With plate modification becoming an ever more popular option for those looking to add a unique look to their car, gel plates (both 3D & 4D) are becoming the go-to customisation option. But did you know this unique style isn’t limited to just a licence plate?
In this blog, Bespoke Plates will be telling you about the best-personalised number plate keyrings, and providing you with information that will help you understand some of the vital services we offer along with our bespoke accessories.
Keychains are an accessory that can be added to your keys, these accessories can take many forms and are only limited to the imagination of the creator. Almost every brand sells or offers a keyring.
What do people put in keychains?
Keychains can contain a variety of items, some are convenient like car keys, house keys etc. Sometimes keychains can contain novelty items like a mini-torch, bottle openers and more.
Keys, whether they be house keys, don’t usually have any significant identifiers that make them unique, you have to use them in order to know if they are yours. This is exactly why keychains are a great solution, as they personalise your key collection.
Personalising your key collection via keychain accessories gives your keys a unique stamp, making them easily identifiable to you, as you can choose what you add to your keychain.
Why do people buy keychains?
As previously mentioned, keychains add a level of personability to your key collection, making it easily identifiable. Alongside this, they can make a thoughtful and personal gift without necessarily breaking the bank to buy one.
Additionally, keychains are sometimes given as a gift in order to promote a brand, keychains are an understated level of personalisation to your key collection and is a smart way to advertise a brand in a way that is more subtle.
How do you organise a keychain?
There is no set method for organising a keychain collection, it is completely up to you how you choose to order your keychain.
Bespoke Plates, aside from being a licensed number plate vendor, also supplies 4D personalised number plate keyrings. Before we tell you about this unique option, let us tell you about our speciality, Gel Plates.
Explaining Gel Plates
A ‘gel plate’ refers to a licence plate with slightly exaggerated characters that differ from a standard licence plate. Gel plates can come in the form of 3D or 4D plates.
Although there is doubt about the legality of gel plates, as licenced vendor we can confidently tell you they are completely legal. And our installation is done to the rigourous standards set by the UK government.
For those looking to add character, impact and a sleek appearance to their car, 3D & 4D plates have seen a surge in popularity beyond the car modification community, as car modification has become common. Their popularity is not only because of their unique and Bespoke look but also their increased durability.
As an approved licence vendor with years of experience, Bespoke Plates offers this sleek plate upgrade, so for those who are curious, here is a brief description of 3D & 4D gel plates.
3D plates – What makes them unique?
- Characters placed by hand
- Acrylic plate – polyurethane letters
- Rounded-raised characters with a wet, gel-like look
3D plates are made from acrylic with individual raised letters. The raised letters are manufactured from polyurethane and get ‘stuck’ to the acrylic plate by hand. An aligner bar is used to guarantee perfect spacing.
The rounded and shiny gel-like appearance of 3D plates makes them a great choice if you want to add understated personalisation to your vehicle.
4D plates – How are they different?
- Characters are placed by hand
- Acrylic plate – acrylic letters (laser cut)
- Rectangular and deep-raised characters
4D plates are also made from acrylic, but instead of polyurethane characters, they use professionally laser-cut characters made from acrylic sheets. This allows the characters to be thicker and more rectangular for a more eye-catching look.
You can also get 4D gel characters which have a ‘wet look’. These are made in the same way as 3D letters but have a thicker profile.
4D plates carry a premium over 3D plates by up to 20%. The reason 4D plates cost more is that the individual characters are laser cut, or they are of the thicker gel variety. In the case of laser-cut, the characters are also made to order in-house.
The 3D and 4D plates we offer are available in several styles:
4D plate options
- 4D 3mm
- 4D 5mm
- 4D Gel
- 4D Glitter Gel
- Carbon 4D Gel
- Krystal 4D
- Krystal Gel
3D plate options
- Black
- Carbon Brickwork
- Carbon Galaxy
- Glitter Gel
It’s important to note that with all these different styles, the only thing that changes is the texture and appearance of the characters.
