Engraved Plates / Plaques

Why Choose Personalised Engraved Plates or Plaques?

A custom-engraved plate adds a level of professionalism and recognition that pre-printed labels simply can’t match. Our plaque engraving service allows you to include names, event details, dates and even logos. From classic silver plaque finishes to black or gold effect, we offer materials that match the style and formality of any award or presentation.

Many of our engraved plates come with self-adhesive backs, making them ideal for retrofitting onto existing trophies, plaques or shields. Others are mounted directly onto wooden backings to create standalone presentation pieces. Whether you need a replacement nameplate, a future year plate for a perpetual shield, or a new design entirely, we can personalise it to your needs.

Our Range of Engraved Plates & Plaques – Materials, Styles & How to Choose

At Gravesham Trophy Centre, we offer a wide variety of engraved plates and trophy plaques tailored to suit any application. Choose from aluminium, brass or silver-effect metal, with various finishes to suit your preference. We stock common sizes or can cut custom dimensions on request.

Need a trophy plaque with your club’s logo? No problem. We can engrave text and add printed or laser-etched artwork depending on your needs. We also provide perpetual shield plates for annual awards — order a full set in advance or return each year to update your shield. Whether you’re planning an event, updating an old award, or creating something from scratch, we’re here to help you get the detail just right.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical turnaround time for engraved plates & plaques?

We typically engrave and dispatch most plates and plaques within 2–3 working days. For bulk orders or custom artwork, please allow a little extra time. If you have a fixed event date or urgent request, let us know and we’ll prioritise your order to meet your deadline.

Can I upload our logo or provide custom artwork/format for the plate?

Yes — we can include your club, school or company logo on many types of engraved plate or trophy plaque. Just upload a high-quality image file during checkout or email it to us directly. Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG) give the best results, but we can work with high-resolution JPEG or PNG images as well.

What material and size options are available for plates & plaques?

We offer a range of materials including aluminium, brass and silver plaque finishes, available in standard sizes or cut to order. Most plates are rectangular, but we also provide circular and custom shapes. Sizes range from small nameplates for trophies to full presentation plaques and boards.

Can I buy extra name plates for a perpetual trophy or future winners?

Absolutely. We supply additional name plates that can be used to update perpetual shields and trophies. You can order these individually or in bulk, and we’ll keep your engraving format on file for future consistency. Many customers return year after year to keep their awards updated with new winners.

Do you offer UK delivery and what are the shipping terms?

Yes, we offer fast and reliable UK-wide delivery. Standard delivery takes 1–3 working days from dispatch, and orders over £99 qualify for free shipping. All items are securely packaged to prevent damage during transit, especially for larger trophy plaques or plaques with wooden backings.
