Brass is a robust and malleable metal that performs well in indoor and outdoor environments, offering excellent resistance to saltwater, corrosion, tarnish, chemicals and solvents, as well as extreme temperatures. Additionally, it is a metal often used in applications where explosive elements are present, as it will not generate sparks.
Brass can be polished to a near mirror-like appearance or given a satin (slightly brushed) finish, making it a popular choice for nameplates and signs in industrial and decorative applications.
Metalphoto of Cincinnati offers nameplates in a variety of standard material options, including our proprietary Metalphoto® substrate. Metalphoto is photosensitive anodized aluminum, which features a silver and black photographic image that is embedded within the sapphire-hard anodic layer of the aluminum. This combination gives a Metalphoto part an outdoor life of over 20 years, and makes it extremely resistant to damage or degradation from environmental factors like abrasion, UV fading, harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and corrosion from saltwater exposure. The National Association of Graphic and Product Identification Manufacturers (GPI) Industry Standards and Practices Manual identifies Metalphoto as the most durable printed aluminum substrate available, and it has been trusted by industry, government and military organizations like Caterpillar, The US Navy, NASA, and Boeing for over 50 years. Metalphoto offers many unique features including:

We had a custom order and frankly I expected long delays. As it turned out – the only delays were on my end, and they had lightning fast turnaround with every change and edit (and we had more than a few) that we made. The plaque got to us faster than I ever imagined, and it was EXACTLY what we wanted in size and look. Literally perfect.
Great product, company reps are easy to work with and design issues are cooperatively resolved in a timely manner.
