How We Make Our Plates

At Car Plate Creations, we use a specialized vacuum forming process to create high-quality raised-lettering plates that stand out. Unlike flat vinyl prints, our plates are made with polystyrene material and crafted with precision for a premium look and feel.

Step 1

Vacuum Forming & Lettering

Your chosen polystyrene colored background is vacuum-formed over silicone letters, creating the raised effect.

For state and stock backgrounds, your raised lettering is molded onto a clear polystyrene layer and applied over the background, creating a crisp, dimensional look.

Step 2

Painting & Drying

Each letter is hand-painted to match your selected text color, then hang-dried for 15-20 minutes to set the paint.

Step 3

Final Assembly

Holes are punched for easy mounting, and the plate is framed with a protective cover to maintain durability and shine.

Built to Last, Made While You Wait!

Our process ensures that every plate is durable, weather-resistant, and built to last. Whether you order online or visit us in person, you’re getting a high-quality, handcrafted product.
