The Sign Maker: Hand Painted Zinc Plaques With Raised Lettering
Home > Metal Signs - Name Plates > Hand Painted Zinc Plaques With Raised Lettering
Durable Commemorative & Memorial Plaques
These hand-painted and hand-finished zinc plaques are crafted from solid zinc plate — a tough, stable metal that will not rust or tarnish, making it ideal for long-term outdoor and indoor display. The design is created by etching away the background, leaving the lettering, numbers, borders and artwork beautifully raised for a crisp, traditional finish with real depth.
Zinc plaques are a classic choice for memorials, commemorations and dedication plaques thanks to their durability, refined appearance and maintenance-free performance. Artwork can be produced in colour with exceptional detail, and we are particularly experienced in reproducing military crests, badges and insignia with accuracy and respect.
Each plaque is individually finished by hand, ensuring a timeless, high-quality result suitable for churches, crematoriums, gardens of remembrance, schools and heritage settings.
Commercial & Heritage Uses
Hand-painted zinc plaques are not only suited to memorials - they are also an excellent solution for commercial, institutional and heritage settings where signage needs to look established, elegant and long-lasting. Their traditional appearance makes them particularly popular for historic buildings, listed properties and character developments, where modern materials would feel out of place.
Common applications include room and building names, house and plot numbers, entrance plaques, distillery rooms, offices, schools, museums and private estates. The etched background leaves the lettering and borders raised, creating a crisp, legible finish that is easy to read while remaining understated and refined.
Zinc is a naturally durable metal that will not rust or tarnish, making these plaques suitable for indoor or outdoor use with no ongoing maintenance. Hand finished by skilled craftsmen - ideal for heritage-led projects and high-end commercial environments.
