Etched metal nameplates are more durable than a screen-printed nameplate. Etching is a process by which a chemical is used to remove (etch) targeted areas of a particular metal. These etched areas can then be filled with colorful enamels and baked for a lasting permanence. Because this paint is below the surface of the etched metal nameplate, it is less susceptible to abrasion and dramatically increases visual contrast.
Unlike traditional printing methods, our etching process permanently bonds the design to the metal, creating a nameplate that endures:
- Harsh Environments: Extreme cold, rain and other tough industrial conditions.
- Abrasion and wear: Scratches or scrapes won’t damage the embedded design.
- Fading and chemicals: Resistant to fading in sunlight and harsh chemicals.
The most common materials used for etched metal nameplates are aluminum, stainless steel, and brass. Etched metal nameplates can be found on many industrial, commercial, and consumer products including:
- Food Service Equipment
- Industrial Machinery
- Drilling/Mining Equipment
- Pumps/Valves/Motors
