Our pressed metal number plates are meticulously crafted by our skilled manufacturing team. The process involves precision machines pressing the plates to within a 1% pressure tolerance. These raw plates are then passed through another machine where hot foil is applied to the raised lettering at temperatures exceeding 200 degrees Celsius. After this, they undergo a cooling process, resulting in the exceptional durability of our German-style number plates.

Superb service, 4D plates look brill. Delivery driver turned up late though, so 4 stars.
Couldn't believe how good the shaped plate looks on my Range Rover Sport. The curve is perfect and it sits flush on the bumper. Absolutely love it..
Ordered road legal and MOT compliant plates. Delivered quickly. Plates have been fitted to van now and appear well made. No issues to report and would have no hesitation recommending Number1Plates.
Communication was spot on! Delivery was right on time despite me making a mistake with my order which was rectified within the timeframe & did not affect delivery timing. Plate is just how I imagined, would definitely recommend!
