Custom Metal Nameplates
Custom Metal Nameplates for Durable Identification, Branding, and Equipment Labeling.
Metal Nameplates
Metal nameplates provide durable, long-lasting identification and communication forequipment, products, and industrial systems. They can be used to display electricalratings, safety warnings, operating instructions, product identification, asset information,and other important details.
Designed for demanding environments, metal nameplates can withstand exposure tohigh temperatures, humidity, rain, abrasion, solvents, cleaners, oils, fuels, and otherchallenging conditions. They are commonly used by OEMs serving the oil and gas,industrial power, defense, medical equipment, heavy equipment, and transportationmarkets.
Material Options
Metal nameplates are available in several materials and thicknesses:
- Aluminum: Standard alloys, anodized aluminum, and MetalPhoto® aluminum, in thicknesses ranging from 0.003" to 0.250"
- Stainless Steel: Available in thicknesses ranging from 0.008" to 0.125"
- Brass: Available in thicknesses ranging from 0.016" to 0.125"
Imaging and Printing Options
- Chemical Etching: Graphics are etched into the metal surface and may be left unfilled or filled with paint.
- Screen Printing: One or more colors are printed directly onto the surface of the nameplate.
- Digital Inkjet Printing: One or more colors are printed directly onto the metal, with options for variable data and barcodes.
- MetalPhoto®: Graphics are imaged and sealed within the anodic layer of the aluminum. This process produces a high-resolution nameplate suited for extreme conditions and applications requiring serialization, variable information, or machine-readable barcodes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a sample or prototype before ordering production quantities?
Yes. BTI’s Accelerated Parts Program is designed to get customers prototypes quickly, so you can review a part before moving to production. Samples of similar products are also available at no charge.
Are BTI's nameplates made under a certified quality system?
Yes. BTI is ISO 9001:2015 with Design certified. The certification covers the design, development, prototyping and manufacture of nameplates, so your nameplates are built under a documented quality system.
Is there a lower-cost alternative to metal nameplates?
Yes. A printed label made with polycarbonate and metallic inks can capture the metallic look and feel of metal for a fraction of the cost. These labels are weather-resistant and can be embossed for added depth.
Can a printed label look like a metal nameplate?
Yes. Metallic inks recreate the look of metal, and printed labels can be embossed to create the same 3D effect as a metal nameplate.
What if my current metal nameplate supplier can no longer make my part?
