All Star Signs is at the forefront of helping with the setup of metal dedication plaques in San Diego County, CA. For example, we have worked with Balfour Beatty Construction on the design, production, and installation of a plaque at Logan Elementary School. As part of our work with Webcor on Camp Pendleton, we put together a dedication plaque for installation.
Cast Bronze Plaques
Of course, we also work with clients directly – as we did with Southwestern College when it commissioned a dedication plaque. You will notice that all of these products are cast metal. This refers to a manufacturing technique that allows for the display of three-dimensional lettering and any symbols you want to feature. Technicians produce these plaques by pouring molten bronze into a custom-made mold.
What are Etched Metal Plaques?
Casting metal is not the only manufacturing process. Some clients prefer etched plaques that require a chemical processing of an existing sheet of metal. Etching creates recessed letters or logos. During the finishing, technicians fill these grooves with paint. Because etched metal plaques lack the allure of 3D lettering, clients typically choose them when their dedication features quite a bit of written text.
The etching process is unbeatable when you want to focus attention on thinner line work. In this way, technicians can reproduce entire documents, maps, or photos. Occasionally, clients have us combine etched multiple plaques for an impressive wall display.
What You Need to Know about Metal Dedication Plaques in San Diego County CA
You do not have to run a military base or school to benefit from the aesthetic benefits that a metal plaque brings to your property. Choose it to highlight a historical building, create a community spot, memorialize a beloved member of the community, or remind generations to come of the hands that built a school, fire station, library, or green space.
