How are our 3D number plates made?
Creating a 3D number plate is a unique and intricate process. It begins with the selection of a high-quality acrylic material. This acrylic is then precisely cut to the right dimensions of a number plate, providing the ideal canvas for the next step.
After cutting, a highly effective and very specific adhesive is applied to the cut acrylic. This adhesive is formulated to bond the characters to the plate and weather different conditions thrown at it, ensuring that your number plate remains in perfect condition for years to come.
The characters themselves are crafted from 3mm high-grade black ABS plastic, meticulously formed to each digit and letter needed. Each character is meticulously placed on the adhesive-laden acrylic plate, creating the third dimension and that distinctive ‘pop-off’ effect that makes 3D number plates so unique and eye-catching.
The final step in the process involves heating and curing the plate, ensuring that the adhesive properly bonds the characters to the plate. Once the plate is cooled, it is inspected for quality before being considered ready for your vehicle.
The result is a visually stunning, highly durable 3D number plate that enhances the look of your vehicle while effectively displaying your registration number, keeping you legal and stylish on the UK’s roads.
Are Your 3D Number Plates Road-Legal?
Let’s address perhaps the most crucial query you might have about our 3D number plates – their legality. We’re sure you wouldn’t want to invest in a product that might get you into trouble, right? Therefore, we are thrilled to inform you that our 3D number plates comply with all UK legal regulations.
They meet all the requirements set out by the DVLA, making them road-legal throughout the nation. Rest assured, all our number plates, including the 3D ones, follow the British Standard (BS AU 145e) to ensure proper visibility and reflectiveness. Our plates also contain the mandatory mark of the manufacturer or supplier, guaranteeing their authenticity and legal compliance.
So when you purchase 3D number plates from us, you’re investing in a high-quality, aesthetically pleasing product and essentially choosing peace of mind.
How durable are 3D Gel number plates?
3D Gel number plates are highly durable. The gel resin used for the characters is resistant to UV rays, weather conditions, and impacts, ensuring the plates maintain their glossy finish and readability over time.
Can I customise my 3D Gel number plates?
Yes, our 3D Gel number plates are fully customisable. Using our online Number Plate Maker, you can choose your preferred plate size, add borders, select badges, and preview your design before ordering.
Will the 3D Gel letters fade or peel over time?
No, the 3D Gel letters are designed to be long-lasting. The high-quality materials and strong adhesive used in the manufacturing process prevent fading, peeling, or discolouration, even under harsh weather conditions.
Are 3D Gel number plates easy to clean?
Yes, 3D Gel number plates are easy to clean. Simply use a mild soap and water solution, and gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the gel letters.
Do you offer different colour options for 3D Gel plates?
Our 3D Gel number plates typically feature black gel characters, which are standard and legal in the UK. While the character colour remains consistent, you can customise the plate with optional borders and badges.
How do 3D Gel number plates differ from 4D plates?
While both 3D Gel and 4D plates have raised characters, 3D Gel plates use a glossy gel resin that gives a rounded, smooth appearance. In contrast, 4D plates feature characters cut from acrylic, giving them a sharper, more defined look.
How long does it take to receive my 3D Gel number plates?
Once you place your order, your 3D Gel number plates are typically dispatched within 1 business day (same day if ordered before 3pm on a weekday). Delivery times vary by location, but most customers receive their plates within a couple of business days.
Can I use 3D Gel number plates on any vehicle?
Yes, 3D Gel number plates can be used on any vehicle, including cars, vans, and motorcycles. They are available in various sizes to fit different vehicles and can be customised to match your specific requirements.
