The border on a cast plaque is cast integral with the plaque and is generally highlighted by either a stroke-sander, a buffing wheel or hand-rubbed to provide a pleasing contrast with the background finish.
Standard Borders
These consist of flat borders and are available
at no extra cost on all standard sizes. Some designs
are not practical on small namestrips under 3"
in height.

Ornamental Borders
Decorative borders based on classic
designs are available at additional cost
on most standard sizes. These borders are
dimensionally sculpted and hand finished.
Because these are custom made, often they
are used in combination with an unusual
shaped or sized plaque.

others can be easily created from artwork.
