The Engraved Metal Plaque Ultimate Guide
1.0 Product Overview
1.1 What Is A Metal Plaque?
A metal plaque is a form of labeling wherein its main use is to commemorate a person, an event, or even an achievement made by a certain person/company. Plaque is derived from the French word “plate”, which is not a dinner plate, but a little brass or tin-plate that can be mounted on a wall. These metal plaques will show the history of your brand and will also showcase how good your products are.
1.2 Where do I Use Metal Plaques?
The main use of metal plaques is to commemorate a certain person, even or any achievement a person or a company has. These plaques and signs can also be used for more than just plates that tell people of how a company was started, who started it, and other similar uses.
From recognizing buildings and military facilities to memorializing parks and landmarks, Foison Metal’s top-quality metal plaques are produced to last for a long period. Etched plaques and signs can be used for several other things, and these don’t have anything to do with commemorating anyone or any historical achievement. Here are some ideas:
Office Door Nameplates – You can use metal plaques to add an artistic knack to your office, and you can choose to use decorative metals like bronze or brass for this.
Special Awards Plaques – You can have these metal plaques for the sole purpose of commemorating your employees for their hard work and achievements. These plaques can act as a morale boost for the employees to strive harder and to continue doing their best for the company. It can also serve as a challenge for others to work hard and someday may receive their plaque to commemorate their achievements for the company.
Personal Plaques for Special People in Your Life – Aside from having metal plaques for events or occasions, you can also have them in the comfort of your own home. Want to make your child’s room feel special? Have his accomplishments from school etched in stainless steel or brass. You can also make their day by having a plaque of how they are such great sons or daughters.
Memorial Plaques – Nothing beats the timeless feature that a metal plaque has, be it on bronze, or brass, or even in stainless steel that can commemorate a significant individual that a building, event, occasion, park, or other entity you are giving importance to. The timelessness of the plaques will then preserve the name and its importance.
Dedication Plaques – Different from Special Awards Plaques but may also be considered as a special commemoration for people who have done so much for the company. Be it little or big, as long as it contributes to the improvement of your business.
Donor Plaques – Donors and sponsors also need the recognition they can get from the business they are supporting to know that their financial aid is not going to waste. It also serves as an appreciation token from the business to their partners.
Veteran & Military Plaques – What better way to give recognition to a war veteran than by having their names, position, and accomplishment they did for their country in etched stainless steel or brass. The pride and honor they will feel to have such recognition are immeasurable.
Bronze Bas Relief Plaques – Another form of story-telling is by having sculptures or carving in plaques. They can be set in furniture, frames, or just as they are. Similar to the Last Supper which was made on solid background using the same material. It gives a more visual story-telling of how a special occasion occurred in the B.C. It also gives a timeless and seamless quality to the person, event, or occasion being portrayed.
National Register of Historic Places Plaques – This can help you in letting the world know that your house or building is designated as a historical place and heritage marker that is listed in the National Register of Historic Places by having a plaque in bronze or brass.
Address Plaques – Solid metal address labels and house number plaques that will last outdoors for a long period.
Park Bench and Garden Plaques – May it be a garden, a treed area, or maybe even a park bench; you can also use solid cast bronze plaque or etched stainless steel or brass.

2.0 Design and Customization
2.1 How do you create metal plaques?
A series of processes have to be followed to create a perfect metal plaque.
Like most other artistic works, every metal plaque have is planned and designed by an experienced in-house graphics designer. From the size, shape, design, etc., everything will be made by our design team according to the customer’s request. Once done, our design team will then provide you the layout and ask for insights on what are the things that you want to change from it.
Once a design has been agreed upon, you will now choose which metal would you want to use for the metal plaque, how you want it to be made, and the color that you want for the plaque. After this, our talented design team will forward the finished layout/design to our workforce team that will produce the metal plaque that you have ordered.
2.2 What is the difference between engraved plaques and etched plaques?
Engraving is a physical process while etching is a chemical process. Engraved metal plaques are made by spewing molten metal(aluminum or bronze) into a custom mold with the plaque’s desired shape. The molten metal will then be solidified by cooling it; creating a concentrated, long-lasting plaque that can be mounted and placed on any place that fits its purpose.
On the other hand, etched metal plaques are made with precise detail. You can transfer any work to metals such as copper, brass, stainless steel, or bronze by using etching. The image/art that you choose can be turned into a plaque that will last for a very long time.
2.3 Can you engrave products that I own?
Yes, we can make/create a metal plaque that matches the products that you offer on your business. The size, shape, and color will vary, depending on how you want us to present it.

Yes, we can match/use Pantone colors for your metal plaque. Aside from the standard colors that we have available, we can custom-use Pantone colors that would fit your organization’s needs and requests.
2.7 What type of artwork files are needed?

- Adobe Illustrator – (*.ai) file preferred
- Corel Draw – (*.cdr) file
Note: All files with EPS format are acceptable in outlined vector format ONLY.
2.8 What are the factors that I need to consider when designing a metal plaque?
Designing your metal plaques involves a lot of thinking, research, and decision-making. The design has to resemble your brand and company; it has to be durable and long-lasting whether used indoor or outdoor. Aside from these, there are still other things that should be considered before your metal plaques can be produced.
- Size – Size is one of the important things that should be considered when it comes to designing a metal plaque. By knowing the size of the plaque that you want, you can then choose the best options needed for your metal plaque. Also, you will know how much the estimated cost is right at the get-go.
- Thickness – One thing that you also need to check is the thickness of the metal plaque that you want. It should be considered from the time that designs are still being made so that we can check if the metal is perfect or not as some designs might need additional methods other than etching or engraving. The thickness of the plaque should be set since the product might be used in more ways than one.
- Shape – Although this will depend on the brand/nature of your products, the shape of the plaque can also be customized to suit the chosen design. For example, if your plaque will be attached to a curved surface, you need to have a curved plaque for it to fit perfectly. That way, the plaque will attach smoothly without fearing that it might fall off.
- Material – You have to pick the correct material for your plaque. Although most metals used in creating metal plaques are rust-proof, there are still better metals perfect for certain conditions. Deciding on which type of metal is best for your specifications will make your metal plaque more durable and long-lasting. You can talk with a metal expert so that you can get more information that could be useful in deciding which metal to use.
2.9 How many days will it take for you to finish my order?
The actual production time will depend on the number of plaques ordered. Factors such as type of material, size, shape, and customization will affect the production time of the metal plaques. In estimate, the production time ranges from 5-7 business days and will be delivered within 7-10 business days once done.

These are the most common types of materials used commercially in packaging items:
- Plastic – Since plastic is an incredibly flexible material and can be manufactured to several properties, it is frequently being used as a packaging material of choice. Plastics are flexible, lightweight, and highly durable. It can be created in so many ways that it can even be created to resist chemical substances and even heat.
- Glass – Glass has been used for many years, mainly in food and beverage production as it is a nonporous, non-toxic material that does not percolate things into food and drinks. As a result, it also preserves the freshness of its content for a longer time. Glass can be created to become beautiful and is 100% recyclable.
- Steel – Steel packaging is not a usual thing in day-to-day life. This is commonly used in shipping large quantities of items, especially in the metal industry. This would include steel poles, plates, drums, and even large containers that are reusable. Steel containers are unbelievably durable and are fabricated to withstand extreme weather conditions, harsh handling, and to hold heavy loads. It is also one of the most recycled goods in the world, and almost 70% of the steel used in shipping is being reused.
- Wood – Wood packaging can be either made from soft or hardwood. It can support and transport a wide variety of items. This includes pallets, wooden boxes, bins, drums, or any other items. Also, wood packaging can be used regularly and can even be repaired if damaged. Once it reaches its limit, wood packaging can then be used as soil compost making it a very environmentally friendly packaging solution.
