What do Metal Etched Plates have to do with binderies and books?

We put them on binders and books instead of doing foil stamping, printing, embossing/debossing or screen printing.

The metal can be aluminum, tin, brass or steel. We mounted plates ranging in size from 1/2” x 3/4” to 11” x 14”, there is a huge range!

Metal Etched Plates can be attached to binder and books by three methods:

  1. Gluing
  2. Riveting
  3. Pinning

The following two images show a ring binder that has an aluminum plate that is both etched and screen printed.

The next two images show plates that are both etched and coloured.

This next two images show “pin pieces.” We drill 2 small holes into the cover, insert and bend the two prongs inward and line the book lid or book cover to hide the prongs.
