The plates are made of high quality brass/coppe alloys. <br><br> Personalize yours by choosing from popular and classic fonts and symbols. <br><br> At EnM Engraving, we use laser to mark directly into metal for durable and laser-sharp work. Mount it to nameplates, artwork, frames, gifts, trophies and awards. We use only high quality solid brass blanks. This is not a metal-like faux plate, it is real brass, and then engraved using our laser engraver. Recommend for indoor applications.
