Gloss level is a design element for nameplates that can be easily overlooked. Let's look at two nameplates that illustrate high and low gloss finishes.
At first glance, these nameplates appear very similar - same size parts, simple black background with embossed bright aluminum graphics and border. No big deal, right? Wrong.
Take a closer look and you will see a difference in the background decoration. One has a high gloss finish where the other makes use of low gloss or matte finish. Either option results in a nice looking nameplate.
A high gloss top coat results in a reflective, glossy finish. This can be helpful to differentiate the brand from others on the shelf. On the contrary, a low gloss coating is a less reflective, matte finish. This is helpful when the nameplate needs to be a subtle component for the product.
