Plastic Engraving Plates

Remove the surface layer of these plates to create an engraved message in a contrasting color. Made of plastic, they withstand mild acids and are more corrosion resistant than metal plates.
Adhesive-back plates stick to surfaces. Use them when you only have access to one side of a surface, or when components behind a panel could be damaged by bolts or rivets.
ABS plates are the most common option for rotary engravers. Don't use them with laser engravers since they will burn.
Acrylic plates work well with laser engravers, which engrave quickly and create complex designs. They are also compatible with rotary engravers. Resistant to UV rays, these plates won’t fade in the sun.

Color-Contrasting Metal Engraving Plates

Remove the surface layer of these plates to create an engraved message in a contrasting color. Made of anodized aluminum, these plates are lightweight, nonconductive, and corrosion resistant. They’re also more durable than plastic plates. They work with rotary and laser engravers.
Adhesive-back plates stick to surfaces. Use them when you only have access to one side of a surface, or when components behind a panel could be damaged by bolts or rivets.
Plates that meet ASTM, Fed. Spec., and MIL specifications meet strict standards for use in corrosive environments.

Plastic Color-Contrasting Engraving Signs

Remove the surface layer of these signs to create an engraved message in a contrasting color.
ABS plates work with rotary engravers.
Acrylic plates work with rotary and laser engravers. They are UV resistant so they won't fade in the sun.
HDPE plates—also known as ColorCore sheets—work with CNC and hand routers. They won’t degrade when exposed to water, humidity, and UV light.
