The BASICS:

SIZING: Minimum cast letter size: As small as 1/4" ALL CAPS & 3/8" c/lc. Count # of characters (letters + spaces) and divide by 4, providing typical plaque size in square inches. E.G.: 200 characters divided by 4 is 50 sq.". This allows for proper design features like borders, heading, differing font sizes etc.

IMAGERY: Primary pictorial imagery consists of Flat or Bas Relief. Many find the distinction between Bas Relief and Flat Relief imagery confusing. Click-to-Enlarge images, then compare & contrast the treatments presented. Bas is sculptural. Flat isn't; it's either upper level A or lower level B; no dimensions in between. Think of bas reliefs = "rolling hills", flat reliefs = "plateaus". Click Here for an audio/visual explanation. Click Here for another graphic representation. Attaching an etched plaque or MetalPhoto for a portrait−line art or halftone−are other options.

The cast bronze plaque at right features a SunFast Gold MetalPhoto of the building image with an Integral Post Cap Mount. These are often called Roadside Markers. For more information & sample pricing, visit our National Historic Register Page.

BAS-RELIEF PLAQUES: Virtually any design can be produced in bas relief. Portraits begin with a submitted picture of the subject. A clay mold is then made. Once approved the image is cast. The final step is attaching the casting to the base plaque. Bas reliefs up to 9" tall: add $899 art charge to the plaque price. You likely won't find a better offer elsewhere. Bas reliefs of inanimate objects lesser amounts. Visit Emblems & Portraits for flat vs. bas relief comparisons.

PictureCast plaques can be a great value for "nouveau" bas relief plaques.
