How to Create Bronze Plaques

Ordering plaques in bulk requires attention to detail and proper planning. Whether you need a group of interpretive plaques installed in a series, award plaques, or orientation signs, there are a few things we would like to suggest from the beginning:

TIPS FROM PLAQUE MANUFACTURERS

# 1 PLAN AHEAD

In the age of one-click shopping, many of our customers don't expect custom license plaques to take the time it takes to produce.. Each of our projects is designed to the taste of our client, and once the order is finalized, the designs go through patterning, casting, and finishing processes before shipment. Our plaques are made by skillful artisans who value their craft and are proud of the Bronze product.

For single plaque orders and smaller quantities, we typically need four weeks to produce and deliver the job. For certain projects, we can accelerate this lead time to two weeks for an additional fee. If the bulk order has more than 25 plaques, the manufacturing time is usually about 6 weeks. For orders over 100, we usually ship them in installments and the manufacturing time is determined by the size of each plaque and the total quantity.

# 2 CONSIDER STORAGE

For bulk orders and plaques over 4 feet in size, storage can become an issue. When you start planning your plaque contents, also begin to consider a secure storage area where  Order Plaques Online can be received and stored. Bronze Plaques do not provide storage once the plaques have been fabricated to maintain a neat shop environment.

# 3 ORDER A SAMPLE PLAQUE

Better safe than sorry, we always say. If time permits, we suggest that you order a single plaque before proceeding with a large order. We can produce a sample plaque in two weeks, giving our customers the opportunity to review the final product before 100, 500, 1000 plaques arrive at their doorstep. Sample plaques give our customers the option to review a plaque in person and make any necessary design changes, avoiding problems in the final order.

We also have in-house samples that can be sent to clients on tighter schedules.

# 4 WE INVEST IN A HIGH-QUALITY METAL

Bronze Plaques is all about quality.  While bronze and stainless steel are slightly more expensive than other metals, they last much longer, and the investment pays off over time. Our customer relations team can work with you to determine the highest quality product that fits your budget.

COMMON TYPES OF PLAQUES ORDERED IN NUMBERS OF QUANTITIES:

WALKS OF FAME

The walks of fame (similar to Hollywood stars in Los Angeles) are typically orders of big quantities that are installed underfoot, commemorating specific individuals. These plaques are created using a base design, with the exchange of honorees' names.

INTERPRETIVE PLAQUES

Interpretive plaques are informational text plaques or illustrate markers that often lead the viewer through a park or building while significant a story. The plaques can show the passage of time from one part to another, or represent unique events that took place at the specific site where these plaques were installed.

BULK ORDERS

Bulk order projects are bulk orders of a plaque design and are often produced in large quantities. Many clients will be attracted in ordering hundreds of plaques for a building or group award, and it is imperative that each plaque looks reliable.
