  1. Nameplate thickness | What does it mean for your application? Prepared by, Melrose www.melrose-nl.com

  2. Does nameplate thickness matter to your project? An Overview! www.melrose-nl.com

  3. When choosing a nameplate solution for a project, the most important aspect to consider is thickness. Nameplate thickness directly impacts the life of the material used; durability! The level of detail that can be added to the material surface also depends on this factor. Learn about thickness effects on the outcome of the project, metal’s rigidity and strength, various thickness, and its details (taking aluminum as an example). www.melrose-nl.com

  4. The impact of material thickness & its outcome • Two factors that correlate with thickness are rigidityand strength. • Rigidity: Metal’s resistance to bending whereas strength indicates the degree of protection against the breakage. • More thickness means more rigid, which ultimately makes the material durable. • Strength: An additional support to the material used - making the nameplate last for long! Note: Always consider the level of thickness to avoid injuring people. www.melrose-nl.com

  5. Aluminum nameplates & various thickness levels • Aluminum is one of the popular material choices for nameplates; the reason - a plethora of thickness ranges! • The range starts from 0.002 to 0.063 inches. • Take a look at various thickness values that may match your project requirements. 0.002 inches: • Extremely thin material • Soft and malleable • Perfect for foil label applications • Using adhesives offers a practical solution www.melrose-nl.com

  6. 0.008 inches: • Thin but not easily bendable • Suitable for less demanding nameplate use • The commonly used application includes control panel or airplane labels 0.012 inches: • Cost-effective manufacturing solution • Resist bending • Produces light-weight aluminum material • Can affix to the desired surface with adhesives • Used on doors, desks, and other least bendable surfaces www.melrose-nl.com

  7. 0.016 inches: • Falls under the medium rigid category • Ideal for applications with the embossing marking process • Used for decorative trim plate creation and for promotional plates 0.020 inches: • An ideal thickness combination of rigidity and functionality • Perfect for aluminum nameplate marking projects that involve etching, engraving, digital printing, and many other methods www.melrose-nl.com

  8. 0.032 inches: • Thick nameplate solution with an optimum level of durability and flexibility • Idea choice if needed to add a high volume of information • The thickness reference -> a simple credit card 0.063 inches: • Thicker standard nameplates - Maximum rigidity and superior strength • Won’t be able to bend the finished product • Compatible with various marking methods • Thickness is ideal for larger nameplates that require screw or bracket mounting 0.125 inches: • Useful for special jobs and can be printed based on specifics • High thickness value www.melrose-nl.com

  9. That’s all about various thickness values of aluminum nameplates. Likewise, every metal used to manufacture nameplate has its own properties, ask the nameplate manufacturer regarding its details before opting for the right thickness range. Improper range may not match the required application standards. So always consider the thickness value that matches the project requirements. www.melrose-nl.com
