Nameplate Blog

Nameplates are used on a diverse range of products, each with their own set of unique needs.  A smooth cleanable surface was one of the requirements for the Whirlpool ice and water nameplates.  The nameplates also needed to be adhered to a curved surface.   A custom aluminum nameplate was created to meet these needs. 

The solution, which Whirlpool and Northern Engraving worked together to design, is a truly unique urethane domed nameplate which is formed.  The norlens, or doming process, is combined with embossed graphics.  The dimensional graphics catch the light while the lens provides a smooth surface.  A simple change in background color allowed the same nameplate to be used on different models.
