We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again – in a world where first impressions are everything, nameplates (regardless of their size) play a very important role. These small identifiers can have a significant impact on various aspects of business and personal interactions: from enhancing professionalism to improving communication to your consumers. The importance of nameplates can’t be understated.
If you’re in a situation where you’re in need of a small nameplate, whether it’s due to space limitations or you just don’t want to overwhelm or overcomplicate – we have the ability create a metal or plastic nameplate as small as a fraction of an inch! There are some limitations with low-cost tooling and hard tooling when you're creating a small nameplate or label, and you can find more information on that here. Conversely, if you find yourself in need of a large nameplate or metal tacker, click here.
While there is a little more freedom for larger nameplates – we still are able to offer an array of design options to make your tiny nameplate stand out (literally and figuratively).
Embossing for Small Badges and Labels
One way to give your little nameplate visual and tactile dimension is with embossing. There are some limitations based on the tooling method you choose, but embossing is an excellent way to ensure that your little label stands out! You can read more about embossing in our eBook.

Unique Shapes for Tiny Nameplates
Just because you need a small nameplate, doesn’t mean it can't have a unique shape! If your brand identity requires the use of a specific shape, your logo has a unique shape you’d like to utilize, or the area where your nameplate needs to sit is a specific shape – we can work with you to create it!.
Utilize the Look of Aluminum to Create Contrast
Utilizing exposed aluminum elements in your mini label or badge is a guaranteed way to create contrast, drawing the attention of even those most unobservant customers. You can read more about using the look of aluminum in nameplate design here!
Doming for Tactile Dimension and Protection
The 3D affect that comes from the crystal-clear polyurethane resin not only serves as a dimensional design aspect, but also a protective layer keeping your design intact and without dents or scratches. You can find out if doming is right for your small nameplate by checking out this blog!
Patterns and Finishes for an Eye-Catching Tiny Badge
A pattern can be applied to any part of a nameplate to add contrast between elements. Add a patina or carbon fiber finish to give your little nameplate depth or add a tint to create the look of another metal! The nameplate shown here, shows aluminum with a brass tint. You can read more about adding patterns and finishes here.
