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.
Some Definitions
- Lamicoid or Lamacoid: A generic term that refers to a layered plastic material. Examples include lamicoid tags, lamacoid labels or lamacoid tags.
- Phenolic: A layered material made with paper or fiber and resin. It is rigid, brittle and has sharp edges. Indoor use only. Used in specific military and heavy industry applications. This term is often misused. If your RFQ calls for Phenolic, we may ask you to clarify.
- Norplex, Micarta: Brand names for the above.
- Acrylic Based Engraving Stock: The right choice for most applications. Flexible and easy to laser or machine. Suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Cost effective. Widely used in commercial and industrial facilities. Available from a variety of vendors in many colors.

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.
