Don’t let harsh environments compromise your product identification. NFI Corp manufactures durable, custom metal nameplates designed to withstand demanding conditions, ensuring long-lasting readability, adhesion, and performance.

Example Uses of Metal Nameplates

NFI Corp.’s custom metal nameplates serve organizations around the world, in many different ways. Here are just a few examples:

Aircraft, boats, trucks, and other transportation equipment – Whether military or commercial, all types of airplanes, helicopters, boats, ships, trucks, and other transportation vehicles require exceptionally durable custom metal nameplates, identification plates, and serial plates.
Construction, HVAC, and other outdoor equipment and machinery – NFI Corp’s custom metal nameplates can boast high-performing durability, even after years of exposure to extreme environmental conditions: heat and humidity, UV light, harsh industrial solvents, abrasive cleansers, and even saltwater immersion!
Precision tools used in the manufacturing process – Dials, scales, and templates that last for years are critical tools in machining and manufacturing processes. At NFI Corp., we understand your need for absolute precision. After all, an out-of-spec metal template (for example) simply is not acceptable. Choose from stainless steel, aluminum, plated alloys, or brass for your die, scale, or template. Plus, we can emboss any design or measurement system on your tool.
Tamperproof metal asset/property tags – It happens all-too-often: your company’s tools, equipment, and machinery can be lost, misplaced, or stolen. To identify assets and discourage theft, you can turn to NFI Corp.’s durable, tamperproof, self-adhesive metal asset tags.

Custom Shapes & Sizes

Backed by 40 years in the metal nameplate business, NFI Corp. has an exceptional library of standard shapes and sizes in stainless steel, aluminum, plated alloys, and brass.

Need unusual shapes or sizes? Just ask – we’re here to help. If you need an original, custom design for your metal nameplate, take advantage of our Prototype Program. You can order 10 pieces to verify the nameplate’s shape and overall look-and-feel. This provides an opportunity to adhere the prototype nameplate to your product or machine housing to ensure form, fit, and function.

Material Options

Selecting the right material for your metal nameplates is essential for long-term durability and performance. Explore ASTM International’s metals standards to learn more about material properties and specifications.

Standard Options for Metal Plates

Our in-house engineering-based designers will work with you to select the options and specifications that meet your needs:

Color Choices

The sky’s the limit! As you can see in the photos on this page, your custom metal nameplate can sport any color or combination of colors. This is especially good news if you want to showcase your company logo on a metal nameplate, proudly and permanently attached to your product.

Adhesive versus Screw Holes

Which is best for your application: high-performance adhesive or screw holes for mechanical attachment? Our in-house engineering-based designers will discuss your application with you, including the mounting surface, environment, and exposure to industrial solvents.

Often, cutouts or screw holes are the best solution to rivet or screw your custom metal nameplate to the product or equipment’s surface. But don’t overlook the power of long-lasting adhesives. At NFI Corp., we pride ourselves in our engineered adhesives. Our designers will carefully select the appropriate adhesive to match your requirements – an adhesive that will provide permanent application.
