sublimation imprinting process

Sublimation

Your full color text, numbers, logos, and graphics are imprinted onto the metal using a heat transfer process.

There's a Story Behind Every Plate

Congratulations to Marc Winzenreid who created a CW Combo Key (dual-key) hand radio design which won a contest and was published in a national magazine!

Global Recognition was honored to create identification plates for his design and for the lid of the wood box. Marc was impressed with the sharpness of imprint details on the small brass plate measuring 1″ wide x 0.50″ high. This is one of the smallest plates we’ve created. We can create custom sizes because we imprint and cut our own plates in-house.

During a fascinating conversation with Marc, he shared that hand radios allow you to communicate with other people around the world using Morse Code. He has been a hand radio operator since 1968! Did you know that knowing Morse Code used to be a requirement to get an amateur radio operator license up until a few years ago. Since then, there has been a renewed interest in hand radios and Morse Code.
