Plate styles
Nine ways to make a plate.
Same reg, same mark. What changes is how the letters are built. Pick one and watch the plates change.
4D 5mm. Laser-cut 5mm acrylic. Our deepest, boldest raised letters.
4D 3mm. Laser-cut 3mm acrylic characters that stand off the plate.
4D + Gel. 3mm laser-cut acrylic with a gel resin dome on top.
Outline. 3mm characters with a thin, 2mm-deep outline around the edge.
Hover. A 3mm character raised off the plate on a thinner one behind it.
Shadow. 3mm on the plate with a thinner 2mm character on top.
Retro. A pyramid profile, pointed along the centre of every stroke.
3D Gel. Printed characters under a raised gel resin dome.
Printed. Classic flat printed characters. Clean, sharp, everyday.
Your supplier markYour name on every plate
Our workshop. Your mark.
Every plate you order carries your supplier mark, not ours. We make it in Durham and post it to you, or straight to your customer in plain, unbranded packaging.
- Your mark, approved once. Tell us the mark when you apply and it goes on every plate after that.
- Styles your kit can't make. 4D acrylic, Shadow, Hover and Outline, with no new equipment.
- Single pairs welcome. No minimum order and no stock to hold.

Questions
Questions, answered.
Who can open a trade account?
Any UK business registered with the DVLA's Register of Number Plate Suppliers (RNPS). Every account needs its own registration, and we check it on GOV.UK before we approve you.
Whose name goes on the plates?
Yours. You give us your supplier mark when you apply, we approve it, and it goes on every plate you order.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order a single pair whenever you need one.
Can you send plates straight to my customer?
Yes. Put your customer's address in at checkout and we post the plates in plain, unbranded packaging, so they arrive as if they came from you.
When do I see your trade pricing?
As soon as your account is approved. Sign in and every style shows your trade pricing.
How do I pay?
By card at checkout.
I'm not VAT registered. Can I still apply?
Yes. A VAT number is optional.
Who checks the customer's documents?
You do. As the registered supplier, you see your customer's documents and keep the records. We make the plates to your order.
Buying plates for your own car?
This site is for the trade. Head to utopiaplates.co.uk.
