Aluminium Nameplates

Our solutions

Our aluminium nameplates are one of Diametric's most popular products and we have a number of exclusive finishes and surface treatments to increase the visual impact of your brand. Aluminium labels are ideal for commercial nameplates, instrument panels, rating panels and product badges.

We have spent time developing 3D nameplates made of aluminium by using advanced etching and embossing techniques to make sure our products are the best solutions on the market. We can also add a protective Tuffcoat lacquer that is often seen on automotive emblems. For a really detailed, quality finish we use bright plated diamond cutting and/or printed colours to raised areas of a die-cast badge.  

Here are a number of features of our aluminium nameplates:

• We can fix badges using mechanical or self-adhesive fixings.
• We can use standard dye colours for anodising or colour matched inks for embossed badges. We can sequentially number each nameplate.

Process

Aluminium is such a versatile material to work with and can be adapted to so many applications. Our aluminium nameplates are produced by printing dye-based inks onto a porous surface of high purity aluminium. We then seal this beneath a hard anodic layer, which produces a durable matt or gloss finish.

We can enhance our nameplates using our unique Alu-Etch process. This form of etching aluminium creates a pleasing contrast between the slightly raised gloss areas and the etched matt areas.

To improve the visual impact even more we can silkscreen printed inks onto the aluminium and add embossed detail to the nameplate. For full 3D nameplates we use Die Cast metal badges, which are created by injecting molten alloy into a steel female cavity tool.
