The material

Why acrylic plates?

A pressed metal or printed plate is a compliance item. An acrylic plate is a finished product — deeper gloss, sharper characters and an edge detail you can feel.

Raised holographic characters

Laser-cut characters with an iridescent film that shifts colour as light moves across the plate.

Won't fade or corrode

Cast acrylic and UV-stable materials hold their gloss and colour through South African sun and rain.

Precision laser-cut

Every character and edge is cut to 0.1 mm, then flame polished for a glass-clean finish.

Built to order

Nothing is mass produced. Your plate starts on the bench the day your order is confirmed.

The process

Crafted, not mass produced

There is no warehouse of pre-made plates. Each order is cut, assembled, finished and inspected by hand — one plate at a time.

  1. 01

    Laser-cut

    Acrylic sheet and characters are cut to exact South African dimensions.

  2. 02

    Hand assembled

    Each raised character is aligned and bonded by hand — no jigs, no shortcuts.

  3. 03

    Finished

    Edges are bevelled and flame polished, the face is buffed to a mirror gloss.

  4. 04

    Inspected

    Every plate is checked under studio light before it is boxed and shipped.

Owners

Customer reviews

The holographic characters catch light exactly like the photos. It genuinely looks like a machined product, not a printed plate.
Sibusiso M. · Sandton
Gold mirror on a black car — the finish is flawless. You can feel the weight and the polished edges the second you unbox it.
Chantelle V. · Cape Town
Designed it on my phone, confirmed it that evening, and it arrived a week later packed like a piece of glassware.
