Choosing a name plate

Name Plates can be the ultimate desk accessory. Available in a range of materials they make fantastic corporate gifts for employees or where appropriate an ideal personal gift.

What better way to congratulate a family member's new job, or a spouse's promotion than with a nice looking name plate. A sophisticated looking name plate would look great in a home office and could even inspire a graduate to find a new job.

As cliché as it sounds, having a name plate on your desk makes you feel good and helps motivates you to work hard.

Name plates are available in a range of materials. Marble connotes solidarity and tradition. With no two pieces of marble the same, you can guarantee a marble name plate would be unique. If engraved correctly, the name plate not only looks impressive, but also quite dramatic.

aluminium nameplates are increasingly popular, they can be personalised quickly and are relatively inexpensive. They can be etched to say a name and if appropriate the person's position, but if you are looking for something a little less formal, multiple colours can be printed onto the surface creating a more colourful plate.

Hand finished wooden name plates are also quite popular. Made in a variety of hardwoods, including walnut and mahogany, the name is engraved in brass. Some styles can even have a business card holder integrated into the design.

If you work for a non-profit organisations slide in frames with a plastic name plate may be for you. Economical and attractive they look good, but are inexpensive. Plastic name plates are available in various colours, sizes and fonts which means they can be truly unique.

For those with no budget, 3d nameplates or crystal name plates shout elegance and sparkle, but for those looking for something that costs a little less, Glass is a good replacement. Glass nameplates have a clean, modern look and offer something different to a more traditional style.
