Industrial nameplates
Custom industrial nameplates and engraved metal tags for equipment.
Manufacture custom industrial nameplates, engraved metal tags, OEM equipment plates and serial number labels with brushed metal, printed data, screw holes and adhesive backing.
Specification planning
Confirm the details that change cost, sample accuracy and production timing.
Industrial nameplates need more than a logo. Buyers should confirm data fields, mounting method, environment, surface durability and whether serial numbers change across the order. Equipment data plates should also define fixed fields, variable fields, warning text and whether the final plate needs ISO or RoHS support documents. For machine-specific data plates with serial fields, QR codes and mounting drawings, see our equipment nameplates product page.
- Common material: stainless steel, aluminum, brass or zinc alloy depending on application.
- Common size: 40 mm can be used for compact tags; custom equipment plates are quoted by drawing.
- Surface options: engraving, digital printing, raised text, recessed panels, brushed finish, hot gold or silver stamping and black fill.
- Mounting: screw holes, adhesive backing, rivet holes, ball chain or custom slot layouts.
- Typical starting MOQ: 100 pieces per design, adjusted by variable data and material.
- Sample time is about 7 days; bulk production is about 15 days after approval.
