Product Range In addition to the type of plaques, signs, memorials and name-plates you see illustrated, we produce an extensive range of tags, data-plates and labels to suit most engineering applications including pressure vessels, refrigeration equipment etc. etc. The brewing, catering and marine industries frequently call upon our expertise in manufacture of stainless steel plates for the equipment in clinical or hostile environments. We are etchers. Etching is a photographic engraving process which employs acid to create the relief effect normally achieved by removing metals with a rotary cutter. It is, on flat sheet at least, far more versatile and precise than engraving. Photo-etching has been around for most of the 20th century and Hockerill Engraving has combined traditional methods with modern computer technology to create images which are deep or even deeper than conventional engraving, it is not to be confused with the shallow, surface etch produced by the majority of etched name-plate manufacturers. As previously described it is a photographic process, and we can use customers artwork be it black and white or film, from fax, e-mail or floppy disc, or we can produce artwork for you in any style, typeface, alphabet or language. The process is suitable for single plates, for sequentially numbered labels and data-plates with varying information.
