How do we make pressed metal number plates?

Creating pressed metal number plates is a multi-step process that includes machines working to a 1% pressure bar. First, the plates are fed through a machine which uses hot foil at over 200 degrees centigrade to burn the numbers and letters onto the exposed raw plates. After this, they are cooled to ensure the finished product maintains its original shape and durability. This method of craftsmanship has made British number plates highly durable – reminiscent of German-style designs.
Why do we make pressed number plates like this?

Pressed metal number plates are an increasingly popular method of producing license plates and are used by state departments and Governments across the world, including Germany and other European countries. We pride ourselves on the high quality of our pressed metal number plates – all machinery used in production is sourced from Germany, and we make sure only 3M materials are used. 3M is the most expensive and best material on the market for this purpose, offering durability even when faced with a heavy jet wash attack.
