FAQs
How do I order a desk name plate?
Choose an engraved plate — the 4" x 1.5" bevelled two-toned plate is the classic desk size — add the black desk plate holder, and enter the name and title on the product page. Or pick the faux leather nameplate with business card slot for an all-in-one executive piece.
What should a desk name plate say?
Convention is the person's name on the first line and their title on the second — "Dr. Sarah Chen / Clinic Director." For customer-facing desks, name alone reads cleaner; for offices with visitors, name plus title helps people find the right person. Keep both lines short so the engraving stays large and legible across a desk.
Can I order a plate cut to a specific size?
Yes — our custom-cut plates are made to your exact dimensions in brass, silver, red, black-coated, and sublimation finishes. Enter your measurements and text on the product page, and we'll cut and engrave the plate ready to mount on your trophy, plaque, frame, or door.
Can you add a logo to name tags or plates?
Yes — full-colour sublimation plates reproduce logos and images exactly, and engraved badges can include logo artwork. Send us your logo file with your order, or contact us first for a proof on larger team orders.
How long do engraved plates take?
Each plate is cut and engraved to order in Canada, typically within a few business days plus shipping. For office-wide badge or name plate orders, contact us with quantities — we'll confirm a production timeline that hits your onboarding or event date.
