Aluminium: Data Plates
Our anodised aluminium data plates feature permanent sub-surface printing, making them resistant to extreme temperatures, weathering, and chemicals. They are suitable for both interior and exterior applications, ideal for large quantities of the same design. Additional engraving options are avail
Anodised Aluminium Data Plates
Experience the resilience and low-maintenance benefits of our anodised aluminium data plates, offering a superior solution for demanding applications. Designed to withstand extreme temperatures, weathering, chemicals, oil, and grease, these high-quality data plates provide a permanent and reliable identification option for both interior and exterior applications.
Anodised aluminium data plates, labels, tags, and panels are specifically engineered to excel in challenging environments. The sub-surface printing technique ensures that the ink penetrates the aluminium, creating a permanent bond that remains legible and intact over time. This unique feature guarantees resistance to extreme temperatures, protecting the data plates from damage and maintaining their visual clarity.
The exceptional durability of anodised aluminium plates extends to applications where exposure to harsh elements or corrosive substances is a concern. Whether installed in indoor or outdoor settings, these data plates retain their integrity, providing reliable identification that withstands the test of time. In addition, aluminium is a lightweight material that maintains its strength and structural integrity,

Let’s get started with your Ideas, the more detail you provide the better! | |
We’ll email or phone you to talk it through, give advice and provide a quote. | |
It’s then over to us to create and amend artwork and you to pay the deposit. | |
If you provide the artwork, we’ll pre-flight check it for you and you pay the deposit | |
With your approval, we’ll get cracking on with the production. | |
We’ll soon be back in touch to arrange fitting/delivery/collection. We will never proceed with production until you are entirely happy with the artwork and will always provide a proof (unless the artwork is supplied by you). |
Colour Swatches
This product can be printed in any colour, but the background will always be silver, not white. Disclaimer: Although every effort has been made to display the colour swatches shown as true, all monitors are not consistent in colour representation, the swatches therefore should be taken only as a guide!Tech Spec
