Plaques are an elegant way of honoring someone special or memorializing a significant location – they’re durable and weatherproof – letting you make a bold statement that stands the test of time. Plus they can be personalized according to any style!

Gemini offers both stainless steel and aluminum plaques. If durability is key to you, stainless steel might be your optimal option.

Cast Aluminum

Aluminum plaques serve a number of functions. Individuals often use them to commemorate important life events and remember loved ones who have passed away, while businesses use them to recognize major accomplishments and organizations display them to identify historical sites or buildings. Furthermore, they can even be displayed outdoors as outdoor sculptures commemorating significant figures or important events.

Personalised cast aluminum plaques feature raised metallic-hued letters on any background color of your choosing, protected with a powder-coated finish to repel weather conditions and stay looking new over time. Lettering up to 50 characters are included in the price, with custom engraving available at no additional charge on every plaque.

Gemini cast and precision-cut bronze, brass, or aluminum plaques and signs provide permanent solutions for professional offices, universities, government buildings and other institutions. They feature logos, symbols, photo-rendered images and text; each plaque or sign comes in 11 finishes including brushed, oxidized, polished patina or painted finishes for maximum flexibility and appeal.

The Gold Cast Aluminum Plaque with Stake is an ideal addition to dedications, memorial gardens or any outdoor project. Constructed from cast aluminum for durability against weather elements and featuring three sizes – it comes with its own 24″ bent aluminum stake. Incorporating raised double borders with recessed areas suitable for engraving plaque inserts is free and unlimited on every plaque; rear mount installation on a wall or bench is also an option.

Cast Bronze

Bronze’s rich, traditional appearance makes it the perfect material for plaques used as standard signage, historic markers, memorials, address plates or decorative projects. Over time it develops an irreplaceable chemical patina which holds up well in high traffic areas; moreover bronze stands up well to corrosion compared to aluminum alloy.

Cast bronze plaque production begins by melting down ingots of new, pure bronze in an all-electric, pollution free furnace. Once liquid, this bronze will be poured into custom molds designed to your artwork and allowed to set. When solid, this solid metal will then be polished for enhanced looks before being cleaned and polished again to further its look. For raised letters on plaques etched letters provide more economical raised letter metal plaque appearances while tooled letters provide more modern and refined results.

Once a plaque has been completed, it is carefully laid out for inspection before being sealed into an airtight container to avoid accidental damages or mistakes. If your photo selection includes Giclee printing using UV-cured inks for high resolution full color images. Once attached to the bronze plaque, this giclee print remains visible as part of its beauty.

Bronze plaques can be customized by selecting a background color (black, brown or duranodic bronze), letter finish options such as brushed satin, oxidized oil rubbed and polished as well as your artwork style such as borders, fonts and logos. Furthermore, Gemini provides standard font styles such as Times New Roman, Bookman Old Style and Myriad to complete your customized plaque.

Personalized cast bronze plaques are an elegant way to commemorate those and places important in your life with lasting tributes or markers. A bronze plaque can serve as an outstanding way to recognize a teacher, volunteer or event as well as honor military members, donors or loved ones who have left us. Their beautiful material stands the test of time outdoor settings whether wall mounted, attached to trees/monuments/inset into ground/displayed on an easel.

Stake Mounted

Our stake mounted plaques are ideal for dedicating gardens, trees and other outdoor memorial locations as well as honoring donor contributions or milestones for organizations, clubs, teams or non-profits. Available in 24″ or 12″ lengths for easy installation of plaque displays on backers of stake headmounts using screws (bulk orders of either type of plaque display stake are discounted without an additional purchase required), they offer flexibility when it comes to accommodating any plaque size or height – including memorial dedications to gardens or trees!

Plaque insert plaques feature a cast aluminum base with an elegant raised double border, featuring a recessed area designed to house custom designed and engraved outdoor sign insert. Once secured in its recessed area with clear epoxy sealant, this plaque sealant then protects both text and image from weathering. These outdoor plaques come in different shapes and sizes and include engraving of up to 50 characters of text – additional text costs $0.20 per character after 50 characters of text have been entered into it if more are required. Bronze or cast aluminum bench plates featuring flat backs with screw mounts can also be purchased.

Custom Engraving

Custom engraving is a technique for adding a personal touch to surfaces, like plaques or trophies. While etching uses acid to produce images on objects’ surfaces, engraving removes material from them in order to achieve a more permanent finish reminiscent of carving. Plaques, trophies, and other personalized objects frequently have engraving done with different techniques applied both metals and glass surfaces.

Plaques are a wonderful way to express our thanks for the contributions of others, from donors in schools and churches, hospitals, public buildings and military bases – or as memorial tributes after someone has passed. Plaque donor plaques can be seen throughout schools, churches and hospitals; donor plaques in military bases; military personnel recognition plaques can also be placed inside these facilities. Engraved plaques also make great memorial tributes, fitting perfectly into memorial services with monuments or grave markers bearing these commemorative pieces on them as reminders.

If you love designing and creating personalized items, custom engraving could be your calling. From designing metal plaques to engraving glassware, your clients will appreciate your creative touch and personalized touch. Profit can be generated by charging fair rates for services rendered while increasing efficiency – many engravers use special software that ensures accuracy for faster production speeds with reduced costs overall.

To be successful in custom engraving business, it is crucial that you understand your target markets. There are various groups who would benefit from your services: managers/supervisors responsible for giving awards and honoring achievements; schools; community organizations and everyday consumers are among them. You can make money by offering these services directly or through marketing campaigns that reach these groups; cutting deals with materials suppliers to negotiate special pricing arrangements or cutting deals with materials providers for large orders. In addition, establish legal business structures like sole proprietorship, partnership LLC or corporation to protect yourself from liability risks.
