A sharp upgrade to your uniform identity

You want your uniform to reflect your standards, and the WCUniforms Custom Engraved Uniform Nameplate helps you present a clean, professional look every day. This engraved uniform nameplate offers one or two engraved lines in bold black lettering that stays easy to read on scenes, during inspections, or while helping the public. The nameplate comes in both silver and gold tone finishes with a smooth, polished surface that catches light without looking overly reflective. 

Law enforcement, fire, EMS, and security teams count on fast recognition. The crisp engraving stands out clearly against each metal tone, giving you confident identification at any distance. The lettering in the photo appears centered and evenly spaced, matching the precision engraving used on the final product you receive.

Built to match duty wear and dress uniforms

Your plate measures 5/8 inch by 2 1/2 inches, which fits standard uniform pockets, tabs, and carriers used across public safety and corporate settings. You can add up to 15 characters per line to show your name, rank, badge number, or title. Choose the backing you prefer: pin and safety catch, magnet, or clutch back. Production time is usually 3 to 7 business days, so your custom item ships quickly once engraved.

• Most law enforcement uniform shirts, jackets, and outer carriers.

• Fire and EMS station uniforms and dress coats.

• Security, concierge, hotel, and guest service attire.
