Name Plates

You will find information on name plate services under this heading in Yellow Pages®. A name plate is a sheet with the name of a person or a company inscribed, printed, or painted on it. The name plate carries the identity of the individual and is often kept on display. Name plates come in different types and sizes. Yellow Pages® contains a comprehensive list of name plate services across Australia.

To make a name plate, you must first decide on the size and dimensions of the plate. Then, you must decide on the style of the letters. The style is often referred to as the font. The names on the name plate can be in colour or in black or white. The large portion on the name plate that does not contain any number or letters is referred to as the background. The background is usually in contrast to the printed or painted letters to make the letters stand out from the background. A name plate usually has holes on either side. These holes can be drilled into the name plate by using a drill machine. Nuts and bolts are used to fix the name plate onto a hard surface. Sometimes strong glue is also used to fix the name plate.

Name plates can be made of various materials such as metal, wood, plastic and any other solids. For some name plates, the letters can be embossed to give a more sophisticated look and feel. Today there are also advanced name plates available in the market in which the letters are invisible to the naked eye and only visible under ultra-violet light.
