Cast metal plaques are the best way to identify special places, events and people. For fund raising, what better way to recognize the contributions of those who made possible the growth and expansion of your institution? Nothing else can provide the unmistakable look and permanence of real cast bronze or aluminum.

Shown here are examples of what cast plaques are used for. Other uses include historical markers, industrial signs, paperweights, office signs, desk name plates, military seals, custom logos and grave markers. If you have something else in mind, give us a call at 1-800-950-8068.

All our plaques are made using the most modern computerized imaging technology that turns your creative ideas into beautiful cast bronze and aluminum plaques. Letter styles, logos and custom artwork are almost limitless. We can customize to your specifications.

The plaque dimensions can be any size up to our maximum of 30" x 40". Computer file format needs to be PC-based on 3.5" diskettes. We use CorelDRAW 9 for typesetting. You can export your files to disk as .EPS, .Al or .DXF.

The background texture can be leatherette or pebble. Standard background colors are oxidized (brown) for bronze plaques and black for aluminum plaques. Backgrounds can also be painted any color you desire (send actual color sample). All raised surfaces (letters, borders) are satin finished. Logos can be added at no additional charge if computer disk file or camera ready artwork is provided. For those occasions when time does not allow the plaques to be ready for your occasion, we offer full-size mockups in color or black & white. Contact us for price and availability.

Click Border Styles for a selection of our standard borders. You can also find these borders on page 4 of our catalog.

For letter styles, you can send us your own artwork or computer disk, or you can choose from our styles. Click Letter Styles for some examples of our more popular letter styles we have to choose from.
