Photographic Metal

Durable Plaques, Tags, and Signs

Would you like a permanent addition to a memorial garden, plant stake, nature trail, etc? We have the capability of reproducing photographic images and text on silver or gold metal for plaques, tags or signage. Images are reproduced from color or black and white photos and will last for years. Metal is weather resistant in all extreme conditions and will withstand normal wear and tear. Thickness of metal available ranges from .008" to .020". If this does not meet your requirements, we have several other options available. Overall size reproducible can range from the low end (1/4”) to the high end (15” x 22”). We also now have the capability to produce high quality photographic negatives needed for our metal process. Eliminates extra production time and gives us greater control from start to finish.Application for this process could include, but not limited to:

Graduation Diplomas

Wedding Announcements

Birth Certificates

Specialty Rulers

Memorial Plaques

Anniversary Keepsakes

Trail Signs

Company Identification Tags

Serial Number Tags

All of the manufacturing processes Colorado Laser Technologies can provide are showcased in a project recently completed for The Grace Center/St Mary's High school. Laser Cutting, Laser Marking, Photographic Metal, Design, and *Assembly* are all visible in the photos below. The signs were mounted on 16 gauge 304 Stainless Steel, which were Laser Cut using a combination of both of our two Laser Cutting systems. The 1/2" thick black acrylic was also cut to size using our Laser Cutter with attention being paid to hanging detail. The Photographic Metal images were first designed using a variety of methods including hand drawn images, photographs, computer generated text, to name a few. These aluminum images are totally weather resistant to moisture, heat and cold. To further protect against the elements of the ever-changing Colorado weather and to insure against vandalism, a 1/4" thick clear acrylic piece was Laser Cut and then mounted on top of the other layers to form a permanent piece of art.

Individual leaves denoting the donors to the landscaping project were Laser Cut from anodized aluminum and Laser Marked. The leaves were then affixed to the three piece tree that had been transferred onto the Photographic Metal. The wall piece can be changed over the years to include additional donors since the clear acrylic protection was designed so it could be removed.	Dedication Plaque
Smaller Pieces denoting the history of the project and memorable occasions are also scattered around the property.
