8/24/2025 - DRAFT....
Our new line of address plaques have been many years in the make. The material and machines to create these have been around for decades. So why haven't others done it?
A LOT of nuance was required to do this in a manner that could be commercialized and profitable. The standard machining methods and machine configurations for this commercial sign material had to be re-thought to make things efficient enough to bring these to life as a viable product. We have developed a few trade secrets that make us the only provider of these on the planet as of 2025.
We are currently offering these in one shape and size and with just the fonts shown at this time. We expect to expand those options in the future.
General Information
The Address Plaques consist of a front plate with your numbers and letters cut out and a back plate that is larger than the front plate. The back plate creates the color for the outer trim, and it creates the color for your text.
You can then change the color of the text by inserting reflective material or other offerings we have between the plates. The reflective material is a commercial tape, and you have actually seen it on fire engines, ambulances, road signs., etc.
The plates are 1/8" thick commercial sign material -- made of either Aluminum Composite Material (information below) or Acrylic, , with UV resistant qualities.
Dimensions
7.5" tall x 15.25" wide
Line 1 - 2.25" tall characters - Arial Bold (up to 5 numbers)
Line 2 - 1.75" tall characters - Arial (13 letter or spaces or more if condensed or shrunk)
For our current shapes and designes, the pricing ranges from $65 for basic finishes and no reflective material and it's about $95 for premium finishes on both plates, reflective material, and all the mounting options.
We are launching these plaques in 1 size and shape and with only the Arial fonts shown at this time. We have other shapes and fonts to offer at a later date.
There is no difference in pricing for more characters. The pricing is all dictated on material and other options chosen.
They can be mounted to walls and posts with several bolt hole options available. We are working on stands and systems to make them ground mountable and hangable without having to be creative yourself as well.

Front and/or Back Plate Alternative - 1/8" Acrylic
Black Gloss (BLACK/ACR/GLOSS)
Black Matte (BLACK/ACR/MATTE)
The reason to select the Acrylic in Black vs the ACP is primarily if you want a high gloss or matte finish as opposed to semi-gloss AND/OR because the CNC laser cut characters on the front plate are just a little more crisp to a discerning eye than those done by the CNC Router on the ACP. From 5 feet away no one could tell the difference in lettering but you could see the difference in sheen.
The acrylic is a more expensive material, it's more temperamental, and more prone to cracking. If you were to overtighten a screw you could crack it. For most applications we encourate the ACP first but the Acrylic loooks really sharp as long as the cost and comparable handling requirements are considered.
The glossy black is in the front and the matte black is in the rear. The glossy has almost a mirrored shine to it. The matte black has not reflective quality at all . (NOTE: the ACP Black is between these two from a sheen perspective)
