Add a motif or logo to make your engraved plaque even more distinctive. This service is available on request. As a motif takes up space, fewer words may fit, so a larger plaque may be the best choice.
Simple motifs may be available, and bespoke artwork such as a company logo can be considered. Please send the image to our team so we can advise on suitability.
