Brass name plates are personalized by means of engraving.  There are basically two types of engraving. First is the method of engraving by using a diamond stylis to “etch” the letters. Once engraved the lettering is then oxidized to make it easier to read by turning the lettering dark. This type of engraving is most often used on small brass plates and is not suitable for exterior use.

The second method of engraving is done with a cutting tool that is motor driven, much like a router.  Once the lettering is “engraved” or cut out, the letters are filled with enamel paint. This type of engraving is used for door name plates, large brass plaques and other brass items that will be exposed to the elements. Polished solid brass is very attractive when engraved and the lettering is paint filled. A coating, sometimes multiple coatings, of clear lacquer is then applied to insure a long life outdoors or indoors.

Brass has traditionally been the ideal material for many engraving applications. Brass is unsurpassed for its beauty and function. Unfortunately, the cost of brass has sky-rocketed on the world market and many items are becoming expensive and hard to get. Still, personalized brass plates are well worth the expense.

Personalized nameplates are a very important part of the office environment. A visitor’s anxiety and frustration are eliminated where desk name plates are prominently displayed. Likewise, a receptionist’s desk is easily identified by a name plate.

Personalized office name plates have architectural benefits as well. Today’s desk plates compliment most any office decor.

Many desk name plates made with these materials are new to the market, yet they are timeless and will never go out of style.

Furthermore, personalized desk nameplates that incorporate a company logo help to establish brand recognition. They also contribute greatly to the overall effectiveness of a building’s way-finding system.
