Screen Printed Metal Nameplates
When you need a new logo, label or cautionary signage for your machinery or tools of any industry, American Nameplate is who to trust. We are a premier screen printed metal tag manufacturer dedicated to creating custom metal nameplates and labels for you. No matter how many or how few decals you need, American Nameplate will create all the specialty designs you may need for your screen printed metal labels.
How Screen Printing on Metal Works
Screen printing on metal is an economical process for creating graphics and colored logos for your equipment, panels or other items. A mesh screen acts as a stencil and covers the metal surface, while a squeegee-type applicator applies inks and epoxies to your tag. The final step in the process is where a surface coat is applied to the nameplate, creating a seal for your color and extending your screen printed nameplate’s lifespan.
Materials Compatible for Screen Printed Nameplates
At American Nameplate, we produce custom screen printed metal labels, nameplates, and tags on aluminum, stainless steel, & brass. Aluminum is the most common metal used for printed metal nameplates, but we will customize your nameplate to fit whichever material you prefer or require. Through the screen printing process, all of your screen printed metal labels and nameplates will withstand multiple environmental conditions, so you can use them inside or outside as needed.
How to Customize Metal Screen Printed Nameplates
When you choose a metal to print onto, you can also select the thickness of your tag or label, with some metals having more options than others. Aluminum nameplates, for instance, can range between 0.008 inches and 0.125 inches, whereas a bronze screen printed nameplate will only be customized with a 0.045-inch thickness.
Other features you can choose for your screen printed equipment nameplates include the finish, various adhesives your signage may require, the shape of the plate’s corners and if your piece requires serial numbering.
