Stainless steel nameplates hold up where weather, washdown, or salt air would eat through aluminum or painted tags. Himgo cuts these in 304 or 316 grade for buyers who need an ID plate to outlast the equipment it is mounted on.

  • 304 or 316 stainless, 0.3–3 mm
  • Brushed, matte, or mirror finish
  • Sizes 80x40mm to 150x100mm
  • MOQ 100–500 pcs by complexity
  • Sample lead time usually 5–7 days

Materials & finishes

Option Choices
Material 304 stainless (general purpose) or 316 stainless (chloride resistant)
Thickness 0.3–3 mm
Size 80x40mm, 100x60mm, 120x80mm, 150x100mm, or custom to your drawing
Finish brushed, matte, mirror, painted, or plated
Marking/Process chemical etching, laser engraving, screen printing, or stamping
Mounting 3M adhesive, drilled holes, rivets, or screws

Choose 316 for marine or washdown environments; 304 covers general indoor and outdoor use where budget matters more than salt exposure.

Typical buyers & uses

  • Marine equipment makers — 316 grade tags that resist saltwater spray.
  • Food and beverage plants — tagging equipment near washdown and cleaning chemicals.
  • Utility and infrastructure companies — plates exposed to weather for years without replacement.
  • Tank and pressure vessel fabricators — a tag that outlasts the vessel’s service life.

FAQ

Should I choose 304 or 316 stainless for my nameplate?

304 suits general indoor and outdoor use. 316 costs more but resists chlorides better near coastlines or washdown areas.

How long does a stainless nameplate last outdoors before it shows wear?

Etched or engraved marks on 316 stay legible for years outdoors; painted marks fade sooner under direct sun.

Can stainless plates handle washdown chemicals in a food processing plant?

316 stainless holds up well under routine washdown; confirm your specific cleaning chemicals if exposure is constant.

What is the difference between brushed and mirror finish for readability?

Brushed reduces glare under plant lighting; mirror looks sharper but shows fingerprints and reflects more light.

Can you add mounting holes for screws instead of adhesive?

Yes, send your hole spacing and diameter and we drill to that pattern.
