Brass brings a warm, traditional finish to memorials, building dedications, recognition plaques and nameplates. We engrave, etch and emboss brass plaques to order, and laser cut brass blanks for customers who engrave their own.
Laser engraved brass is the fastest option and handles fine detail and logos well. Acid etched brass has recessed lettering that can be paint filled in black or any colour. Embossed brass has raised lettering for a classic dimensional plaque. See embossed plaques and acid etched plates.
Brass blanks cut to size

“Just recently ordered and received two stainless steel Plaques from Planet Engraving. They are made from 316 marine grade stainless steel, which is superior to copper, brass, or bronze in durability. They turned out beautifully, and I plan to order at least one more.”

“Squeezed my engraving job in as soon as I phoned them. Very helpful.”
“How is this for good service. I enquired about a brass plaque on the Tuesday, I had an immediate response with the suggested artwork the same day. I ordered the plaque the next day being Wednesday and it was delivered by Priority Post on the very next day, Thursday. and it was exactly what I had ordered.”

Questions we often get
Does brass tarnish outdoors?
Brass naturally darkens over time. A lacquer finish slows this. For a plaque that needs no upkeep outdoors, consider 316 stainless steel.
Will I see a proof before you make it?
Yes. We send a layout proof for approval before anything is engraved or cut, so you can check every word, number and dimension first.
Do you deliver Australia-wide?
Yes. We're based in Rutherford, NSW, and express post to every state and territory, including regional areas, as well as New Zealand. Local customers are welcome to pick up from our showroom.
