Pick the brass finish first

Brushed brass is restrained and satin. Polished brass is brighter. Orbital brass has a more decorative grain. Aged brass gives a softer patinated look for memorial and garden settings.

Proof before production

The proof shows the wording, border, fixings and material choice before checkout. That matters especially on brass, where spacing and hierarchy make the plaque feel considered rather than crowded.

Your questions, answered.

Have something else in mind?

Talk to us ↗
Can I choose the brass finish?

Yes. The proof bench includes brushed brass, polished brass, orbital brass and aged brass options.

Are brass plaques suitable outside?

Yes, brass can be used outdoors. Aged brass is hand-patinated and sealed, while brushed and polished brass will naturally change over time.

Can I see my plaque before I pay?

Yes. Create your layout in the online designer, with no account or payment needed. Check names, dates, line breaks and fixing positions, then download your proof PDF if you need time to decide. The PDF includes a link to return to your design. The proof is for approving wording and layout; screen colours and texture previews are illustrative.

What is included in the price?

Standard plaque prices include engraving, standard fixings and UK delivery. Wood backing, special finishes and other extras are priced in the designer before checkout.

How long will my plaque take?

Standard production is estimated at 5 working days from proof approval and payment. Standard aged-brass plaques are estimated at 7 working days; A4/A5 with wood backing at 10; custom sizes and other wood-backed plaques at 15. Your selected options determine the estimate shown before checkout. These are production estimates, with delivery time additional. Contact us before ordering for a fixed event date.

Which material should I choose for outdoors?

Brass gives a warm, traditional appearance and develops character over time. Stainless steel has a clean silver finish. Both can be used outdoors with suitable fixings. Choose the finish you prefer and check the fixing options in your proof.
