Engraved plastic — colour rules and limitations
Engraved plastic signs are made from a two-layer material — the top layer defines the surface colour and the bottom layer defines the engraved text colour. This means all designs are based on two-colour contrast combinations only. Full colour printing, gradients, and images are not possible.
Available combinations:
- 0.8 mm comes in:
- Black/White
- White/Black
- 1.6 mm offers a wider range:
- White/Black
- Black/White
- Blue/White
- White/Blue — (not in the table above)
- Red/White
- White/Red — (not in the table above)
- Pink/White
- Green/White
- Yellow/Black
- Grey/White
- Orange/White
- Purple/White
- Brown/White
- Silver/Black — (not in the table above)
- Gold/Black — (not in the table above)
- Rosé/Black — (not in the table above)
Outdoor suitability: most combinations work outdoors, but Gold/Black, Silver/Black, and Rosé/Black are not recommended for outdoor use. Outdoor-adapted gold and silver versions may be available as custom options, though these can appear slightly darker or have a different finish than the indoor standard.
