Metallic tags and plates to identify your plants

Frequently Asked Questions

How are the plaques?

The plates are aluminum magnesium alloy 5754 of 9 cm long and 6cm high and 1.5mm thick. The bar that is inserted to the floor is 30cm and 15mm x 3mm section. This bar is riveted to the board itself, making it virtually "indestructible" and extremely durable. In the rivet, and out the back, is added just enough weld cold so that the plate does not oscillate on the rod.

The letters making up the name of the plate are milled to a depth of approximately 0.25 mm and filled with resin to give the color the customer wants. This resin withstand extreme temperature changes (thermal shock), water and not emerges from the plate.

The plaque assembly (plate + rod + rivet) is rustproof, allowing use both indoors and outdoors.
