Metal Plaques

Heavy metal plaques can be manufactured in Stainless steel or Brass, for attractive presentation of property gates, building openings, statues or monuments.

Plates can be cut to any size and supplied with mounting holes, ready to be bolted into place. Here at Crown we manufacture metal plaques using a variety of methods including deep-cut engraving, laser engraving, cast metal or diamond drag engraved. For more information about these engraving types and how they differ, try our Technical Information page.

Stainless steel is argubly the most durable material to be used when looking at signmaking options, with the ability to resist staining and corrision, it will maintain its sleek, professional look for decades to come. We can provide either deep cut or laser engraved stainless steel plaques in almost any size or thickness, supplied with or without mounting holes.

An engraved brass plaque is a much more traditional way of signmaking, and has been a popular way of making plaques for decades. Brass and Bronze plaques are softer than stainless steel and provide a much more traditional feel, popular with ships, bridges, farm gates and memorials. Brass plaques can also be cast, which produces a plaque in ‘reverse’ to an engraved type in that the letters are raised and the background lowered. Cast plaques are normally a lot thicker and heavier, and as such are generally more expensive. When casting a plaque, Brass can be substituted for Bronze if required.
