Which marking solutions should you choose for durable and attractive signage?
The choice of marking solutions for the durable and aesthetic signage depends on several criteria: the type of material, the environment of use, the required readability and the desired visual effect. Whether for industrial, commercial or institutional applications, it is essential to select the best marking technique to ensure resistance and clarity.
Among the available options, the engraved or printed metal or plastic plates, as well as engraved or printed metal or plastic labels, offer solutions adapted to all requirements.
Engraved or printed metal or plastic plate: which solution should you choose?
The metal plates et plastic plates are the most common supports for the signage and identificationThey can be personalized using different marking techniques: laser engraving, mechanical engraving, chemical etching, digital printing and screen printing.
The metal plates (aluminum material, stainless, brass, etc.) are recognized for their resistance to extreme conditions (temperature, humidity, abrasion). They are perfectly suited to industrial environments, manufacturer's plates and conformity plates.
Plastic plates (PVC, PMMA, polycarbonate, gravoply, etc.) are ideal for interior signage or applications requiring lightness and flexibility. They offer an economical alternative while guaranteeing excellent visual quality.
Engraved or printed metal or plastic label: a strategic choice
The engraved or printed labels are often used for product identification, industrial traceability or personalized signage. They must be chosen based on their exposure to the environment and the specific constraints of use.
A engraved metal label is ideal for permanent marking, resistant to wear and chemical attack.
A engraved plastic label is an economical and durable solution for indoor use.
A printed label, made of metal or plastic, is an interesting alternative when a large amount of information needs to be displayed with complex colors and graphic details.
Marking techniques for durable and aesthetic signage
1. Laser engraving: precision and durability
Laser engraving is a highly sought-after method for its extreme precision and durability. It is particularly suitable for engraved metal or plastic plates and allows for a clear and permanent mark. This technique is ideal for nameplates, manufacturer's plates, and technical labels requiring perfect legibility.
2. Mechanical engraving: robustness and depth
Mechanical engraving offers a hollow marking, achieved by milling the material. This process is ideal for metal plates and ensures high resistance to extreme conditions. It is particularly used for manufacturer plates and identification plates in industry.
3. Chemical etching: finesse and precision
Chemical etching is a technique for producing detailed and elegant markings on metal plates (stainless steel, brass, aluminum). This process is ideal for luxury nameplates, brand plates, and decorative plates requiring a refined finish.
4. Digital printing: flexibility and creativity
Digital printing allows printing directly onto metal or plastic surfaces. It offers great graphic freedom and allows for the integration of colors, logos, or photographs with high resolution. This technique is ideal for printed labels, advertising signage, or communication panels.
5. Screen printing: color intensity and resistance
Screen printing is a printing technique used for solid color markings, ensuring excellent resistance to UV rays and external aggressions. It is often used for printed plastic plates, industrial stickers, and advertising signs.
Which marking solution should you choose depending on your needs?
The choice between engraving and printing depends on usage and technical constraints:

- Chemical etching: Recommended for very detailed engravings on metal, especially stainless steel and brass.
These methods allow you to obtain logos, numbering, QR codes or pictograms with excellent readability.
Secure and tamper-proof marking
In many industries, permanent and tamper-proof marking is essential to ensure equipment traceability or product authenticity. Engraving is an ideal solution for:
- Manufacturer's plates where the identification of the machines must remain intact despite the years.
- Safety plates, essential for compliance with regulatory standards.
- Traceability labels in the industrial and logistics sectors.
Unlike adhesive or printed markings, engraving cannot be removed or altered without damaging the plate itself, making it ideal for regulatory and safety applications.
A wide choice of materials for engraving
Engraving can be applied to a wide variety of materials, each with its own advantages:
- Metals : aluminum, stainless steel, brass → robustness and elegance.
- Plastics: PMMA, polycarbonate, PVC → lightness and flexibility.
- Bi-materials (Gravoply) → high contrast for better readability.
This wide selection allows engraving to be adapted to the specific needs of each company, whether for office signage, industrial identification plates or high-end brand plates.
Opt for the engraving on metal and plastic guarantees long-term, unalterable, legible, and secure marking. Advanced techniques such as laser, mechanical, or chemical engraving make it possible to achieve exceptionally precise markings, suitable for demanding environments. Whether for technical plates, advertising materials, or security features, engraving remains the most reliable and durable marking method.
