5D Number Plates

What are 5D plates?

5D number plates combine layered acrylic and gel to create a deeper, more pronounced raised finish with extra visual impact.

Why choose 5D plates?

Maximum depth

Multi-layer construction creates a bolder, deeper finish than standard raised plate styles.

Stronger contrast

The extra layers increase visual presence and give the plate a more premium, high-impact appearance.

5D plate FAQs

Are 5D number plates road legal?

Yes, they can be road legal when built to the correct UK requirements for spacing, materials, layout and supplier markings.

What is the difference between 4D acrylic and 5D plates?

4D acrylic plates use a single raised acrylic layer, while 5D plates use layered construction to create more depth, stronger contrast and a bolder finish.

Can I order 5D short plates?

Yes. If your registration allows it, 5D can be made in short plate sizes while still being built for road legal use.

Can I get 5D hex plates?

Yes. 5D is available in hex formats where the registration length and final layout work correctly for the chosen size.
