Nameplate & Panel Technology understands the labeling needs of botanical gardens & arboreta.
          

 

  Plant identification labels are used to give the viewer quick, precise information.

  A typical label might show the species, common name, and family name of a plant.

  Popular sizes are 3" by 5" &
4" by 6", but are available in any size. 

 

  Interpretive signs are designed to give your visitors in-depth information.

  It is common to use a photograph or line drawing on these signs.

  We manufacture any size up to 24.0" x 40.0".

STYLE 1
Mounting with Growth
Expansion Spring

Place screw through mounting hole in tag.   Slip spring over screw with large end of spring toward tree.  A small starter hole may have to be drilled for installation into hard woods.  Tighten screw a minimum of 1/2" into tree.  Stainless steel spring will hold tag in place and compensate for future growth.

STYLE 2
Mounting with Rivets

Most common way to attach to stake requires the use of a blind rivet tool and 1/8" diameter aluminum rivets, available at most hardware stores.  Place rivet into mounting hole from the front of plant tag and matching hole in stake with mandrel (shank) pointing up.   Insert mandrel into rivet tool.  Break off mandrel by squeezing handles.

STYLE 3
Mounting with Hidden Screw Mount

No unsightly screws or rivets with this assembly.  Two anodized aluminum plates are permanently bonded with hidden screws protruding from the back of the tag.  Total thickness over 1/16" for resistance to bending.  Easily mounted by inserting hidden screws through matching holes in stake.  Place locknut on screw and tighten with 5/16" wrench.  Plates are just as easily removed for storage, but can only be loosened with a wrench.
