Description

Anodized black color aluminum is ideal for outdoor applications and very durable resisting elements with coating on both sides for protection.

These solid aluminum plates are versatile and work with machine (rotary & scratch), hand engraving, laser engravers * and can be used for a variety of purposes from nameplates to desk or door plates to plaques and awards. Other uses are dog tags, jewelry, and artwork. The material is rigid and its not suggested to bend anodize material by force because of distorting.

These are made from high quality aluminum designed for engraving and will have a finish that uniform, smooth, and blemish-free. All of our engraving plates are guaranteed to be manufactured as the ‘best available’ in the industry and you will receive the highest quality that is proudly made in the USA.

How to choose plates

How to choose plates
Our best selling engraving plates are Brass and Aluminum (Brushed are a bit more popular than and Bright) that are used on trophy's, plaques, awards, memorials, desk nameplates, and other engraving work. If you choose brushed brass or brushed aluminum, you will be using the most popular engraving plates.  For coated engraving plates, our black aluminum and laser black aluminum (if your using a laser engraver) are the top choices for customers.

The various aluminum colors can be used to match a background or picture and the anodized aluminum is designed for accessories or outdoor use. Both the colored aluminum and anodized aluminum are designed for scratch or rotary engraving.  

Choose by exposure
Solid metal brass and aluminum will maintain their color but painted or coated plates can wear off from physical wear and abrasion or when the plates are significantly bent, heated, or exposed to chemicals. The anodized metals are designed to withstand weather and wear and will maintain their surface even with outdoor exposure, sunlight, and moisture.

Looking to use them for another purpose? 
The solid metal engraving plates can be heated, bent, or soldered (coated plates should NOT). Brass and  aluminum without colors can be bent and modified (there can be some surface discoloring applying a torch and you may need to protect the metal when heating or possibly polish it after) because of surface treatments, you should do some testing before starting important projects. 

 If you need help choosing plates, just contact us  and we will try to provide some help in choosing the best plates for your needs.

    Top Notch Service

    Posted by Marshall CNC & Laser Engraving on Sep 23rd 2024

    Superb, quality laser engraving plates. Anytime I need different sized aluminum plates for engraving, this is where I go to. Super fast shipping and excellent packaging ! I've never received anything damaged or scratched. I've messaged the owner in the past, "Keep up the great work!!" Very satisfied!

    Good for exterior use

    Posted by Joshua Yount on Mar 10th 2024

    We mounted this straight into brick, below our thru-wall mailbox. The thickness makes it quite durable and good for semi-exterior use (covered landing). My only gripe is the lack of options for adding pre-drilled holes. We were able to expand the ones, but we had to be quite careful about it.

    The black anodize is excellent to engrave into. I would give it 5 stars if the cut edges where deburr more other than that the plates are great products. I will continue to order more plates from this company on future projects.

    brushed black anodized aluminum

    Posted by Sarah Cheng on Feb 28th 2021

    I've tried a number of different anodized aluminum plates. These are the best for a 100 watt CO2 laser, with a bright shiny underlayer of aluminum. The .040" thickness is preferable to the thinner option if intended use is for outdoors, attached on stakes for a garden.
