Thinking about buying a number plate press from Plate Factory? This video shows how simple the process is.
Pressed Metal Number Plates (not 3d Gel or 4d Number Plates) can be made by using two types of machine:
1) Manual Press using double layered plates (as in this video) - This machine has no running costs other than the plates themselves. This machine is not designed to be used with cheaper lower quality material - it must use material with a thickness of at least 1.30mm.
2) Electric Press with Hot Stamping - These types of machines are around ten times larger than the one in this video, and a substantially more expensive. Initially, the machine presses the digits on to a blank white or yellow plate, and then the ink for the digits is applied separately, using a second machine. As the machines are electric and have many moving parts, the set-up, maintenance and ink costs mean that the overall costs may be substantially higher than the manual press in the video.
If you would like further information on how to make these types of metal plates, 2d printed plates, 3d gel plates and 4d laser cut number plates, please feel free to contact us for free consultancy advice.
We can also give you valuable advice about which types of plates are road legal when it comes to bsau145d, bsau145e, whether 3d and 4d plates are legal or not, and also how you can easily register with the DVLA (we can only supply to DVLA registered parties).
