What is a Serial Number Plate or Rating Plate?

These two products are closely related, the only major difference is their contents.  A serial number plate’s key role is to include a serial number — a unique identifier for an item. A rating plate, on the other hand, can provide extra pieces of information that identify the product but may not necessarily be considered a serial number.

A plate that contains this extra information is more likely to be referred to as a rating plate. These plates can also include information like energy efficiency, fuse types, and other similar gradings that might help an individual to better understand the precise functions of the product.

These types of plate can also be referred to as data plates or placards.

Unmatched Durability for Harsh Environments 

At GSM Graphic Arts, we specialise in creating serial number plates that withstand the toughest conditions. Whether it’s exposure to extreme weather, chemicals, salt spray, high humidity, or elevated temperatures, our products are engineered to maintain their integrity and ensure your data stays legible for years. Trust us for reliability when it matters most. 

Printed with Premium Materials 

We take quality seriously. All our products are certified to stringent standards, including ISO 9001:2015 certification, giving you confidence in their performance. We use only the best materials, such as anodised aluminium, stainless steel, and industrial-grade plastics. These materials ensure exceptional wear resistance, clarity, and longevity, making them ideal for industries that demand excellence. 

Strengthen Your Brand with Bespoke Designs 

Go beyond functionality by incorporating your company logo, branding, or unique identifiers into your serial number plates and labels. Our custom designs elevate your brand image, giving your products a professional and polished appearance that stands out in any industry. 

Industry-Specific Expertise Across Key Sectors 

With decades of experience, we provide solutions tailored to a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical equipment, and heavy machinery. Whether you need weatherproof tags for outdoor equipment or industrial-grade labels for high-performance machinery, GSM Graphic Arts is your trusted partner for industry-specific needs. 

The catering industry, for example, may require nameplates for kitchen equipment that are able to endure harsh washing detergents. A plastic serial number rating plate that is under-surface printed with water-resistant adhesive to the rear will do the job.

Electronics manufacturers can require rating plates that carry information about products, just as assets in the security and surveillance industry may need to be serialised with an anodised aluminium solution.

Having been a leading serial number plate and serial number label manufacturer since 1974, the chances are that we’ve worked with your market sector and will be able to provide you with an appropriate, long-lasting, high-performance solution.

Advanced Manufacturing for Precision and Quality 

Our cutting-edge manufacturing techniques guarantee precision and high quality. We employ advanced methods, including etching, engraving, screen printing, and digital printing, to create serial number plates and labels that are both functional and visually striking.

High Performance & Robust, Even in Harsh Environments

Serial number plates can tend to be used in adverse, challenging conditions — be it severe weather, chemical cleansing, humidity, salt spray or extreme temperatures. Depending on your requirements, we can manufacture stainless steel decals that have been chemically etched and filled to ensure maximum resistance.

We can provide the serial plates with either strong, weatherproof adhesive and/or rivet holes. These can be punched to specified sizes to ensure that the metal rating plate cannot be removed or defaced.

All of the serial number labels and plates we manufacture conform to the finest standards and can be tailored specifically to your environment and application. This might include a personalised logo or design.

We can also help you identify each product through the use of serial data numbers that are generated by your company.

Why are Serial Number Plates Crucial for Businesses?  

Our digitally printed nameplates ensure that your products are individual and can be identified as a singular item as well as part of a range. All our serial number plates and labels play a vital role in asset tracking, inventory management, product identification, and compliance. By partnering with GSM Graphic Arts, you’re investing in a solution that offers:  

Traceability: Improve operational efficiency and ensure regulatory compliance with clear, durable serial numbers.

Security: Protect against counterfeit products and unauthorised tampering with high-quality, tamper-evident labels.

Longevity: Save costs in the long run with products designed to endure challenging environments without fading or wearing off.
