Highly Raised UL Plates
UL Plates with Highly Raised Embossed Text
When your equipment requires UL (Underwriters Laboratories) identification, the data plate needs to be permanently legible. UL inspectors, end users, and maintenance crews all rely on that plate to verify safety certification, electrical ratings, and compliance information. If the plate fades, peels, or becomes unreadable, it creates liability and compliance issues.
Tech Products manufactures TECH-3D deep embossed UL plates in stainless steel and aluminum with highly raised copy that stays legible for the life of your equipment. Our plates display UL certification marks, electrical specifications, and manufacturer data with the same deep embossing quality that has defined Tech Products since 1948.
TECH-3D Deep Embossed UL Plates
Our UL plates feature highly raised copy with deep relief. Electrical ratings, certification marks, and safety data are pressed directly into the metal, making them impossible to fade, scratch, or wear away.

Why TECH-3D for UL Plates
UL certification plates serve a legal and safety purpose. They must remain legible for the operational life of the equipment they identify. Printed, etched, or screen-applied plates degrade over time, especially on equipment exposed to heat, vibration, chemicals, or outdoor conditions.
TECH-3D deep embossing creates raised characters that are physically part of the metal. The text cannot fade from UV exposure, wash away, or be scratched off during maintenance. Even plates that have been painted over remain fully readable because the embossed characters show through. Combined with stainless steel construction, your UL plates deliver decades of guaranteed legibility.
Applications
- Electrical panels and switchgear
- Motors and generators
- Transformers and power distribution equipment
- Industrial control panels
- HVAC equipment
- Fire protection equipment
- OEM manufactured equipment requiring UL certification
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you produce UL plates with our specific UL file number and certification data?
Yes. Every UL plate is custom manufactured to your specifications. You provide the UL listing mark, file number, electrical ratings, and any other required data, and we emboss it with TECH-3D deep relief for permanent legibility. We provide samples for your approval before production.
What material is recommended for UL plates?
Stainless steel (available in .020 and .060 thickness) is the most common choice for UL plates because it provides superior corrosion resistance and maximum durability. Aluminum is a cost-effective alternative for indoor or protected applications. Both materials deliver lifetime legibility with TECH-3D embossing.
Is serialization available for UL plates?
Yes. Consecutive numbering and serialization are available for production runs of any size. This is essential for manufacturers who need unique serial numbers on each piece of certified equipment.
How do TECH-3D UL plates compare to printed or etched UL labels?
TECH-3D embossing creates raised characters pressed into the metal. The text is physically part of the plate and cannot degrade. Printed and etched labels rely on ink or surface treatments that break down over time from heat, UV exposure, chemicals, and handling. For equipment that must maintain legible UL identification for 20+ years, TECH-3D embossed plates are the professional standard.
What electrical data can be embossed on UL plates?
We regularly emboss HP, RPM, AMPS, VOLTS, PHASE, HZ, and any other electrical specifications your UL listing requires. Custom layouts accommodate any combination of data fields, certification marks, and manufacturer information.
