Brass Effect Engraved Sign with Adhesive Back - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

An excellent way to achieve the rich, traditional appearance of polished brass without the high cost, weight, or maintenance of real metal. The brass-effect top layer gives the sign a warm, classic look, while engraving reveals the black underlayer for a crisp, readable contrast. This combination delivers both elegance and functionality, making it ideal for settings where appearance and clarity are equally important.

One of the main advantages is that it offers the style of brass with the practicality of durable engraving plastic. Real brass requires frequent polishing and can tarnish over time, whereas the brass-effect laminate is corrosion-proof, lightweight, and easy to clean. Because the text or symbols are engraved rather than printed, the message remains permanent—it won’t fade, scratch away, or peel, even with frequent handling or exposure to the elements.

In terms of use, Brass Effect 2-ply black plastic is perfect for environments where a traditional or prestigious look is desired alongside long-term durability. Typical applications include hotel and restaurant signage, reception desk nameplates, memorial or dedication plaques, heritage building signs, and executive office door plates. It’s also a popular choice for commemorative or presentation items where appearance matters just as much as the information displayed.

Overall, a sign engraved on Brass Effect 2-ply black plastic provides a timeless, high-quality appearance with the resilience of modern materials. It’s best suited for hospitality, heritage, corporate, and ceremonial settings where both style and long-lasting legibility are essential.
