Summary:
Article about industrial name plates, their utilities in establishing brand image and abilities to withstand intensive conditions and variety of materials used to make such nameplates.
Nameplates and their vast utility:
Name plates are useful for customer information as well as for the service technicians. The nameplates can be affixed to give warranty instructions, warnings, ‘how to use’ instructions or important data and contact numbers. Custom name plates help in maintenance also as equipment setting information, specifications and troubleshooting instructions etc are engraved on the custom name plates

One can use metals, non-metals, plastics, and alloys like stainless steel, brass, and bronze as per industrial specifications. Silver anodized aluminum is considered best; brands sign or logos engraved in it last for long. Polycarbonate and lexan nameplates also have a good market. For the printing purposes any of the processes like die-cast, chemical etching, screen-printing etc can be used.
Durable Industrial name plates are a result of proper selection of material and efficient processing.
