sites, or marine environments.
Compared with standard stickers, metal plates resist heat, chemicals, impact, and abrasion, making them ideal for demanding environments. As a factory, we provide full customization from material and thickness to printing and mounting methods.

Q: What’s the difference between printed and engraved nameplates?
A: Engraved or stamped plates are more permanent and abrasion-proof. Printed nameplates (UV or anodized) allow for color and detail but require protective layers.
Q: Can I use these plates outdoors or in factories?
A: Yes. We offer aluminum and stainless steel options with excellent resistance to weather, oil, heat, and chemical exposure.
Q: Can I include logos, serial numbers, or barcodes?
A: Absolutely. We support variable data (serials, codes) and custom layouts, including engraved or printed logos and machine info.
Q: How are the plates attached?
A: We provide adhesive backing, screw holes, or custom-cut slots depending on how and where you plan to mount them.
