Custom-Made Brass Signs for Architecture, Branding & Dedication, at Metal Sheets Ltd, we specialise in crafting large custom brass plaques and engraved brass signs designed for architectural and commemorative use

Why Choose a Large Brass Plaque?

Large plaques offer high visibility and strong presence. Whether installed on a public building, heritage site, university, or office reception area, they exude quality and permanence. Brass is especially valued for its warm golden tone, weight, and durability.

Sizes, Materials & Finishes

We manufacture every plaque to order, with custom sizes available up to 3m x 1.5m. Choose from:

• CZ120 engravers brass – ideal for precision engraving

• CZ108 yellow brass – suited to general-purpose signage and cut shapes

• Thicknesses: 0.9mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm

Surface finishes include:

• Natural brushed or mirror-polished brass

• Aged or antique patinated finishes

• Clear lacquer for interior or exterior protection

• Lettering infilled in black, white, or coloured enamel

We also offer antique finish brass plaques with rich patina tones, ideal for traditional or heritage settings

A large custom-engraved brass plaque in progress at our Liverpool workshop, showing intricate astronomical artwork before the antique patina finish is applied. Each large brass plaque is precision cut, engraved and hand-finished to order.

This plaque demonstrates our capability to produce large-format engraved brass panels featuring detailed linework and clean machined surfaces prior to finishing. Once the antique patina is hand-applied and sealed, the design gains depth and contrast while preserving the clarity of the engraving. See the completed piece on our Brass Plaques page.
