How Is an Engraved Nameplate Made?

A synced computer performs the process of creating engraved nameplates by using a rotating cutting tool. These tools will etch down into the material of your choosing, engraving a depth a fraction of the size of your nameplate’s overall thickness. Our new Computerized Engraving Machines at American Nameplate allow us to quickly and efficiently engrave as many or as few nameplates per your request, ensuring a quick turnaround time for you to distribute your custom engraved labels.

A CO2 laser can also be used on other materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum, to create linear marks and two-dimensional barcodes. You also have a choice of Colored Plastic that can be used to create a two-tone final engraved metal plate or laser engraved metal nameplates for an OEM look.
