Custom Nameplate Fabrication Services |
Marking Systems, Inc. takes pride in being able to produce durable custom nameplates using several different manufacturing processes. This allows us to cater to a wide range of industries and applications, insuring that each nameplate is both aesthetically appealing and functional in it's specific application. Nameplates can be made to withstand harsh outdoor environments, chemicals, scratches, as well as ultraviolet light that may cause other nameplates to yellow over time. Marking Systems offers a variety of laminates that provide a protective layer over the graphics and give the label an aesthetically appealing finish. Most commonly labels will have an either gloss or matte finish with a velvet or smooth texture. MSI offers several different embellishment options as well for customers who desire for their product to stand out above the competition.
Whether it be through the utilization of special inks (metallic, photo luminescent, texture clear), or a special tool to emboss certain features and give them a 3D appeal, MSI offers a wide selection to choose from.
