What is a car show dash plaque and what is it used for?

A car show dash plaque is a small aluminum plate, custom cut to size, printed in full color by dye sublimation and stuck to a vehicle dashboard with its adhesive back. Car shows, cruise-ins and car clubs hand them out to entrants and members as a keepsake of the event. The same plate also works as a small nameplate on display boards or equipment.

How do full color dash plaques compare to single-color metal plaques?

Full color dash plaques are printed by dye sublimation, so photos, gradients and multicolor logos print in one pass. A single-color imprint shows one flat color, which suits a simple logo but cannot carry a photo of a car. These plaques come on brushed gold, brushed silver or enamel white aluminum.

What sizes do custom dash plaques come in, and how are they packed?

Custom dash plaques are cut to the height and width you supply, in three size ranges: up to 3, 3 to 6, or 6 to 9 square inches. They ship in bulk, at about 7 lbs per 1,000 pieces for the smallest size, 14 lbs for the middle size and 21 lbs for the largest. Actual carton weights vary with the size ordered.

Can dash plaques be punched with a mounting hole or have rounded corners?

Yes, dash plaques can be hole punched from 3/32" to 1/4" diameter, slot punched at 1/2" x 1/8", corner rounded or specially cut. Square corners are standard. Each option is charged per piece, and a one-time fabrication setup applies to any order that uses them.

How long does production take for custom printed dash plaques?

Standard production for custom printed dash plaques is 10 business days. Shipping time is added on top, so share your show date when you order and we will check the timing against it.

What events and clubs order car show dash plaques?

Car shows and cruise-ins order car show dash plaques for every registered entrant. Car clubs, motorcycle rallies, charity poker runs and auto shops also use them as member or participant keepsakes. Many organizers put the year in the art so entrants collect a new plate each season.

What affects the price of full color dash plaques?

The price of full color dash plaques depends on the size range and the quantity tier, with breaks at 50, 100, 250 and 500 pieces. A one-time setup charge applies to each order. Hole punching, slot punching, corner rounding and special cuts add a per-piece charge.

Where are these dash plaques made, and what artwork do I need to send?

The dash plaques are made in the U.S.A. Send your logo or photo artwork along with the finished height and width of each plate, since every plaque is cut to order. Full color printing on the front is included.

This full color aluminum car show dash plaque is cut to the size you choose and has a full adhesive back, so entrants mount it on the dash without drilling, screws or extra hardware. Built for car shows, car clubs and auto shops, it gives every driver a printed keepsake of the event.

At a cruise-in or a spring show, every registered entrant can drive home with a plate showing the show name, the year and a photo of a featured car, since the full color dye sublimation print carries photos and color gradients. Car clubs order them as car club plaques for members at the annual meet, and dating the art lets members collect a new plate each season. Shops and dealers can mark finished builds the same way. You give the height and width of each plate on the order, in one of three size ranges: up to 3, 3 to 6, or 6 to 9 square inches, and choose brushed gold, brushed silver or enamel white aluminum. With the adhesive already on the back, nobody needs a tool kit.

Pair the plaques with a logo car air freshener in each entrant's goodie bag, one for the dash and one for the vent, so your show rides along in the car long after the weekend. Both hand out easily at registration. For a wider lineup of gifts for drivers, mechanics and dealers, browse our automotive promotional products and build a full kit for the event.

Send us your artwork with the height and width of each plate, and we will send a free digital proof before production. Standard production takes 10 business days, so share your show date when you order.
