How to Order Plaques in Partner Portal

Ordering Cast Plaques, Precision Tooled Plaques, and Etched Plaques

At Gemini, submitting your request is convenient and fast using Partner Portal. While quoting your plaque request, you can select materials, dimensions, order specifications and more. Follow the instructions below to learn more.

Partner Portal Navigation

Log into Partner Portal and within the main Dashboard, start a new quote by clicking either of the red Start Here or Start a Quote button located in the middle or top right.

Enter your Job Name and scroll the Product Line listings until you find the Plaques section near the bottom of the page. Select from Precision, Cast, Etched Plaques, or Thin Gauge.

Choose Your Specifications

For your plaque, you'll need to select your specifications including the plaque option, material, background texture, color, font style, and mounting style.

Production Method

Select the product for your plaque order. Choose from Precision Plaques, Cast Plaques, Etched Plaques, or Thin Gauge depending on the project needs.

*Precision Plaques* are known for crisp detail, more design freedom, and shorter production times.
	*Cast Plaques* offer great architectural depth and sculpted detail for timeless dedications.
*Etched Plaques* use chemical etching to transfer intricate artwork onto vibrant, ornamental signs.

Material and Shape

After selecting your product, choose its material. Select from aluminum, bronze, brass, or stainless steel options for plaque or plate orders.

Aluminum is a popular option due to its versatility, durability, and lightweight features.
Bronze features a reddish, decorative metal that resists tarnish and rust while retaining density.
Brass is a corrosion-resistant and affordable option with a more decorative aesthetic that resembles gold.
Stainless Steel is durable and allows for greater design versatility due to its ability to be painted.

Note: If you are making an order for a Precision or Cast Plaque, you will need to select a Product/Style. For Thin Gauge, only a Style is required.

Product Specifications and Mounting

You can choose to either enter your own specifications, pre-fill with the most popular chosen, or bypass entering specifications.

Caution: Choosing to bypass entering specifications will require artwork and additional notes on any features of specifications not clearly stated in the artwork.

Entering your own specifications will include dimensions, plaque environment, finishes, portrait/graphic textures, mounting options and more. However, these specifications may vary depending on the type of plaque your project is using. If you have chosen any custom specifications, make sure to include detailed notes. You also can order multiple quantities of your specific order as well.

Once you are done selecting your plaque’s specifications and mounting, click the red Done with Plaques button at the bottom of the Plaque selection.

To tailor your plaque request, upload sized vector artwork files within the Upload Your Artwork section. Simply click the white Choose Files button and upload your artwork in the space provided. You can learn more by reading the How to Upload Art in Partner Portal article.

Be sure to indicate the project dimensions, including the desired length and width of your plaque, as well as the height of your letters and/or images in the file. You can also upload additional files within the Upload Files section below Upload Your Artwork to provide further details or instructions on your plaque order.

Note: All plaque requests come with standard thickness, except for Etched Plaques which will require you to specify the thickness dimension you would like for your project.
