Metal Plate Wall Plaque With 3D Raised Texture, Black Piano Finish

A metal plate wall plaque is a wall-mounted award built from a wood board with a printed metal plate fixed to its face. On this piece the plate is white with a silver edge band, and the VividPrint 3D process stacks the imprint into a layer that sits above the plate surface instead of sinking into it. Recognition programs choose it when a flat printed plate looks too plain for a milestone presentation.

The 3D imprint adds material on top of the plate, while engraving cuts material away from it. That difference shows in the artwork: a printed layer carries full color and photographic shading, and an engraved mark reads as a single etched tone. Pick the 3D print when a logo has color, gradients or photo detail that a cut line cannot reproduce.

No, the white metal plate sits inside the face of the board, so a border of black piano finish wood frames it on all four sides. A silver edge runs around the plate and separates the white printing area from the dark border. The raised imprint stays entirely on the plate, not on the wood.

Yes, the VividPrint 3D process reproduces logos, photographs and full text panels directly on the metal plate. Send vector artwork where it exists, and a high-resolution raster file for photographic images. Production begins only after you approve the artwork, so allow time for any revisions before the ceremony date.

Yes, the same 3D imprint runs on all five board sizes, from 7 by 9 inches up to 12 by 15 inches. A recognition program can give a 12 by 15 inch plaque to the top honoree and 7 by 9 inch plaques to the rest of the group using one design. Artwork is resized to fit each plate rather than redrawn for each size.

Production takes 5 working days, counted from artwork approval rather than from the day the order is placed. Time spent on proof revisions sits outside that window, so print-ready files keep a tight ceremony date on track. Shipping transit time is added on top of the 5 production days.

Wall plaques of this type are used for years-of-service milestones, employee of the year honors, donor and building dedication recognition, dealer or distributor awards, sports banquet trophies and academic honors. Because the piece mounts on a wall rather than standing on a desk, it works in lobbies, boardrooms and hallway recognition displays. Organizations that run an annual program often keep one design and change only the name plate text each year.

Wipe the piano finish with a soft, dry microfiber cloth, since gloss lacquer shows fingerprints and fine scratches more than a matte board. Around the raised imprint, wipe along the texture instead of scrubbing across it, and keep abrasive pads and ammonia-based sprays off both the plate and the wood. Hang the plaque away from direct sunlight to protect the printed colors.

Per-unit cost depends on the board size, the quantity ordered and the finish selected, so no single figure applies to every order. The five sizes step from 7 by 9 inches up to 12 by 15 inches, and the larger boards carry a higher per-piece cost. Send us your size, finish and quantity and we will quote a firm per-unit price.
