All About Legend Plates
A legend plate is a flat plate that surrounds a push button or switch. Descriptive text is engraved into the plate. The engraved text provides greater wear resistance than printed labels. They are used in industrial and commercial areas where printed labels will not last. They are sometimes called lamacoid labels or engraved tags.
Legend Plates are available in a variety of colors and sizes. Easy to customize with your choice of text. A peel and stick backing makes them easy to install.
Our easy online ordering system makes obtaining custom legend plates easier than ever. Just enter your text and select your colors to preview your plate. Our automated system will process your order in record time. You don't have to settle for pre-printed plates that do not fully describe the function of your system.
Uses of Engraved Legend Plates
- Electrical switches, buttons and indicator lamps.
- Field devices like limit switches, proximity switches and sensors.
- Electrical junction boxes, motor control centers and disconnects.
- Hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
- Safety and warning signs.

How They are Made
Plastic: The plastic has two layers in different colors. The laser removes the top layer to expose the inner layer. The resulting product is durable and legible.
Stainless steel plates are laser cut and fiber laser engraved. The fiber laser creates a permanent mark in the surface of the steel. The marks will not come off with anything short of a grinder.
