Customized Etched and Engraved Plaques by Metal Designs

Metal Designs offers etched and engraved bronze, brass, aluminum and stainless steel for our entire line of cast bronze and cast aluminum plaques. We have a plethora of options available, including different etching and engraving styles, materials and finishes. Given our more than 20 years of experience in the bronze plaque business, Metal Designs offers both etching and engraving not only bronze and aluminum but also copper, stainless steel, and brass. Thicknesses range from 1/32 inches to 1/2 inch. Background finishes include polished, satin, random orbital, sandblasted and antique.

Our talented team can walk you through all options, make suggestions and help you choose the right plaque style that fits your needs and your budget, whether you’re remembering a beloved family member or friend or honoring someone for their contributions to your business, non-profit organization or community. Our drafting team will then take your idea and draw up a proposed design. You will be able to review it, free of charge, and you are under no obligation. Once the design is approved by you, then the sculpting team will carefully bring your vision to fruition.
