Bespoke Type Plates, Designed Around Your Needs
Every machine, panel and installation carries its own identification requirements, so we don’t offer off-the-shelf type plates. Each order is manufactured to your specification — size, shape, material, fixing method, and layout — so your plates fit the equipment, the environment, and the regulations that apply to it. Whether you need a single replacement rating plate or a production run of serialised nameplates, our team works with you from initial concept through to final manufacture.
Built to Last, Whatever the Environment
Type plates are often the only permanent record of critical information — serial numbers, ratings, compliance marks, or safety data — so they need to survive the full working life of the equipment they identify. We manufacture using materials and processes selected for durability, including anodised aluminium, stainless steel, and engraved laminate, so your plates stay legible through heat, vibration, moisture and constant handling. Options include:
- Anodised aluminium plates for a lightweight, corrosion-resistant finish
- Engraved stainless steel plates for permanent, high-durability identification
- Embossed and etched plates for raised, tactile detail that resists wear
- Traffolyte and laminate plates for cost-effective control panel and switchgear labelling
- Self-adhesive, riveted or screw-fix mounting to suit your installation

Type plate applications
Type plates support identification and compliance across a wide range of industries. Manufacturing, automotive and marine, to name a few.
machinery & equipment
Rating plates and identification nameplates for industrial machinery, giving quick access to serial numbers and technical data.
automotive APPLICATION
VIN plates and component identification plates built to withstand vibration, heat and exposure to fuels and oils.
marine VESSELS
Corrosion-resistant plates for vessels and marine equipment, holding up against saltwater and constant weathering.
electrical panels
Traffolyte and engraved labelling for switchgear, control panels and electrical enclosures, for clear at-a-glance identification.
Frequently Asked Questions?
What materials are your type plates made from?
We offer a range of materials including anodised aluminium, stainless steel, and traffolyte laminate, chosen based on the environment and durability requirements of your project.
Can you include serial numbers, QR codes or compliance marks?
Yes – we can produce sequentially numbered plates, add QR codes or barcodes, and include CE, UKCA or other compliance markings as required.
Can you match our existing plates or specification?
Yes – we can replicate existing formats, sizes, and fixing methods, or help design a new type plate from scratch.
