As everyone knows, popular companies and manufacturing firms love to distribute their own products thanks to one interesting little thing. A nameplate is a great option for an inscription that briefly displays the necessary information about the object it is attached to.
Manufacturers of household appliances, cosmetics and other technical products always independently develop a certain logo and create a nameplate to indicate belonging to a particular company.
Many people have heard the word "nameplate" itself. What it is and how to use it, unfortunately, not everyone knows. Therefore, all information can be found in this article.
Definition
The nameplate is a kind of information plate where the manufacturer places an entry related to the marked product. As you know, there are several types of nameplates. For example, it can be a steel plate or a regular sticker with three-dimensional elements.
3D sticker
Nameplates with some volumetric elements have a self-adhesive surface, which is notmust be processed before attaching to the object. Nameplates of this type can be both hard and soft, which can be easily bent. On top they are covered with a good layer of polymer that protects against dust, dirt, scratches and more. Plastic polymer coating ensures long-term preservation of the original appearance, as any scratches and dents disappear on their own after a short time.
Production
The unique nameplate is a very popular item, and it will be very difficult to repeat all the steps that the machine performs during manufacture. But still, you can make it yourself in this way:
- First you need to purchase a self-adhesive or just a solid base that can be influenced by printers. The image is applied using inkjet or laser printing.
- The image is then cut or carved into a precise outline using lasers or other devices.
- And the final step is resin coating. Here, each person independently chooses for himself the desired hardness, shade, and so on. Most often, polyurethane and epoxy resins are used in this matter.
And the treasured product will be completely ready in a day. Such a nameplate will bring great pleasure. The information plate is also made by hand, and the result is quite good.
Application
Soft nameplates are used exclusively for sewing products or small additions. They are also often usedto decorate souvenirs. Bicycles, skateboards, scooters are also often decorated with soft volumetric magnets.
Stronger and larger nameplates with engraving are used for official purposes: plates on cabinets, car decorations, key rings and so on.
Benefits
Self-adhesive and original painted nameplate is a great way not only to mark the affiliation with the manufacturer, but also simply to decorate any other product. 3D pictures with excellent design make it easy to spread an under-famous product or simply point out the manufacturer.
Nameplates have a big plus - they stick very well to any surface. A special substance is added to the material of manufacture, which, when combined with glue, forms a sufficiently strong adhesion not only to a smooth surface, but to any other surface.
Particularly famous are the varieties of voluminous stickers used to decorate refrigerators and other things. They are also called nameplates and are very popular.
Besides this, another significant advantage is the resistance of the material to any temperature, various types of liquids, oils, ultraviolet rays and many other adverse effects.
It should also be noted that nameplates are produced for different purposes and, accordingly, in different shapes and in interesting colors. Thus, each person can purchase or make to order such a little thing for any occasion.
Light nameplates
Production has already advanced really far, so now various plants and factories reproduce and sell interesting things that people like and bring a lot of benefits. The light label is a great option for a car. Such an extraordinary design solution for decorating a car is now not very cheap, but still they are just like hot cakes among car lovers. Due to its presence on the body of the vehicle, theft protection will increase by a certain percentage, since such cars are considered conspicuous and solid. Therefore, when choosing, you should choose a nameplate as bright as possible so that the level of protection is even greater and visually looks more pleasant for the owner of the car itself.
Stainless steel plate should not be used for this case, as the body will scratch and crack from strong pressure. Here it is best to take soft and elastic options, although this is at the discretion of the driver. For tuning enthusiasts, there have never been limits, they can choose completely strange and original accessories for their car and enjoy them.
Creating highlights
In fact, to purchase a light nameplate, it is not at all necessary to bother too much and look in all online stores, markets, and so on. After all, you can do such a wonderful thing yourself. For those who want to decorate the logo of their own car, there are a couple of the most popular options:
- Using plexiglass.
- WhenPCB.
For the first option, you will need to remove the casing, then the logo itself. On a sheet of plain paper, you need to clearly outline the logo with a pencil, and then transfer it to 3 mm thick plexiglass. Now you need to carefully cut it along the contour and drill holes for the legs. Then connect the logo to the glass, insert the LEDs along the contour (the wires must be thin). And the last step will be the insertion of the mounting pins and, in fact, the mount itself in the right place.
The second option will be a little easier and more interesting, but it will take more time. For it, you need to make a logo out of the board (with scissors or carefully cut it out), then apply the diode connection diagram there and put the already cut-out plexiglass figure on top.
These simple options will help to significantly improve your own car and make it popular among neighbors in a short period of time.
And in addition to car decorations, you can also see luminous nameplates as the names of elite establishments and so on.
