Porcelain enamel signs Specifications and options
Use

Indoors and outdoors; porcelain enamel signs are virtually unlimited in their light fastness and resistance to weather conditions of all kinds.

Range

Porcelain enamel signs are also available as thermometers, clocks or metal chalkboards.

Minimum quantity

For intricate images made up of a range of colours, it is advisable that you order a minimum quantity of 100. Individual items and low-volume production

Measurements

Up to a maximum of 700 mm x 900 mm. You can opt for an measurements and shapes in between.

Shapes

We specialise in custom-shaped porcelain enamel signs.
Here is an example: Falken Tyres
Porcelain enamel signs are never flat. Instead they are crowned (curved in four directions) curved on one level or edge-bended. This is because a flat sheet of metal would go out of shape when exposed to the around 800C inside the furnace.

Embossing

Parts of the sign may be embossed. Here is an example: Alpine Gastgeber.

Mounting

Four holes, one in each corner of the sign, are the best mounting option for square signs. For round, oval, and contour cut signs we recommend hidden mounting and a cross mount. The result of this looks as follows: The sign will essentially float a few centimetres away from the wall as you can see here: Bugatti This smaller sign is another example of this: Alpine Gastgeber.

Material

Approx. 1.2 mm of special steel. With the enamelling this will be approx 2 mm wide. This means that a 300 mm x 400 mm sign will weight around 1.7 kg.

Image application and colours

Ceramic screen printing or stencil technique. Four-colour printing, also referred to as cmyk, is not used for porcelain enamel signs. This is due to the high temperatures in the production process which require genuine pigment colours. Generally speaking, four-colour images can be produced using six to nine colours. However, in rare cases, up to twelve colours may be necessary. We specialise in high-resolution ceramic screen printing. Please see Porsche Turbo. The colours of gold and silver will be represented by genuine gold as well as platinum. Image: Alfa Romeo.
