3 Considerations in Fence Nameplate Design

There are some basic things to consider when a nameplate is designed for placement on a fence or decking. Taking time to identify the objective, the environment that your nameplate will be exposed to and any budget limits for product identification will help you to stay focused as you work through the design process.

Let's take a look at each of these further.

1. What is the objective for your fence nameplate?
   Does your nameplate need to showcase your brand as a decorative element of your design? Or is its purpose more functional, providing information or security detail for your product? Take time to consider size and shape of the nameplate as well as what colors or graphics need to be shown.

2. What type of environment will the nameplate be exposed to?
   Most fences are built for outdoor use. What about other exposures such as chemicals or cleaners?  Will the nameplate be exposed to hot or cold temperatures? These are all important to know so that appropriate top coats and processes are used in production. The more information you can provide, the better the outcome for a quality emblem.

3. How much does your budget allow for the nameplate?
   Piece price is a common concern for nameplate and label design. While options are wide open in both metal and plastic material and processes, it is helpful to stay in tune with what your budget will allow. Understanding the objective and environmental needs of the nameplate can help define where the piece price will fall. Piece price will increase as more processes are used. We are ready to help define the most cost effective solution for your needs.
