What is the Gloss Aluminum Bicycle License Plate?
A working license plate. Anodised aluminum, light and corrosion-resistant. It measures 6" x 3" .025".
In practice: aluminum gives you a metal look and metal durability at a fraction of the weight, and it matters when you are shipping several hundred units..
Laser engraving cuts through the anodised layer to bright metal. Sublimation-coated aluminum also accepts full-color photographic printing. It goes on the front of a vehicle and is read by every driver behind it. Sustained local exposure for a one-time cost.
Treat this as reach inventory. The point of the tier is that you can put one in every hand at an event without the total ever becoming a conversation with finance. Concretely: $7.95 each at 1-11, $4.93 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 4.5 in x 1.5 in.
Laser Engraving
A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved.
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
Single color: the natural color of the material under the surface.
Dye Sublimation
Heat converts solid dye to gas, which bonds into a polyester coating or ceramic glaze. Full-color artwork embedded in the surface rather than sitting on top of it.
Full-wrap photographic decoration on mugs, coated drinkware and coated metal.
Full color. Cannot print white. The substrate supplies white.
UV Printing
UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain.
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
Production schedule
| Digital proof | Same or next business day |
|---|---|
| Standard run | 3 to 5 business days once the proof is signed off |
| Rush run | quoted per job once the proof is signed off, with the date confirmed in writing |
| Delivery | 1 to 5 business days on the ground network |
Common uses
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
Automotive & Dealerships
Delivery day is the highest-emotion moment in the customer relationship. A keychain, a tumbler or a desk piece handed over with the keys attaches itself to that memory. Service-department giveaways work on a different logic, frequency, not sentiment, so unit cost matters far more there. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. Awards are read as a hierarchy whether or not you intended one. If the participation piece and the champion piece look similar, the champion feels short-changed, and that is remembered longer than the result. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Down to $4.93 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Student-facing items live rough. They go in backpacks, get left outdoors and are rarely cleaned, so durability matters more than finish. Faculty and donor gifting is the opposite problem and deserves an entirely separate specification. An imprint area of 4.5 in x 1.5 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.
Franchise & Multi-Location Brands
The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. A single approved item list, locked artwork and a repeatable re-order path stop forty locations producing forty versions of the logo. Stocked programs with fixed pricing are what make that governable. At $7.95 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.

What do buyers ask about UV201?
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. UV201 sells from a single unit at $7.95, the first rung of its published ladder, so a sample is simply a normal order. A decorated single piece goes through the same proof as a full run.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves. If the box arrives visibly damaged, write that on the freight bill before signing. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes. Give us the in-hand date and checkout tells you immediately whether standard production makes it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. UV201 measures 6" x 3" .025" and is made of aluminum. Aluminum gives you a metal look and metal durability at a fraction of the weight, and it matters when you are shipping several hundred units.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Yes. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. Material batches can vary slightly on natural materials, which is worth knowing if color matching across orders is critical. The published ladder on UV201 runs from $7.95 a piece at 1-11 down to $4.93 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $6.36 a piece. The published ladder on UV201 runs from $7.95 a piece at 1-11 down to $4.93 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on UV201 is 4.5 in x 1.5 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
What is the minimum order for UV201?
UV201 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on UV201 runs from $7.95 a piece at 1-11 down to $4.93 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on UV201 is 4.5 in x 1.5 in.
