[Etched Plaques](https://hub.geminimade.com/knowledge/plaques?hsLang=en#etched-plaques) April 28, 2025 # Etched Plaques Overview ### What are etched plaques? Etched plaques bring intricate artwork to life with incredible detail. Complex artwork is created by chemically etching the surface of a bronze, brass, or stainless steel sheet. Shallow, recessed areas are then filled in with paint, resulting in a finely detailed design on a single-level surface. Ideal for both interior and exterior installations, these elegant plaques are created from detailed line art, intricate diagrams, and beautifully rendered newspaper-style halftone photography. Available in sizes from 2 inches by 2 inches up to 36 inches by 72 inches, etched plaques are perfect for wayfinding, commemorations, and branding. These unique plaques are made to last and come with our lifetime guarantee. **Tip: [Download our quick reference sheet on Etched Plaques.](https://geminimade.com/wp-content/uploads/Gemini-Etched-Architectural-Plaques.pdf)** | ![Etch\_Wayfinding](https://hub.geminimade.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Etch_Wayfinding.jpg?width=257&height=423&name=Etch_Wayfinding.jpg) | ![Etched\_HealingSprings](https://hub.geminimade.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Plaques/Etched_HealingSprings.jpg?width=300&height=180&name=Etched_HealingSprings.jpg) | | --- | --- | #### More About Etched Plaques --- [**Product Specifications, Mounting, and Installation**](https://hub.geminimade.com/knowledge/etched-plaques-product-specifications?hsLang=en) [**Project Examples**](https://hub.geminimade.com/knowledge/etched-plaques-product-examples?hsLang=en) [**Pricing**](https://hub.geminimade.com/knowledge/etched-plaques-pricing-us?hsLang=en) **[Product Warranty](https://hub.geminimade.com/knowledge/etched-plaques-product-warranty?hsLang=en)** **[Design Guide](https://hub.geminimade.com/knowledge/design-guide-etched-plaques?hsLang=en)**   --- *3030.01* -
