Engraved Metal Plaques

Engraved Metal plaques, available in either Bronze or Aluminum, feature raised or recessed lettering, satin-finished top surfaces, and are suitable for both interior and exterior use. They offer the truly captivating option of incorporating contoured 3-D Photo Relief images into your design, portraying complete scenes and telling your story in much greater detail than a text-only inscription could possibly convey. Finishes ranging from oxidized bronze to full-color graphics, and any combination in-between, are available.

Mr. Grupe loved golf, so a golf course scene was used as a backdrop behind him on this 22" x 12" Engraved Bronze plaque. Both images utilize the Photo Relief engraving technique to permanently capture the scene in a most unique way.
	With surprising realism, almost every single feature in the original photos has been replicated. Notice the fine details in his shirt, the trees in the background, and the roofline of a house in the distance (above the letters "MEM..."). Even the embroidered lettering on his hat is almost readable. Most important to our customer, though, was the accurate rendition of Mr. Grupe himself. No other technique, not even Bas Relief sculpting on Cast Metal plaques, can capture this level of accuracy.

For Dan Wilson's career stats, nothing made a bigger impression than multiple three-dimensional Photo Relief images enhanced with our full-color process. Completing the baseball theme is a custom home plate shape that even features beveled edges. While full-color may not be appropriate for every inscription, it made all the difference on this plaque.

	Rather than use the original background area in Eric's photograph, our customer requested an American flag as part of their 20" x 26" Engraved Bronze memorial plaque. The photograph was also "framed" within a double-line border, leaving the remaining background area smooth.

	Color adds a whole new dimension to this plaque. A Photo Relief image was combined with our full-color process to achieve a stunning 3-D reproduction of the library. The lettering and border feature a traditional satin bronze finish.

Preserving more than nature, this 12" x 8" Engraved Bronze plaque preserves the moment. Once a plaque is engraved in Photo Relief, an Oxide finish is hand brushed and hand rubbed to reveal its scene with amazing clarity.

 

Photographs are not the only starting point for Photo Relief graphics. For example, the image above was created from an architectural rendering. It was then engraved into a plaque only 10" x 6" while retaining all details. Notice the fluorescent lights visible through second floor windows (right side).

 

The Photo Relief engraving technique used on this 8" x 10" plaque was highly accurate in capturing Chief Alexander's image as it appeared in the original photo. It is a perfect example of using a Photo Relief image on Engraved Bronze in the same manner as Bas Relief sculptures are used on Cast Bronze.
