Serialized nameplates provide a unique identifier on each nameplate. Practical applications related to machine tags, warranty tags, serial number, or general OEM information. Limited series collectibles with serialized nameplates, notify your customer of the added value of a rare product. Miller Dial can provide serialization on nameplates to your specification. Numbers or Alph-numeric patterns of your choosing starting or ending at customer specification. Bar codes can also be etched and/or screen printed on providing automated product identification.

Etching is popular on both utilitarian applications as well as product identification. nameplates produced with an etching process provide a durable product that will weather well. Etching produces an inset design on the surface of metal nameplates. Your branding message and/or machine tags will continue to be legible for years to come. Our in-house etching process is often complemented with screenprinting. The epoxy inks screenprinted into the inset or etched areas of the metal prove resistant to chipping and other forms of wear.

The anodizing of aluminum nameplates provides a much harder surface than natural aluminum. Aluminum oxide is grown out of the surface during anodizing, becoming aluminum hydrate which is extremely hard. The anodized layer of aluminum is porous in nature, lending itself to colored dyes with long life. An anodized finish on your aluminum nameplate can deliver significant product appeal.

Plastic nameplates can be finished with chemical resistant hardcoats, textures, and a wide variety of custom relief solutions. Our technical sales staff can provide you with recommendations on the best fit for your application.

Embossed nameplates are associated with high quality products. Embossed finishes are created by producing a die that stamps a 3d relief on the face of your nameplate. Our dies are expertly engraved to your custom design to produce any desired images, letters, numbers, or graduations. When your product identification needs to demonstrate outstanding quality, embossed nameplates are the application you're looking for.
