Cast Bronze Plaques

Cast bronze plaques are available in brushed satin, polished, and oxidized finishes. All options are sealed with a protective clear coat. Over time, outdoor plaques may develop a rich patina — often a dark brown or green tone — that adds character without reducing readability.

You can personalize your plaque with: - Fonts and border styles - Background colors (standard or Pantone-matched) - Raised logos or custom artwork - Image options such as bas relief or photo rendering

Bronze plaques can include images using the following techniques: - Bas Relief: A hand-sculpted, dimensional portrait cast in bronze - Photo Relief: A converted photo rendered in low relief - Etched Metal: Great for line art or architectural illustrations - UV Printed: Full-color images printed directly onto metal (for indoor or covered outdoor use)

Our plaque layout artists are among the best in the industry. After your deposit is received, we begin crafting a digital proof showing layout, font sizing, images, and finish. - We lay out your wording in a clear and elegant format - You can submit a layout if already designed — we may suggest refinements - Layout begins only after deposit due to the custom design time involved - We include up to 2 rounds of revisions to finalize your design

For readability, we recommend ¼″ letters for all-caps and ⅜″ for mixed case. Text capacity depends on the overall size, layout, and font. Our designers will guide you to ensure clarity and balance.
