Custom dedication plaques are available in bronze, aluminum, stainless steel, etched glass, and acrylic. Each material offers a unique aesthetic — from the classic patina of bronze to the sleek, modern look of stainless or glass. We’ll help you select the best material based on your location, branding, and design goals.
