Durable Nameplates for Machinery & Equipment

Industrial nameplates are critical for identification of machinery and equipment throughout numerous industries and lifetime durability is essential. If these Nameplates degrade, fade, or detach, they fail their purpose of providing truly permanent identification.

Common issues include:

• Fading Graphics due to UV exposure, abrasion, or contact with harsh chemicals
  
• Improper Adhesion on textured or coated surfaces
  
• Limited Durability in extreme temperatures or high-wear zones
  
• Inflexible Layouts that don’t support future updates or variable data
  
• Generic Appearance that lacks branding or visual clarity
  

At Express, we solve these problems with high-performance nameplates designed for industrial strength and brand precision:

• Material Versatility: From rugged anodized aluminum or stainless steel to polycarbonate, choose the right build for your environment
  
• Full Customization: Logos, layouts, sequential numbering, color coding, and engraving fields
  
• Professional Branding: Plates that look as good as they perform—designed to reflect your company’s professionalism
  
• Application-Ready Options: Adhesive backing or mechanical mounting for permanent placement
