General
The border on a cast plaque is cast integral with the plaque and is generally
highlighted by either a stroke-sander, a buffing wheel or hand-rubbed
to provide a pleasing contrast with the background finish.
Standard
Borders
These consist of flat borders and are available at no extra cost on all
standard sizes. Some designs are not practical on small namestrips under
3" in height.

Ornamental
Borders
Decorative borders based on classic designs are available at additional
cost on most standard sizes. These borders are dimensionally sculpted
and hand finished. Because these are custom made, often they are used
in combination with an unusual shaped or sized plaque.

Helpful
Hints
- Most
of our standard borders are sized in proportion to the size of the plaque.
If exact border dimensions are required (for example, to match an existing plaque) please specify when ordering.
- In
addition to the width of the ornamental borders shown, custom widths
may be sculpted by our pattern makers.
- Most
of our borders - particularly the ornamental and flat decorative styles
- may be cast and provided in lengths for use with other sign or decorative
elements.

General
All plaques are manufactured with a background texture. When none is specified, leatherette will be used.
In addition to the background textures shown, custom textures can be provided at additional cost.
Depending on the texture, we would require either the actual textured material in an appropriate size, or black & white artwork.
- Currently, the largest material our background textures are available
in is 30" x 40". Consequently, all plaques exceeding this size will
have a seam in the background texture. (The plaque itself is not seamed,
only the texture.) These seams are disguised during the production process
by our craftsmen, but may be visible on the final product. Because of
the design regularity of pebbled texture, seams on plaques with pebbled
texture cannot be hidden. Therefore, we do not provide plaques larger
than 30" x 40" with pebbled texture.
Unless
otherwise noted all borders are standard and included in quoted prices.
