Etch and fill nameplates
DuraTech creates custom solutions for etch and fill nameplates
Etch and fill nameplates
Permanence and Legibility Etched materials have the inherent properties of being able to endure harsh indoor or outdoor applications especially extreme weather, temperature and chemical exposures. These products will outlast any printed product.
Images are chemically etched into the metal substrate surface and then filled with enamel ink for added aesthetic and functional value. Because the process is a chemical etch you will be guaranteed a readable part for the life of the metal substrate.
Etch and fill nameplates are well-suited for rating and asset tags, machine identification and industrial nameplates.
