Aluminum keeps a nameplate light and resists corrosion without the cost of stainless, and anodizing opens up color options etching alone can’t match. Himgo cuts these from 5052 or 6061 sheet for brands and manufacturers who want a distinct look without added weight.

FAQ

Which aluminum grade holds up well for a curved panel, 5052 or 6061?

5052 forms around curves without cracking; 6061 suits flat panels that need more rigidity.

Can anodized aluminum be matched to a specific color reference?

Yes, send a Pantone or RAL reference and we match the anodizing dye as closely as the process allows.

Does anodizing change how laser engraving looks on the surface?

Yes, engraving through an anodized layer exposes the bare aluminum underneath, giving strong contrast against the color.

Is aluminum a good choice for nameplates near salt water?

Aluminum resists general corrosion, but 316 stainless holds up better under constant salt spray. Salt-spray testing is available on request.

Can aluminum nameplates be trimmed to an irregular shape?

Yes, send your outline as a vector file and we cut to that profile.
