Brass Data Plates
Brass Data Plates Built to Last
When your equipment needs identification that’s both durable and distinctive, brass data plates deliver. Brass resists corrosion, holds up in harsh environments, and carries a professional appearance that sets your equipment apart. Combined with our TECH-3D deep embossing, brass data plates provide permanent, legible identification that lasts for the life of your equipment.
Tech Products has manufactured TECH-3D embossed brass data plates since 1948. Utilities, OEMs, pipeline operators, and industrial manufacturers across North America rely on our plates for critical equipment identification.

Why Choose Brass for Data Plates
Brass offers a combination of durability and appearance that other materials can’t match. It resists corrosion without rusting, maintains its structural integrity in outdoor and industrial environments, and carries a distinctive look that communicates quality. For equipment that represents your company or serves high-visibility installations, brass data plates make a statement.
Combined with TECH-3D deep embossing, brass data plates deliver identification that is physically part of the metal. The raised characters cannot fade, peel, or scratch away. Even after decades of service, your serial numbers, capacity ratings, and specifications remain completely legible.
Applications
- Pump and compressor identification (serial numbers, model numbers, capacity ratings)
- Electrical equipment specifications (HP, RPM, AMPS, VOLTS, PHASE, HZ)
- Fire department connection (FDC) plates
- Auto sprinkler identification
- Facility safety and caution signs

Frequently Asked Questions
What thickness options are available for brass data plates?
We offer brass data plates in .032 and .060 thickness. The .032 thickness works well for standard identification applications where the plate is mounted flat to equipment. The .060 thickness provides additional rigidity for larger plates or applications where the plate may be subject to impact or vibration.
How do brass data plates compare to aluminum data plates?
Both use our TECH-3D deep embossing for lifetime legibility. Brass offers superior corrosion resistance and a distinctive gold-tone appearance that communicates quality. Aluminum is lighter and less expensive, making it the right choice for most standard applications. Choose brass when appearance matters or when the operating environment demands maximum corrosion resistance.
Can you emboss custom logos and graphics on brass plates?
Yes. We regularly produce brass data plates with company logos, custom graphics, and specialized layouts alongside standard data fields like serial numbers and specifications. Send us your artwork and data requirements, and we will provide samples for your approval before production.
Is serialization available for brass data plates?
Yes. Consecutive numbering and serialization are available for production runs of any size. This is commonly used for tracking equipment serial numbers, asset identification, and manufacturing lot numbers.
What attachment methods are available?
Brass data plates come with your choice of holes for mechanical fastening (screws, rivets, bolts) or adhesive backing for peel and stick installation. Most standard hole diameters are available. Specify your preferred method when ordering.
