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.
