How Our 4D Gel Number Plates Are Made
4D Gel number plates have become one of the most popular choices for drivers looking for a premium finish with maximum depth and gloss. At PlatesForYou, every plate is made to order using quality materials and a careful production process to ensure a professional finish.
Step 1: Creating The Number Plate Blank
The process starts with a high-quality acrylic backing and reflective face.
These components are pressed together to create the finished plate blank, providing the strength, durability and reflective properties required for everyday use.
For road legal number plates, the required supplier details and British Standard markings are then printed directly onto the plate before any characters are applied.
Step 2: Fitting The 4D Acrylic Characters
Once the plate has been prepared, the registration characters are positioned and aligned.
The 4D characters are manufactured from high-quality acrylic and fitted individually using premium 3M automotive-grade adhesive. This creates the sharp, raised appearance that has made 4D number plates so popular.
Every character is carefully aligned to ensure a clean and professional finish.
Step 3: Applying The 3D Gel Layer
After the 4D acrylic characters have been fitted, the final stage is applying the 3D gel characters.
These are fitted directly onto the 4D acrylic letters using high-quality 3M adhesive, creating the distinctive 4D Gel appearance.
The combination of raised acrylic and glossy gel gives the plate additional depth, shine and visual impact while maintaining a premium finish.
Step 4: Final Quality Checks
Before dispatch or collection, every plate is checked to ensure:
- Characters are correctly aligned.
- Adhesion is secure.
- The registration is presented correctly.
- The plate is clean and free from marks.
- The finished product meets our quality standards.
Once approved, the plate is packaged and prepared for dispatch.
