Made in the UK · Finished by hand
Every plaque is made here in the UK from high-quality solid metal, with the care that something this lasting deserves. Look closely and you’ll see the difference.
Real, quality metal all the way through, never a metal-effect print.
Your words and artwork are etched into the surface, so they become part of the plaque.
Every etched letter and line is paint-filled by hand, for crisp contrast that’s easy to read.
Each plate is laser cut to size, for clean edges and accurate corners, ovals and hearts.
Your proof, before you pay
When we design your plaque, you get a clear PDF proof: the plaque at a glance, a drawing with every measurement, and the finish, fixings and fitting steps. Share it with family, hold it up to the spot, then approve.
From AI design to real plaque
Send us the picture you made with ChatGPT, Gemini or any AI tool. We redraw it for engraving, correct the wording, size it properly and send you a proof before you pay.
Portrait plaques
Send us a photo of a person or pet. Using our Portraits in Metal technology, we turn it into fine engraving artwork, arrange your words around it and show you a free sketch before you decide.

Yes. Create your layout in the online designer, with no account or payment needed. Check names, dates, line breaks and fixing positions, then download your proof PDF if you need time to decide. The PDF includes a link to return to your design. If we design it for you, we send you the proof to approve before you pay. The proof is for approving wording and layout; screen colours and texture previews are illustrative.
Standard plaque prices include engraving, standard fixings and UK delivery. Wood backing, special finishes and other extras are priced in the designer before checkout.
Most plaques are estimated at 5 working days from proof approval and payment, in any shape up to 600 × 400 mm. Aged brass is estimated at 7 working days; wood backing at 10 working days up to A4 (297 × 210 mm) and 15 above that; plaques larger than 600 × 400 mm at 15. The times don’t add together: the longest that applies is your estimate. Your selected options determine the estimate shown before checkout. These are production estimates, with delivery time additional. Contact us before ordering for a fixed event date.
Brass gives a warm, traditional appearance and develops character over time. Stainless steel has a clean silver finish. Both can be used outdoors with suitable fixings. Choose the finish you prefer and check the fixing options in your proof.
A 150 × 50 mm bench plaque suits a name, dates and a short dedication. A5 gives a longer message more room; A4 suits formal openings and longer tributes. If the proof feels crowded, choose a larger size instead of squeezing in smaller text.
Yes. For a custom shape, a longer inscription or unusual mounting, send us the wording, approximate size and where the plaque will go, on WhatsApp (07464 843841) or by email to hello@instaplaque.co.uk. A photo of the spot, or a design you made in ChatGPT, helps too. We can suggest a starting point or design it for you.
