Perfect Impression tm
etched plates
ada signage
Perfect ImpressionTM plaques feature a revolutionary pattern process which allows the designer to create beautiful multi-dimensional plaques at a fraction of the cost of bas relief castings. You supply the high resolution photos and our artists can create collages or a single photo pictorial to depict the story behind your project. This process gives you slightly lower relief than a true sculpted piece, but gives much more relief than a conventional etched portrait.
The design possibilities are endless with these unique graphic products. Available in a wide variety of finishes, metals, and sizes. Etched materials include aluminum, brass, bronze, magnesium, zinc, stainless steel and glass. All of these products are available in a wide variety of thicknesses to help fit your needs.
We offer a full line of ADA compliant signage for interior or exterior applications in aluminum, magnesium, brass, bronze, glass and zinc. Many stock patterns are available, or we can create custom signage to meet your particular need. A wide variety of stock colors are available or we can match your custom colors (upon request).
See our metal letter specifications for the color choices we have to offer.
