Name plates in brass (yellow copper) are the most classic in our range, but remain popular. These require maintenance on a regular basis with copper polish to keep the beautiful shine. In addition to brass, you can also have your name plate made in red copper. This type of material has the unique effect that it deliberately oxidizes, causing it to turn greenish. For the finishing of an copper nameplate you can choose between mat (brushed) and shiny (polished). Coloring of the engraving takes place in the color(s) of your choice. Mounting these nameplates is usually done with glue or with ornamental screws.

What information is required to request a quotation or order for a nameplate?
If you already have an idea of the specifications of your nameplate, it would be helpful to include this information in your request. This may include the following information:
- material
- format
- text and any logos
- colours to be used
- mounting method
- any special finishing
If you are not yet sure which direction you want to go, we can always advise you by telephone, e-mail or when you visit our showroom, where you can view sample plates.
In which file formats should I submit my designs?
In general, we can start working directly with a vector file saved as .pdf, .ai or .eps. In exceptional cases, high-resolution .jpeg or .png files are also usable. The better the quality of the supplied design, the better the engraving and the end result will be.
Don't have a design in your possession? No problem. We can always create a design (with supplement).
What is the best way to attach a self-adhesive nameplate?
Self-adhesive nameplates are supplied as standard with a double-sided adhesive strip. By removing the outer strip, the nameplate can be stuck to a flat surface. For rough or uneven surfaces, a foam tape can be applied, which can be placed with additional use of silicone or Tec7. Cleaning and degreasing the surface is strongly recommended before placing, as this ensures a stronger bond.
In which colours can I get my engraving?
Engravings can be painted in any desired RAL colour. We offer a number of standard colours for colouring the engraving. Specific colours are of course possible, but at an additional cost. Please note that gradual colour transitions cannot be achieved with painting. For this we are happy to offer a printed plate.
How do I maintain my brass nameplate?
Brass oxidizes due to weather conditions and oxygen. This makes it important to maintain the plate every two or three months with copper polish, for example HG copper polish. Be sure to remove the copper polish from the engraving, otherwise it may discolour. With a horizontally brushed nameplate, it is important to respect the brush direction.
Is a brass nameplate the same as a copper nameplate?
These terms are often used interchangeably. The nameplates we offer as standard are made of brass or yellow copper (this is an alloy of copper and zinc). We also offer red copper (non-alloyed copper) or cast bronze (alloy of copper and tin) nameplates.
What is a 'patinated' brass nameplate?
With a 'patinated' nameplate, the brass plate is sandblasted and then patinated. The metal reacts with the applied patina, giving the plate its dark oxidized appearance. Please note that the result is always unpredictable, meaning that no plate can achieve a 100% identical finish.
What is the difference between a bronze cast nameplate and a brass patinated nameplate?
Both types of nameplates have a dark finish. In bronze cast nameplates, molten metal (bronze) is poured into a mold and then sanded down to the desired result. In brass patinated nameplates, a patina is applied to the brass nameplate, which gives it a dark oxidized appearance. A bronze cast nameplate is also thicker and heavier than a brass nameplate.
