Etched Metal Plaques

Etched metal plaques, available in Bronze, Zinc, Yellow Brass, Muntz Brass, Copper, Stainless Steel and Aluminum, feature raised lettering on dark textured backgrounds, or recessed, color filled lettering on a natural metal surface, and are suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

If your project requires a substantial quantity of text within a limited amount of space, or a very small plaque, an etched plaque may be the perfect solution.

The City of West Allis, Wisconsin commemorates this unique and historic building in their town with this 16" x 24" etched zinc plaque with a bronzetone finish. Similar to a cast plaque, it has a dark, recessed, textured background. The detail we can achieve in etched metal allowed us to capture a beautiful pen and ink drawing of the building.

 

"The Art of Making Money Plenty", by Ben Franklin, was reproduced in 1/8" thick polished brass. The recessed inscription was acid etched into the brass, then color-filled with black.
