Edge / Borders

Edges

The edge of your plaque or sign can basically be described by how your product looks from the side, as different to how it looks from front-on (see the ‘Borders’ section for more info). A variety of edge designs are available.

The most commonly used ones are the Raised Edge and Bevelled Linished Edge, Bevelled Painted Edge and Plain Cut Edge.

Borders

The border is the design that will surround your plaque or sign. It will be raised above the background surface of your product. There are basically two types of borders that you can use for your plaque or sign: Standard (Raised) Borders and Sculptured Borders.

Standard (Raised) Borders – these designs are basically simple solid borders with a variety of corner designs

Square Squared Angular Round

Solid Nicked Scalloped

Angular Round Inner Double Scalloped

Sculptured Borders – these designs are more intricate and are suitable for matching with the theme of the plaque or sign
