Plastic Laminate Signs

Plastic engraving laminate is generally a layered material. The front surface is the visible colour of the sign​, then by means of engraving the underlying layer is revealed this becomes the colour of the lettering or logo. The laminates are available in a host of colour combinations and various thicknesses.

Brass Signs

Metal signs will last a lifetime, brass can be machined to the size required be it rectangular or an irregular shape. Lettering and logos can be engraved into the surface and then filled with colour. Brass will tarnish with age, this can be a desired finish or the sign can be sprayed with a clear lacquer. In years to come the lacquer may need to be re-applied.
