Importance of Custom Outdoor Plaques
Whether you need to commemorate a loved one, honor your business or simply want to make a statement with an upscale sign; it’s important to consider the following points when designing your custom plaque:
Before you can start to design your custom outdoor plaques, it’s imperative that you and your team understand the purpose of the plaque. Having this clear understanding will help you narrow down the selection of materials, color options and other details that are crucial to the success of your new plaque.
When it comes to choosing the ideal material for your custom plaque, you’ll need to keep several factors in mind. These include the plaque’s location and what you want it to accomplish.
Designed to Your Specifications – The Importance of Custom Outdoor Plaques
If your custom outdoor plaque is to be used in an outdoor setting, you will need to choose a durable material that can withstand the elements. Alternatively, if the plaque is to be used indoors, it will need to be made with an adhesive that will allow it to stick to walls and ceilings.
After you determine the purpose of your plaque, it is crucial to decide where it will be placed. Ideally, you’ll want to place your plaque in an area where it will be able to be seen from a distance.

Typically, etched and engraved plaques are geared towards more detailed/intricate artwork. These plaques use a chemical engraving process that leaves recessed text and design.
These recessed areas can be filled with automotive grade paint to give the whole piece a durable, weatherproof finish. Unlike other types of exterior plaques, they are more expensive to produce and take up to 4 weeks to be completed.

Printed plaques are a great option for small or medium size projects. Typically, these are aluminum composite panels that have a black polycarbonate sheet sandwiched between two sheets of aluminum. The background color is UV printed in the color of your choice, and the text/graphics are built up with a clear UV printing resin like material to create dimension and an embossed look.
