CUSTOM PLAQUE AWARDS & SIGNS

In the signage industry, the word “plaque” can be used to describe various types of awards and signs.

Custom plaques made of wood or metal are highly customizable and have a variety of applications. For buildings and outdoor spaces, plaques are usually used to identify or mark a place of significance. While award plaques are often used to recognize an individual or organization and can be designed to be attached to a wall or freestanding.

Learn more about the benefits of wood and metal plaques, and consider how to design custom award plaques and signs that meet your unique needs.

While metal plaques are often meant for exterior use, they are also suitable for interior purposes including awards, identifying a place of significance, or ADA and wayfinding signage. Additionally, at the end of their useful life metal plaques are recyclable.
