Engraved Nameplates
The Choice for Superior Abrasion Resistance
MPC’s engraved nameplates offer excellent resistance to a variety of common conditions in indoor and outdoor applications, such as extreme temperatures, chemicals and solvents, abrasion, and corrosion. Depending on your requirements and application specifications, engraved nameplates can be a cost-effective alternative to Metalphoto for certain applications. Please consult MPC for more information.
MPC’s engraved nameplates have screen printed graphics that are sealed beneath the anodic layer, offering added durability. Edges and holes are fabricated in accordance to part design after the imaging process and therefore are not anodized. Customers can opt for a secondary process for thicknesses of .063″ or more to anodize, alodine, or paint these edges to provide added protection and durability.
