Three generations. One standard.
Texas Nameplate Co. is a third-generation, family-owned manufacturer in Lancaster, Texas. We produce etched metal nameplates, panels, signs, asset tags, and screen-printed labels for industries across America.
We’re one of the smallest companies to receive the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award — and we’ve won it twice. Quality isn’t a department. It’s who we are.

At the heart of everything we build is chemical etching — a precision manufacturing process that uses controlled chemical reactions to selectively remove metal, creating permanent markings with extraordinary detail and durability.
With nearly 80 years of etching expertise, TNC has refined this process to an art. Our chemical etching capabilities are why the most demanding industries trust us with their identification and labeling needs.
Learn About Our ProcessChemical etching is our specialty — but we also offer screen printing, laser engraving, CNC & laser cutting, digital printing, punching & forming, and finishing. Explore all capabilities →
Precision
Tolerances as tight as ±0.001″ with intricate detail reproduction impossible through stamping or engraving.
Durability
Chemically etched markings won’t wear, fade, or peel — even in the harshest industrial environments.
Versatility
Works across stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and specialty alloys with equal precision.
No Tooling Costs
Unlike stamping or die-cutting, chemical etching requires no hard tooling — reducing setup cost and lead time.
