Custom Brass Name Plates

Custom brass name plates offer a classic, gold-like appearance while remaining a cost-effective alternative to traditional gold plates. Brass is a corrosion-resistant alloy made from copper and zinc, known for its strength, durability, and decorative finish.

Although often confused with bronze, brass has a brighter, more gold-toned color, while bronze typically carries a more reddish hue. This distinct appearance makes brass a popular choice for visually appealing nameplates and signage.

Brass is widely used for decorative applications due to its rich color and ability to be machined, formed, and finished with precision. It is commonly selected for commemorative plaques, signage, and other high-visibility nameplate applications.

Variants such as leaded brass can improve machinability, making it easier to create detailed designs. Brass is also highly malleable and has a relatively low melting point, which makes it suitable for casting and custom fabrication.

Due to its non-sparking properties, brass is often used in environments where safety is critical, including certain electrical and plumbing applications.

Available brass thicknesses include:

• .020"
• .025"
• .032"
• .064"
• .125"

With its combination of durability, workability, and premium appearance, brass remains a popular material choice for both functional and decorative nameplates.
