Name Plates

The list above outlines some items and surfaces that could benefit from the addition of a name plate. Name plates can be used to identify your name, business role, address, and more. A supplier of plates may feature vinyl, metal, and plastic plate products.

A plate that does not require the use of hardware will contain a magnetic backing or an adhesive backing. The backing can be secured to any item that contains a nonporous surface. A plate that requires the use of hardware will contain small holes that screws will fit through. 

An Online Supplier

An online supplier of Florence name plates may feature products that are designed for rugged environments and interior spaces. Any product that is listed as an actual mailbox plate will be designed to hold up in extreme weather conditions. An all-weather plate product may contain a protective coating. A protective coating will act as a barrier that will prevent moisture from penetrating through a plate. 

Shopping Strategies

Visit an e-commerce site that lists plate products. View the pictures of the products that are available for purchase. A supplier will likely provide photos of many sample plate products. These photos will illustrate how various types of lettering, pictures, and numbers will appear on a particular plate product.

Custom processes that are used to manufacture plates include engraving, laser printing, and digital printing. A seller will provide the dimensions of a product. They will indicate how many letters or numbers can be added to a plate product. If an online design tool is featured on an ecommerce site, test out various layouts for the plate products that are of interest.

Custom Products

Some custom plate products are designed to be secured to specific items. A mailbox topper, for instance, is a plate product that is designed to be installed along the top of pole-mounted mailboxes. This type of plate supports the quick identification of a mailbox. The reflective coating that is secured to a topper product will allow the plate print or engraving to stand out at night.
