Engraving Copper and brass of signs, nameplates and name tags

Information signs, nameplates and name badges

Being a professional engraver it can be challenging to engrave signs, nameplates, name tags or giveaways. Besides custom-made items for professional or private use, business clients often order big amounts of signs which have to manufactured in series productions. In both cases, the CNC engraving machine of production line meets the highest demands in terms of engraving metal, plastic and wood, no matter if you want to engrave information signs, door signs or nameplates.

Especially when you offer metal signs with customised engravings, the in-house production is a great alternative. Using machine as a plasma cutter, you can produce metal signs with custom shapes which makes you stand out from other vendors who only offer small signs with standard shapes.
CNC engraver for unique signs

Using the engraving machine of standard line you can engrave written characters and motifs on signs made of metal, wood and plastic. We also offer suitable fonts for engravings. Moreover, you can cut shapes out of any material to design unique signs.

Door plate engraving

The engraving of front door plates is also very easy with our CNC machinery. All engraving of engraving signs is extremely simple with the help of our free * CAD CAM software ConstruCAM-3D, since the finished engraving file is automatically created in a few steps from your door sign design to send it to the machine which ultimately engraves the front door sign or even other signs.

Door signs are often also directly provided with house numbers or even with a hole for the bell. The preferred materials for door sign engravings are also stainless steel and plexiglass. Often one also sees one or the other nicely designed home door sign of wood. There is no limit whether 2D or 3D engravings are incorporated into the signs.

It is also possible to use special weather-resistant engraving plastics, which are available with colored or metal surfaces, in order to produce door signs. There are no limits to the creative design of the door signs.

Therefore, one should not necessarily come directly from the first sign makers when seeking an individual door sign for yourself and your family. Often it is a small service provider, who can engrave first-class and individual signs and do not act so price-intensively.

Signs, prohibition signs and warning signs

In the end there are of course also the so popular warning signs and prohibition signs (caution watch dog, warning caution slippery, caution oil track, no smoking, parking prohibited, everything prohibited :-)) and the often helpful signs and warning signs.

Since these are almost exclusively commercial signs, without any aesthetic value, these signs are generally expedient. These types of signs are therefore usually engraved in inexpensive materials.

These include plastics, engraving plastics such as Transply or Ply, as well as Trotec (the company name), which is only indicated differently. All of these plastics are multi-layer, colored laminates specially for engraving and the sign engraving.

Signs made of engraving plastics

Useful signs are mostly made of weather-resistant engraving plastics. Here, various multi-layer plastics are available for up to 3 color layers. From Transply, Plexiglas or PVC.

Plexiglass is engraved from behind mirror-inverted. This two-layered material has on the back a colored, thinner layer, which is engraved from the back to the transparent plexiglass layer. If you place the shield in another color, the color appears from the front through the transparent plexiglass layer. If you set nothing behind, the engraved characters or letters are always black.

In the case of backlight, of course, the light color of the lamp is seen.

TRANSPLY is a multicolored plastic for signs engraved with final result to get more colors in a sign. Here you can choose from countless top coat colors to the chromatically glossy surface or alu brushed, satined surface.
