Custom Plate and Medallions FAQs

Product Details

What are custom plates and medallions used for?

These are ideal for branding, labeling, or adding a decorative maker’s mark to products. Furniture makers, artisan craftsmen, and manufacturers often rely on them as a premium finishing touch that communicates quality, and authenticity.

What materials and platings are available?

Plates and medallions are die-cast zinc alloy with your choice of antiqued or polished .

Available platings include brass, copper, nickel, genuine silver, and genuine gold. Optional Pantone®-matched enamel fills are available to add vibrant brand colors.

What thicknesses are available?

The standard thickness is 2 mm, which is ideal for product branding and labels. Other thicknesses can be produced if your project requires something different, just contact us for a custom quote.

How are they attached?

You can choose screw or rivet holes or a strong 3M adhesive backing for easy application. If you plan to use your own glue adhesive, we can leave the back rough for better adhesion.

If you have a unique mounting requirement, just let us know — we’re happy to review your needs and recommend the best option.

Can you match my brand colors?

Yes. We can match Pantone® colors using enamel fills, which are great for logos or bold color accents. Platings themselves are actual metal and can’t be color-matched in the same way.

Customization & Artwork

Can you help with or create the design?

Absolutely! Whether you have finished artwork, a rough sketch, or just an idea, our design team will work with you to turn it into a professional, production-ready layout. We can help to adjust your existing designs, incorporate your branding, or create a new design from scratch. You’ll receive a detailed proof for approval, and we’ll guide you through any refinements needed to ensure your buckles look exactly as you envisioned.

Can you serialize or number plates?

Yes, sequential numbering can be laser-engraved in designated areas designed for this purpose.we often design a small pill-shaped or rectangular area into the piece specifically for numbering, planned as part of the design process.

How do I send you my logo or artwork?

You can upload your artwork during checkout.
