LNI has a dedicated Sales Team consisting of internal and external team members who can assist with any metal nameplate, badge or labelling requirement, whether it’s a new concept or existing. 

Our team collaborates with you to guarantee the appropriate product is provided for your application. Occasionally, this might involve consulting our in-house Technical Division to assess material and adhesive choices.

Once the review process has been completed the LNI Estimating Department will work on the quote to be supplied to you. On acceptance of the quote and after an official order has been placed, the artwork will be created and supplied to you for review and approval before production. In most cases, our Art Department will supply your artwork to scale detailing the information and layout including colours. This allows you to review to ensure all the details are correct before manufacturing.

Once you’ve approved your artwork, LNI will commence the production process. The production timing varies depending on the product being supplied. For instance, a label will take less time to produce compared to a urethane Lenscal badge as the urethane topcoat will need time to cure. Extra time may be required if tooling is required to be made.

LNI supplies a large volume of nameplates to various industries for both decorative and functional purposes. Most decorative nameplates are supplied using a high gloss aluminium that can be etched and anodised producing a permanent raised or recessed image on the aluminium without the requirement of a tool.

Other options for nameplates may include matching colours and printing directly onto the aluminium. Functional nameplates such as a serial or compliance plate can be produced in both methods subject to your requirements. In some cases, the nameplate may have to meet an industry standard or specification which the Quality Department can assist with.

Prior to quoting any opportunity for a 3D badge, or an automotive or defence customer, an internal technical review meeting is conducted. During this meeting, the Technical Division and Engineering team, Operations and Quality Manager, Art Department and the LNI Business Development Manager will discuss the design and application of the badge as well as the colours required. This ensures you receive a quote for a part you know will do its job.
