[Etched Plaques](https://hub.geminimade.com/knowledge/plaques?hsLang=en#etched-plaques) November 6, 2026 # 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, stainless steel or aluminum 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 (exceptions for aluminum), 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* -
