Any manufactured product needs to be presented and identified by labeling. Information on the name, manufacturer, technical specifications, release date and serial number, as well as individual additional data, contains metal nameplates. The presence of such a label on the product is mandatory, and its absence is a violation of the law.
General information
In technical documents, you can find such a nameplate as a passport or marking plate. Also a device label or technical data. Information applied to metal nameplates can be not only technical, but also advertising in nature. Data on the plates may be in the form of an inscription or image of a certain size and color. The shape of the shield being manufactured is also important. Metal plates have increased wear resistance, as depending on the environment they are subject to various damage (humidity, temperature changes, weather conditions, mechanical stresses). Nameplates are made from anodized aluminum with images applied using the technique of metallography. Thanks to this method, labels are resistant to various types of acids and solvents. Also, the high quality of the application protects the inscription from erasure.
Where are the labels applied?
Large metal nameplates containing technical information can be located on fire doors, fuel tanks, on various industrial and diesel equipment. Also, facades of buildings, doors of office premises, signs in the corridors are decorated with signs. There are nameplates indicating office space. They can also be found in any institution, educational building, shopping center, clinic, beauty salon. In addition to technical plates, nameplates are made with company symbols attached to souvenirs intended as a gift to employees and customers of the organization. Souvenir metal nameplates can be attached to the cover of a diary, gift wrap, briefcase. Gift products are additional advertising for the presenting company.
Manufacture
Making nameplates often requires specially painted or varnished aluminum. Its light base allows you to clearly put the information text. Aluminum is soft and pliable enough for engraving by impact. Technical data can also be applied using laser engraving, thermal printing, cutting, milling, metallography. Aluminum does not rust, this allows the text on the nameplates to be stored for a long time and remain readable in all conditions of use. In addition to the basic information, a colored background imitating silver or gold, and additional graphs in which the manufacturer himself can enter individual data in any graphical way can be applied to the nameplates.
Characteristic
Aluminum nameplates can be made in various thicknesses: from 0.1 to 3 mm. Small-sized tablets are produced with a thickness of 0.2-0.5 mm. For large panels, a thickness of 1-1.5 mm is used. Soft aluminum nameplates are able to bend and attach to curved surfaces. The nameplates can be fixed with fixing holes, hardware, double-sided tape or glue. A metal nameplate, the price of which depends on the width of the metal, the size of the plate and additional machining, such as rounded corners, hole milling, through graphic numbering, can be made in a period of 1 to 15 days.
Today, the presence of the nameplate on the product allows you to buy a really high-quality thing, as well as get reliable information if necessary.
