Nameplates that outlive the equipment

Printed asset labels fade, curl, and get scrubbed off by plant cleaners. An engraved nameplate carries the legend in the material itself: the top cap layer is cut away to expose a contrasting core, so there is no printed surface to peel or wear off.

We engrave every plate to order in Clayton, North Carolina, on UL-approved industrial acrylic, the same material used for UL 508A control panel nameplates and engraved valve tags.

Equipment nameplate FAQ

What are equipment nameplates used for?

Equipment nameplates identify machines, motors, pumps, panels, and assets with permanent engraved text: equipment numbers, service data, voltage, asset IDs, and maintenance information. Because the legend is cut into the material through the cap layer rather than printed, there is no printed surface to peel or wear off.

What material are your equipment nameplates made from?

Every nameplate is engraved from Rowmark DurMark, a UL-approved rigid 1/16" 2-ply acrylic carrying UL Yellowcard E354751 and a UL94-HB flame rating. It is non-conductive, UV stable and listed for interior and exterior use.

Do you offer metal or aluminum equipment nameplates?

We do not supply metal or anodized aluminum plates. We engrave UL-approved 2-ply acrylic, which is non-conductive, will not corrode, and is the material most control panel and UL 508A specifications call out for equipment identification.

Can I put my own wording on these nameplates?

Yes. Every nameplate is made to order with your exact text, line count, size, and color combination. Lay it out in the custom label designer and see live pricing before you order.

How are equipment nameplates mounted?

Choose mounting holes for screws or rivets, or 3M adhesive backing for a fast permanent bond to clean metal, plastic, or painted surfaces. Radius corners are available on request.

What sizes and colors are available?

Nameplates run from 1" x 3" up to 18" wide and 6" tall, with text heights from 1/4" to 1" and up to six lines. Seven standard color combinations are stocked: yellow/black, red/white, black/white, green/white, blue/white, orange/white, and white/black.
