Zinc Plaques
Starting at: $200.00
Zinc plaques are ideal for detailed, durable signage that complies with ADA requirements or suits small building identification needs. Using a precision chemical etching process, we produce tactile lettering, Braille, and crisp graphics with optional paint filling in any color. Zinc is lightweight yet durable, offering corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor environments.
These plaques are commonly used for room ID signs, restroom and accessibility signage, and small building or suite markers. Choose from a variety of sizes, fonts, and paint colors. All plaques are sealed with a protective clear coat and mounted with either stud mounts or screws through face. Order online for standard sizes and layout options, or use our quote form for custom configurations. Rush production and nationwide installation are available.

Zinc plaques are an excellent choice for ADA-compliant signage in interior environments. They allow for precise tactile lettering, Grade 2 braille, and durable paint-filled contrast — making them ideal for room ID signs, wayfinding, and restroom signage.
Zinc supports fine detail and allows for recessed and raised elements to be etched or machined directly into the surface. This enables consistent braille spacing, accurate tactile letters, and sharp contrast for high visibility — all key features of ADA-compliant signs.
Yes. Zinc plaques are well-suited for long-term indoor installations. They are durable, low maintenance, and resistant to wear and cleaning products. However, zinc is not recommended for outdoor use as it may corrode when exposed to moisture and the elements.
Zinc ADA plaques can include: - Tactile raised letters and numbers - Grade 2 Braille (routed or bead-inserted) - Custom fonts and layout - Paint-filled backgrounds and raised characters in contrasting colors - Logos or pictograms for ADA restroom and directional signage
We offer a variety of paint or powder-coated finishes in standard and custom colors. Typical combinations include matte or textured backgrounds with high-contrast raised characters to meet ADA visibility standards.
Mounting options include: - Blind studs (for clean, tamper-resistant mounting) - Screws through face (with optional decorative rosettes) - Double-sided tape (for small interior signs or temporary mounting) We'll help determine the best method based on your surface and signage size.
