♻️ What We’re Doing
✅ Solar-Powered Production
In 2024, we invested in a solar PV system which now powers our manufacturing premises, significantly reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and lowering our carbon footprint.
✅ Sustainable Materials
We prioritise materials that are FSC®-certified, fully recyclable, or made from recycled content. This includes:
100% recycled acrylics in our signage
Aluminium – one of the world’s most recyclable metals
Tricoya® panels – FSC-certified, durable, and sustainably sourced
Eco-friendly printed garments and promotional items
✅ Waste Reduction
We operate a zero-to-landfill policy on all offcuts that can be recycled. Where possible, materials are repurposed, and we work with local recycling schemes to minimise waste output.
✅ Thoughtful Design
Our design-led approach encourages long-lasting solutions. Rather than single-use or short-term signage, we create graphics and signage that stand the test of time — both visually and structurally — reducing the need for frequent replacement.
✅ Eco-Conscious Clothing
Our branded clothing range includes organic cotton garments and garments made from recycled fibres. We also offer print-on-demand and batch production, reducing waste from unsold inventory.
Anodised Aluminium Plaques
Anodised aluminium plaques offer an ideal combination of durability, modern aesthetics, and long-term performance. In this process, your design is permanently embedded within the anodised layer of the aluminium — not merely printed on the surface — creating a finish that is exceptionally resistant to wear, UV exposure, moisture, chemicals, and vandalism.
Thanks to their outstanding resilience, anodised aluminium plaques are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, even in the harshest of environments. They are particularly well-suited to marine locations, industrial settings, public spaces, and high-traffic areas where weathering and corrosion resistance are essential.
With their sleek, metallic sheen and ability to reproduce vibrant full-colour artwork, these plaques are one of our best-selling options. Their clean, contemporary appearance complements both traditional and modern architecture, making them a popular choice for everything from commemorative installations to wayfinding and interpretive signage.
Key Features:
- Permanently Embedded Design: Text and imagery are sealed beneath the anodised surface for long-lasting protection.
- Full Colour Capability: High-definition colour output with a refined metallic finish.
- Exceptionally Durable: Scratch-resistant, fade-proof, and built to withstand harsh weather, salt air, and chemical exposure.
- Contemporary Appeal: A sleek, modern look that enhances any setting.
- Lightweight and Low Maintenance: Easy to install and simple to keep clean.
At LE Graphics, we ensure every anodised aluminium plaque benefits from our expert design guidance and attention to detail — providing a product that performs flawlessly and looks impressive for years to come.
Solid Bronze Plaques:
Cast bronze plaques are the ultimate in timeless elegance and enduring quality. Traditionally regarded as the most prestigious of all plaque types, they are crafted by pouring molten bronze into custom moulds to create deeply recessed and crisply defined lettering and graphics. The result is a truly permanent tribute that can last for generations with little or no maintenance.
These plaques are ideal for commemorative and memorial installations, heritage interpretation, corporate dedications, and architectural signage. Their weight, patina, and distinctive depth give them a dignified presence that few other materials can match.
Cast bronze can be finished in a variety of styles — from polished highlights and brushed finishes to traditional patination — and is often mounted onto stone, brick, timber, or metal backings. Inscriptions can include crests, logos, and decorative borders, all beautifully rendered in rich, dimensional relief.
At LE Graphics, we work closely with our foundry partners to ensure every cast bronze plaque reflects the gravity and significance of its purpose. Our in-house design team can help guide you through the process, from choosing the right size and finish to creating artwork that complements its environment and purpose.
Key Features
- Timeless Durability: Resistant to corrosion and environmental wear; suitable for permanent outdoor display.
- Premium Aesthetic: Traditional casting process creates a distinguished, tactile finish with strong visual impact.
- Custom Artwork: Intricate logos, borders, and graphics reproduced in crisp detail.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Compatible with a range of substrates, including stone walls and timber posts.
- Heritage-Grade Quality: Ideal for civic, religious, historical, and memorial applications.
When only the most enduring and prestigious solution will do, cast bronze remains the benchmark in commemorative signage — combining heritage craftsmanship with expert execution.
Laser Cut Acrylic Plaques:
Laser cut acrylic plaques offer a bold, contemporary aesthetic with almost limitless creative potential. Precision-cut using our state-of-the-art laser machinery, these plaques feature smooth, flame-polished edges that create a rich, high-gloss finish — perfect for modern environments where style and clarity are key.
Whether you’re looking for sleek corporate branding, eye-catching awards, or imaginative decorative pieces, laser cut acrylic can be shaped and layered in virtually any design. From crisp lettering and custom logos to intricate inlays and colour overlays, the possibilities are limited only by imagination.
We offer a wide selection of specialist acrylics, including those that mimic the elegant clarity of glass, deliver dazzling neon effects, or emulate brushed metal finishes — all while retaining the durability and versatility of acrylic. This makes them ideal for both indoor and short- to medium-term outdoor use.
Our design-led approach ensures each acrylic plaque is not only visually striking, but also expertly crafted to meet your exact needs.
Key Features:
- Contemporary Finish: Smooth, flame-polished edges with a glossy, modern appearance.
- Custom Shapes & Inlays: Cut to virtually any shape or design; layered and inlaid options available.
- Wide Range of Effects: Glass-like clarity, neon colours, frosted finishes, and metallic looks.
- Highly Versatile: Suitable for branding, wayfinding, awards, and decorative signage.
- Precision Laser Crafting: Sharp detailing and perfect cuts, every time.
Acrylic plaques from LE Graphics combine modern materials with exceptional creativity — offering a stylish and impactful solution for a wide range of applications.
Cast Polyurethane
Hand finished and hand painted cast polyurethane plaques offer the timeless charm of traditional signage, brought to life through expert craftsmanship and modern materials. Each plaque is individually cast using high-grade polyurethane — a durable, weather-resistant material chosen for its strength, longevity, and versatility.
Once cast, every plaque is meticulously hand-finished and hand-painted by our skilled craftsmen. This process allows for an exceptional level of detail and personalisation, whether replicating a heritage design, highlighting raised lettering, or incorporating decorative crests, scrolls, or borders.
Polyurethane’s ability to replicate the intricate textures and relief of traditional cast iron or timber — without the associated weight or maintenance — makes it an ideal choice for heritage-style plaques, commemorative signs, school crests, and civic branding.
Highly resistant to the elements, cast polyurethane plaques are suitable for permanent outdoor installation in even the harshest of climates. They retain their detail and vibrant colour for many years, with minimal upkeep required.
Key Features:
- Traditional Craftsmanship: Hand-cast and hand-painted for rich detail and authenticity.
- Durable Material: Polyurethane resists corrosion, rot, and weathering.
- Decorative & Customisable: Perfect for crests, coats of arms, scrolls, and raised lettering.
- Lightweight Alternative: Offers the look of cast iron or timber with easier handling and installation.
- Built to Last: Designed for long-term exterior use with minimal maintenance.
These plaques are a popular choice for schools, councils, historical sites, and any organisation looking to combine traditional aesthetics with lasting performance.
Engraved Brass and Stainless Steel:
Engraved brass and stainless steel plaques are the ideal choice when timeless elegance or contemporary durability is required. Favoured for both commemorative and professional applications, these plaques are crafted from premium solid metals and engraved with precision to deliver a high-quality, long-lasting finish.
Brass Plaques
Solid brass plaques are a traditional and prestigious option, often chosen for memorials, dedications, official openings and ceremonial displays. At LE Graphics, we use engravers’ grade brass, selected for its fine grain and exceptional engraving qualities. Once engraved, plaques can be left natural or infilled with enamel paint for improved legibility and visual contrast. The polished brass surface is then lacquered to protect against tarnishing.
Brass plaques are commonly mounted to hardwood backing boards or fixed directly to walls, stone, or doors, using either brass dome screws or concealed fixings, depending on the desired look.
Stainless Steel Plaques
For a more contemporary aesthetic, stainless steel offers a sleek and minimalist alternative. We offer both brushed and polished finishes, each bringing a different level of reflectiveness and style to the plaque. Brushed stainless steel provides a subtle, matte appearance ideal for modern settings, while polished stainless steel adds a clean, mirror-like finish.
Stainless steel is exceptionally durable, corrosion-resistant, and well-suited for both indoor and outdoor use — including marine environments or areas prone to moisture and pollution. These plaques are engraved using precision methods and can also be paint-filled if colour contrast is desired.
Whether you’re marking a professional building, dedicating a new facility, or honouring an individual, our engraved brass and stainless steel plaques provide a refined and long-lasting solution
Key Features:
- Brass for Heritage Appeal: Warm-toned, traditional and dignified.
- Stainless Steel for Contemporary Style: Clean, modern and maintenance-free.
- Durable in All Environments: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, including coastal and marine locations.

Engraved Laminate Plaques, Placards & Labels:
Engraved laminate is one of the most versatile and cost-effective materials we offer — especially suited to high-volume, practical applications where clarity, durability, and affordability are key.
These hard-wearing, multi-layered plastic laminates are available in a wide range of colour combinations, finishes, and thicknesses. The surface layer is engraved through to reveal the contrasting core beneath, producing sharp, high-contrast text and graphics that are easy to read and built to last.
Typical uses include:
- Industrial Control Panels & Mimic Diagrams
- Machine & Switch Gear Labels
- Safety & Instruction Plates
- Dashboards & Instrument Panels
- Low-Cost Commemorative or Informational Plaques
Thanks to their resistance to heat, chemicals, and abrasion, engraved laminate plaques are ideal for both indoor and outdoor environments — making them a popular choice across engineering, electrical, manufacturing, and utility sectors.
