Metal Rating Plates
A rating plate carries the regulatory numbers a machine must display — voltage, current, power, pressure, or capacity — not just a maker’s name. Himgo produces these to the exact data and layout your compliance documents call for.
- 304/316 stainless or aluminum, 0.3–3 mm
- Etched, engraved, or printed data fields
- Sizes 80x40mm to 150x100mm
- MOQ 100–500 pcs by complexity
- Sample lead time usually 5–7 days
Materials & finishes
| Option | Choices |
|---|---|
| Material | 304/316 stainless, aluminum 5052/6061, or brass |
| Thickness | 0.3–3 mm |
| Size | 80x40mm, 100x60mm, 120x80mm, 150x100mm, or custom to your drawing |
| Finish | matte or brushed base for legibility, painted background for contrast |
| Marking/Process | chemical etching, laser engraving, screen printing, or stamping |
| Mounting | 3M adhesive, drilled holes, rivets, or screws |
| Variable data | voltage, current, power, pressure, capacity, or serial per unit |
Etching or engraving keeps rating data legible for the equipment’s full service life; screen printing suits indoor units with lighter duty cycles.
Typical buyers & uses
- Electrical panel builders — listing voltage, current, and frequency per their compliance documents.
- Appliance manufacturers — printing wattage and rated output before a unit ships.
- Pump and compressor builders — marking pressure and flow capacity on the housing.
- Motor manufacturers — stamping rated output and duty cycle for each unit.
Size & price reference
| Example spec | Ref US$/pc |
|---|---|
| 80x40mm aluminum, printed voltage/current data | $0.18–0.22 |
| 100x60mm stainless, etched multi-field rating data | $0.31–0.37 |
| 150x100mm stainless, engraved rating table + serial | $0.46–0.53 |
Indicative only. Final price depends on the number of data fields, marking method, and quantity.

FAQ
Can one plate list voltage, current, and frequency together?
Yes, send your full data table and we lay out all fields on one plate.
Do you certify the rating data as compliant?
We mark exactly the data and layout you supply. Certification and compliance sign-off remain your documents, not ours.
Can each plate in a batch carry different capacity or serial data?
Yes, send a spreadsheet of per-unit values and we mark each plate to match.
Will printed rating data stay legible after years near a hot motor?
Etched or engraved marks hold up better than printed ink under sustained heat.
What is the difference between a rating plate and an equipment nameplate?
A rating plate carries regulatory figures like voltage or pressure. A nameplate identifies the machine itself — maker, model, serial.
