7/17/2025 - DRAFT....
Our new line of address plaques has been many years in the making.
They consist of a front plate with your numbers and letters cut out and a back plate that is larger than the front plate. It creates the color for your text and the trim color around the outer edge of the front plate. Then there is an option to insert reflective material between the plates for added color and luminescence for your text.
The pricing ranges from $39 for unfinished front and back plates and no reflective material to about $85 for premium finishes on both plates and reflective material.
We are launching these plaques in 1 size and shape and with only the Arial fonts shown. At some point in the future we may offer other sizes, shapes and fonts.
Dimensions - 7.5" tall x 15 1/4" wide
Line 1 - 2.25" tall letters - Arial Bold (up to 5 numbers)

Unfinished Aluminum (AL/UNFINISHED) - mill finish fpr you to brush and seal or lightly sand and paint
1/2 - White and Black are part of Standard Pricing
3/4 - Gold and Silver part of premium pricing
5/6 - Mill finished Aluminum sold unfinished at a discount or hand brushed and sealed for premium plus pricing
Acrylic - 1/8" - for front or back plate
Black Gloss (BLACK/ACR/GLOSS)
Black Matte (BLACK/ACR/MATTE)
The reason to select the Acrylic in Black vs the ACP is primarily if you want a high gloss or matte finish as opposed to semi-gloss AND/OR because the CNC laser cut characters on the front plate are just a little more crisp to a discerning eye than those done by the CNC Router on the ACP. From 5 feet away noone could tell the difference in lettering but you could see the difference in sheen.
The glossy black is in the front and the matte black is in the rear. The glossy has almost a mirrored shine to it. The matte black has not reflective quality at all . (NOTE: the ACP Black is between these two from a sheen perspective)
