FAMILY-OWNED · MADE YOUR WAY

Your words.
Your style.
Your plate.

Personalized car and motorcycle plates with raised lettering, flat sublimation printing, or both.

On classic solid-color plates, raised letters are vacuum-formed directly into the polystyrene. With a background from our catalog or your own upload, the design is sublimation-printed flat and raised letters are vacuum-formed into a separate clear plastic overlay placed on top. That overlay is not the protective cover; neither option uses embossed metal. See materials & how they’re made →

BEHIND THE PLATES

A family business.
A hands-on process.

Our family makes the plates and brings Car Plate Creations to local shows. We vacuum-form raised lettering in polystyrene (plastic), then paint and assemble it. Learn what each style is made of before you order.
