Stainless Steel Plaques · From $236 Delivered · Australia Wide

Single Thickness Stainless Steel Plaques

Marine grade stainless steel with your inscription permanently laser burnt into the face. Our most economical memorial plaque, from $236 delivered, and it will outlast bronze. Design online and see the price as you go.

Sometimes the right memorial is the simple one. A single thickness plaque is one sheet of passivated marine grade stainless steel, laser marked with your inscription and motifs by a YAG laser that burns the design permanently into the metal. There is nothing to fade, peel or repaint, the passivated steel shrugs off weather for decades, and the price makes it our most economical plaque, ideal for niche walls, garden memorials, benches, tree plantings and honour boards as well as lawn cemeteries.

From $236 Delivered

The most economical plaque we make, with unlimited inscription and motifs included in the price.

Marine Grade Steel

Permanent Laser Marking

A YAG laser burns the design into the metal itself; no paint or infill to wear away.

Any Size To 600 mm

Single thickness stainless steel memorial plaque with laser burnt inscription and garden motifs

Simple, Honest And Built To Last

Each plaque is cut from marine grade stainless steel, passivated to enhance its natural corrosion resistance, then laser marked with your design. The YAG laser burns the script and motifs permanently into the face, so the finished plaque is one solid piece of metal with nothing added and nothing to come off.

Plaques are supplied with corner holes for easy installation: screw them to stone, timber or a wall, or fix them with adhesive. At this weight and price they suit memorial benches, garden dedications, tree plantings and commercial nameplates just as well as cemetery use.

Top tip: fine script fonts and detailed line motifs laser beautifully on steel; the designer previews exactly how your wording will look.

Steel Plaque Questions

How much does a single thickness stainless steel plaque cost?

In our online designer a 150 x 100 mm plaque is $236 and a 300 x 200 mm plaque is $371, delivered to mainland Australia. Because the design is lasered as one artwork, your inscription and motifs are included no matter how much you add. It is the most economical memorial plaque we make.

What is the plaque made of?

A single sheet of passivated marine grade stainless steel. Passivation enhances the steel’s natural corrosion resistance, so the plaque keeps its good looks outdoors for many years and will outlast a bronze plaque, at a fraction of the price.

Will the lettering wear off?

No. A YAG laser permanently burns the inscription and motifs into the face of the steel; there is no paint, engraving infill or printing to fade or peel. The marking is part of the metal itself.

What sizes are available?

Anything from 40 mm up to 600 mm in width and height, with a maximum ratio of 1:15, so long narrow nameplates are no problem. Design any size in between online and the price updates instantly.

How is the plaque fixed?

Plaques are supplied with corner holes for easy installation: screw or bolt them to stone, timber, render or a wall, or glue them with a suitable adhesive. They are light enough for niche walls, benches, gates and garden posts.

What are these plaques used for?

Everything from lawn cemetery and niche wall plaques to garden memorials, park benches, tree plantings, building openings and honour boards. For a plaque with colour, see our light reflective range; for a classic look, our bronze plaques.
