Specify a message and number series to label machinery, storage areas, and completed work in sequence. The largest character size will be used, up to 1/2" high.For oval plates, specify up to two lines of text (six characters per line, including spaces), a starting number (up to six digits), and a color where applicable.For rectangular plates, please specify up to three lines of text (18 characters per line, including spaces), a starting number (up to 18 digits), and a color where applicable.Aluminum plates are lightweight and resist corrosion better than brass plates. Brass plates withstand abrasion and wear better than aluminum plates. 304 stainless steel plates resist corrosion better than aluminum and brass plates.
