Etched Plaques
 Etched plaques are made by acid-etching graphic images into sheets of metal. The etching process permits exact reproductions of artwork for interior and exterior signage. Finely detailed lines and small lettering are captured in the etched metal. The etching process has the ability to replecate a photograph capturing fine detail using a halftone process.

Cast plaques are made by pouring molten metal into sand molds. The casting process creates plaques with two levels of graphics - raised and recessed. The cast plaque is vandal resistant and the metal will not break. Cast plaques weathers better in exterior locations than etched plaques due to the fact that it has more metals in the alloy. Bronze plaques are created from molten bronze alloy and are solid bronze. Aluminum plaques offer a less expensive lighter weight alternative to the bronze; however, they patena faster.
