What Are Metal Plaques?

Metal plaques are a famous signage option made of solid, high-quality, and durable metal materials like bronze, brass, or aluminum. Metal plaques are usually placed to recognize buildings, parks, historic places, memorials, or award ceremonies. They can be customized with brands, unique designs, pictures, and a variety of mounting options.

Metal Plaques can be custom-crafted in several styles. These plaques can be made from a wide range of metals, finishes, thicknesses, and custom border options. Oxidized, patina, polished, and painted finishes are options for custom finishes. Hand-buffed and rubbed oxide finishes are popular among the eye-catching finishes we provide.

Applications of Metal Plaques

Wall plaques can be found all over offices, churches, synagogues, retail outlets, and more. They are one of the most popular ways in NYC to celebrate someone or something special. Companies use these plaques as awards for customers and employees, as an acknowledgment of donations to a non-profit, as door signs, and as a prominent way to honor someone who has accomplished a heroic feat or lead a memorable life. In other cases, a business, government or school may create its own unique type of signage for a special occasion or location.​
