Engraved Sign 25

Although brass plaques are something that we do a lot of, this one stands out because of the non-black colouring. The engraving we normally do is lettering which we paint-fill black, but here there was some extra additions in the form of the flower.

The plaques that we do, no matter what material we create them from be it brass, aluminium, stainless steel etc., are usually fitted to a wooden plinth. Customers get a choice of material for the plinth from a variety of woods.

They look good when mounted on a wall and last for many years.

A good picture of one of the engraving machines at work, engraving a brass plaque. The technology has come a long way but still has a significant human element in the programming aspect and setting the machines up and so on.

There are several examples of the engraved plaques on this site, and we work with a variety of materials, depending on the client and on the job.

Engraved No Smoking Sign

This one however is more of a specialist no smoking sign. Made from aluminium it is more expensive of course and instead of vinyl or wide format printing, it is an engraved sign, and gives a more upscale appearance to the no smoking prohibition. Perhaps a customer wants a sign that will stand the test of time (and weather) if it is placed outside?

It goes without saying that if it is placed outside it should be cleaned regularly and maintained but this sign should easily last several years. It might need a touch-up every so often but GRS also provides that service.

As mentioned this is an engraved sign – most people think of engraved signs as being in brass or bronze, to signify a business premises or a person. Although you should consider this as a bespoke sign, a one-off sign for one particular business, we can do exactly the same thing for anyone else.

Finally, these aluminium signs are fitted with security screws.
