Brass for Engraved Plaques, Name Plates and Memorial Plaques.
Engraved brass plaques are, traditional, very beautiful and still very popular. There are various ways of engraving brass depending on the plaque. For small text or full colour logos - chemical etching is the best method. For most plaques deep mechanical engraving and paint filled letters is the standard. For smaller plaques, scratch engraving without paint fill is also an option.
It must be taken into account, that brass does naturally tarnish. It is not difficult to polish and for memorial plaquesis often seen as a meaningful task rather than a chore. There are also a few tricks to delay tarnishing - Click here.

Made to Measure Quality Brass Plaques

Lettering can be engraved, or, providing the letters are at least 10mm in height, they can be in-filled with one of our standard colours. We also engrave many traditional Brass Memorial Plaques often used on benches or on a tree stake as a grave marker
Engraved Brass Memorial Plaque
Brass has been used to craft memorials for centuries. Brass plaques are often engraved in a script font with unpainted letters; however, at The Sign Maker, it is possible to modernise a brass memorial plaque with painted lettering and alternative fonts.
A wooden backing board can make a smart addition to a brass plaque, completing its overall appearance and providing a base on which to present it. Some even opt to purchase an Oak memorial cross to mount the plaque on to, which we can also provide.
Engraved Brass Signs & Business Nameplates
An engraved brass nameplate is a very traditional town house sign. It is also perfect as a prestigious plaque for a building's opening plaque. It is made from 2 mm top-quality brass and can be cut to any size. It is available with or without backing boards. Lettering is available in a wide range of fonts. Keep it polished to look its best.
Chemically Etched Steel and Brass Plaques
Ideal for small text, images with fine detail, photos or if several colours are needed. The main benefit of chemical etching over standard engraving is no mechanical stress to the material and no cutter marks as the unwanted material is removed by chemicals, leaving clear, sharp, flat surface detail. Not as cost-effective for small engraved plaques unless there is a large amount of text.
Engraved Brass Address Signs & Number Plaques
We offer a wide range of house number signs, but nothing quite matches the timeless elegance of a classic, polished brass address sign. Brass has long been the traditional choice for nameplates, valued for its durability and sophisticated appeal.
