3D Gel Number Plates

What are 3D gel plates?

3D gel number plates use domed resin lettering to create a smooth raised effect with a glossy finish and subtle depth.

Why choose 3D gel plates?

Gloss finish

Domed gel lettering creates a smooth, high-gloss finish that enhances the look of the plate.

Subtle depth

Raised resin characters give a softer, more refined depth than standard printed plates.
