Metal name plates are plaques made from stainless steel, brass or aluminium, with text and logos etched, engraved or built as raised letters. Print Near Me makes custom metal name plates and plaques in Abu Dhabi for desks, doors, walls, gates and commemorations, in Arabic, English or both, singly or in matching sets.
A metal name plate says that a business or person is established. Brushed steel on a boardroom door, a brass plaque at a clinic entrance or an engraved dedication plate in a lobby look serious, last for years and withstand knocks that would scratch softer materials.
Print Near Me makes metal name plates in Abu Dhabi to your wording and size. We recommend the right metal and grade for the location, etch or engrave the text with crisp detail, finish the edges and supply fixings, then deliver or install the plates.


Metal outlasts most alternatives. It resists scratches, fading and knocks, keeps its finish in busy corridors and entrances, and suits both modern and traditional interiors. For exterior plates in Abu Dhabi heat and humidity, a corrosion-resistant metal is the safer choice.

Metal name plates are plaques made from stainless steel, brass or aluminium that show a name, title, room or message.

Stainless steel is the most popular because it resists rust and keeps its look; grade 316 is preferred near the coast. Brass gives a classic warm look but can tarnish unless lacquered. Aluminium is lightweight and available in many anodised colours. Print Near Me recommends a metal based on location and style.
Etching uses a chemical process to remove metal and create fine detail that is filled with black or coloured enamel. Engraving cuts or marks the surface mechanically or with a laser. Etching is good for logos and small text; laser engraving is quick and precise for names and tags.
Yes. Stainless steel (especially 316), anodised aluminium and lacquered brass perform well outdoors in heat, sun and humidity. Fixings should also be corrosion resistant. Tell us the location and we will advise the metal and finish.
Price depends on the metal and grade, size, thickness, marking method, quantity and fixing. Stainless steel and brass cost more than printed acrylic, and bulk orders reduce the unit price. Print Near Me gives a fixed quotation after receiving your wording, size and quantity.
Small desk, door and wall plates inside a building do not need a permit. Larger exterior signs and name boards in Abu Dhabi generally need a signboard permit through the TAMM platform. Print Near Me can advise which category your plate falls under.
Yes. Print Near Me prepares bilingual Arabic and English layouts and matches your fonts and logo. Send the exact spelling of each name and title and approve the proof before production.
Common methods are strong double-sided adhesive for flat surfaces, screws for solid doors and walls, stand-off pins for a floating look, and corrosion-resistant fixings outdoors. Desk plates sit on a base or stand.
Wipe stainless steel and aluminium with a soft cloth and mild soapy water along the grain, and dry. Brass can be polished with a suitable brass cleaner or left to age naturally if lacquered. Avoid abrasive pads that can scratch the surface.
