Product Information

All plaques are made in Australia, most plaque components, badges and buckles

are made in house and are hand cast by us in white metal. This ensures

that the highest quality possible can be met. All other components are

made within the local Brisbane area even down to the cardboard boxes our

plaques are supplied in. All metal plaque badges are securely attached to back boards by the way of steel pins cast into the badge itself, we do not glue or double sided tape them on, some movement or visible gap behind the badge is usual, this allows easy removal of badge if the timber backing needs to be replaced or to refit to another product, they have to be mechanically removed and will not fall off.

All of our products that have a colour applied to them are painted by

hand and we use only the best current lead free enamel paint finishes.

quality or budget. Our highest quality finishes are all electroplate

finishes which consist of – Chrome or Copper Bronze. Other finishes

include paint, which is a slightly cheaper alternative to plating and

this also gives you the option to finish a product in any colour you may

desire. We can also supply raw polished pewter or a chemically aged

patina to the pewter which gives an aged dark smoky colour to the

finished product.

We offer an extensive range of plaque shapes and sizes, however we can

custom make any shape and size to your requirements. Timber colours we

offer are Black, Rosewood and Light Walnut with Rosewood being by far

the most popular. All of our timber products unless otherwise stated are

finished in a Lacquer.

Please do not forget that we are able to look after all your engraving

needs which is done in house on our state of the art Xenetech

Engraver. We will fit your engraved plates to your plaques for free at

the time of manufacture so that there is no need to do any more to your

plaque, except hand it to the lucky recipient. Please call and discuss

your engraving needs as you will find our pricing extremely competitive.

Commissioning a New Design 

Please call us if you are thinking of having a new plaque designed. Here

are a few of the things that you may need to consider to get the design

process underway. The first thing is some drawings or artwork, even hand

drawn on a piece of A4 can be enough to start with. Preferably a vector

graphic in Corel Draw or an EPS file is ideal however PDF or JPEG will

also suffice. The second item is a finished size of your plaque and

fittings and thirdly as usual it always comes down to money so if you

have a budget to work to please let us know so we can try to use the

appropriate finishes to help meet it for you.
