Stainless Steel Signs and Plaques
Stainless steel is a strong choice for signs and plaques that require a durable, contemporary finish and excellent resistance to corrosion and wear.
Miller uses Marine Grade 316 stainless steel, with thickness options from 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm. Signs and plaques can be custom shaped and produced with text, logos and other information to suit the project.
Stainless steel is commonly used for:
- Memorial and commemorative plaques
- Opening plaques
- Building and architectural signs
- Heritage markers
- Recognition and donor plaques
- Information signs
- Nameplates
- Public-space signage
- Coastal and outdoor applications
Acid Etched Stainless Steel
Acid etching creates recessed text, logos or artwork in the stainless steel surface. The etched areas can be colour filled to create a clear and durable finish.
This process is well suited to plaques and signs where long-term readability and a traditional etched appearance are important.
Laser Marked Stainless Steel
Laser marking provides another option for creating text, logos and identification on stainless steel.
Our team can recommend whether acid etching or laser marking is better suited to your project based on the intended environment, artwork and finish required.
Brass Signs and Plaques
Brass is often chosen for its warm, traditional appearance and is particularly suited to heritage, commemorative, architectural and decorative projects.
Miller manufactures custom signs and plaques using 3 mm brass. Designs are deep etched and can be colour filled to create clear, long-lasting detail.
Brass signs and plaques are commonly used for:
- Memorial plaques
- Opening and dedication plaques
- Heritage signs
- Building nameplates
- Commemorative plaques
- Recognition and donor plaques
- Architectural signage
- Decorative identification signs
- Historical markers
Options include custom sizes and shapes, colour-filled artwork, linished finishes and reversed-out designs.
Which material should you choose?
The best material depends on the location, design and desired appearance.
Stainless steel is generally preferred where a contemporary finish, high strength and corrosion resistance are important.
Brass is often selected where a traditional, decorative or heritage appearance is desired.
For signs requiring detailed full-colour photographs, illustrations or maps, Photo Anodised Aluminium may be a more suitable option.
If you are unsure, Miller can recommend the most appropriate material and process for your application.

Stainless steel and brass signs can be manufactured to suit your project requirements.
Options may include:
- Custom sizes and shapes
- Text and detailed information
- Etched and colour-filled artwork
