Plaque faces are
stroke-sanded with baked enamel background before being clear coated and oven
baked with a two part hardened acrylic polyurethane. Generally, these are used
for memorials, dedication plaques, or signage. This finish is not recommended
for coastal areas. Raised copy and border is in brushed aluminum. If you want a
bronze-like gold color, please send an email to [email protected] for a

SIZE:
If you already know
the size of plaque you want, simply select that size. If you haven't decided on
a size, a general guideline is:
Count the
number of letters and spaces and divide by 4. This will give you a typical
plaque size in square inches. For example, 400 letters and spaces divided by 4
is 100 square inches. So a 10" x 10" plaque would work. We offer
custom sizes as well.
TEXT: (See Memorial Text Suggestions or our other
plaques for text ideas.)
A maximum
of 1200 characters can be placed on the Standard Aluminum
plaque.
LETTERING STYLE: Fonts
Several
font styles are available. See Details tab for samples. The minimum letter size is 1/4" if the
text is in ALL CAPS or 3/8" size if the text is in Upper and lower case.
The larger the plaque, the larger the letters. The minimum size ensures that
your plaque will be legible.
