Anodized Aluminum Nameplates
Anodized aluminum nameplates in a colored or natural finish, keeping the part light without giving up surface durability.
Description
Aluminum gets harder and holds color once it is anodized, with no real gain in weight. A thin 5-25 micron layer covers most plates. A thicker hard layer, up to 70 micron, suits parts that see more wear and rubbing. The same 5052 or 6061 stock takes the layer well, over an etched or engraved mark. It also resists fingerprints and light scuffs during daily use.
Metals & surface options
Colored or natural anodized finish, plus brushed or matte alternatives. Laser engraving or chemical etching carries the mark, applied before or after the anodizing step.
Typical projects
- Brand nameplates in a set house color
- Lightweight plates for portable or handheld equipment
- Color-coded plates across a product line
- Panels where weight savings over steel matter
- Nameplates matched to an anodized housing or enclosure color
