Printed Aluminum Nameplates
Screen-printed aluminum nameplates carrying multi-color logos and graphics, protected by a clear coat or light anodizing.
Description
Multi-color logos and graphics don’t etch or engrave well; ink carries color better than a cut line. Screen printing lays down solid, sharp color on an aluminum plate. A clear coat or light anodizing then protects the print. This route suits brand marks, warning graphics, and any label with more than one color. Digital printing suits shorter runs; screen printing holds up better across a large batch. Either way, the ink sits under a clear layer that keeps the color from rubbing off.
Sizes & thickness
Standard formats run 80x40mm to 150x100mm. Thinner 0.3-1mm plates keep printed labels lightweight.
Metals and finishes
Matte, brushed, or coated aluminum as the base. Screen or digital printing carries the graphic, with anodizing optional as a protective layer.
