When you need vibrant, durable graphics that stand up to the rigors of industrial environments, screen printed metal nameplates from American Nameplate offer the visibility and longevity you need. We are a trusted provider of custom screen printed nameplates for various industries.
How Screen Printing on Metal Works
Screen printing on metal is an economical process for creating graphics and colored logos for equipment, machinery, panels or other items. Our screen printing process utilizes a fine mesh screen to transfer your design onto the metal surface. We use a variety of high-quality inks and epoxies that are specifically formulated for industrial applications due to their excellent UV, chemical and abrasion resistance. These characteristics ensure that your screen printed nameplates will maintain their vibrant colors and sharp details for years to come.
Material Options for Screen Printed Nameplates
At American Nameplate, we produce custom screen printed metal labels, nameplates, and tags on aluminum, stainless steel, and brass. Aluminum is a popular choice for screen printed nameplates due to its light weight, corrosion resistance and excellent printability. Common applications include equipment nameplates, control panel labels and decorative trim. We offer a variety of aluminum finishes, including brushed, polished and anodized.
Customization Options for Your Metal Screen Printed Nameplates
When selecting the metal for your screen printed nameplate, you can also specify the thickness of the tag or label. The available thickness options vary depending on the chosen metal. For example, aluminum nameplates can range from 0.008 inches to 0.125 inches in thickness, while bronze screen printed nameplates are typically offered with a thickness of 0.045 inches.
