FAQ

Common questions

Is plastic durable enough for outdoor use?+

Yes, with the right resin and UV-stable coatings, plastic nameplates hold up well outdoors, including marine environments — though metal remains the choice for the harshest conditions.

How does chrome-plated plastic compare to real metal?+

Vacuum-metallized plastic achieves a very similar bright, reflective look to chrome-plated metal, at a lower weight and cost, though it’s less abrasion-resistant.

What’s the minimum order quantity?+

We work with orders starting from 100 pieces up through large-scale OEM production runs.

How long does production take?+

Standard production is 5-6 weeks from design approval. Free samples ship in 10-14 business days.
