Why choose hex plates?

A sharper overall look

Hex plates cut away excess shape at the edges, giving the plate a cleaner, more deliberate finish than a standard rectangle.

Built for shorter registrations

Works best with 5, 6 and 7 digit registrations where the shorter character layout suits the hex format properly.

Fully road legal

Manufactured to DVLA and BS AU 145e requirements with compliant spacing, margins and materials throughout.
