How to Customize Metal Nameplates, Labels, Tags, and More
✅ Step-by-Step Customization Process
We make custom metal manufacturing easy and efficient. Whether you need branded nameplates, stylish metal tags, industrial labels, or promotional keychains, here’s how the process works:
1. Submit Your Design or Idea
You can send us:
- A vector file (AI, PDF, CDR, SVG, etc.)
- A high-resolution image (JPG, PNG, PSD)
- A drawing or sketch (even a photo with notes)
- Or simply describe your idea — our design team will help!
👉 Don’t have a design? No problem! Our in-house designers can turn your idea into a production-ready mockup.
2. Confirm Specifications
