3D Number Plates – What Are They?

3D Gel Number Plates, also known as 3D domed gel number plates or 3D gel resin number plates, represent the pinnacle of number plate design. These plates feature sheet-cut characters covered with a high-quality polyurethane gel resin, which creates a raised profile on the number plate. This unique style is often referred to as 3D gel resin plates, and they are renowned for their premium quality.

Are 3D Gel Number Plates Legal?

The legality of 3D number plates is a common concern. You might be wondering, “Are 3D number plates legal?” or “Are 3D gel plates legal?” The answer is a resounding yes! All our 3D number plates are fully legal and meet the stringent standards set by the DVLA.

These 3D car gel number plates are 100% road legal, complying with British Standards (BS AU 145E), ensuring their suitability for use on UK roads. As one of the UK’s leading suppliers of legal 3D number plates, we are committed to maintaining high-quality standards in every aspect of our 3D licence plates.

What 3D Number Plates Can I Design?

The versatility of 3D Gel show plates allows you to add them to various styles of number plates. These 3D plates can be incorporated into large rear plates, 4×4 plates, and even custom shapes. As long as the characters comply with legal size regulations, you can add 3D plates to your motorcycle as well.

While we used to offer two-tone 3D-look characters without the raised gel effect, this style is no longer road legal, and we have discontinued it. However, our 3D gel plates are still a fantastic way to enhance the appearance of your personalised registration mark. Explore our extensive range of 50 million DVLA number plates to find the one that suits you best. If you can’t find your ideal registration plate, our team is here to assist you in your search.

3D vs. 4D Number Plates

A common question we encounter is the difference between 3D and 4D number plates. Both styles have gained popularity over the years, leading to some confusion among customers. Both 3D and 4D plates feature raised characters but differ in materials and manufacturing methods.

3D gel number plates are created by covering characters with polyurethane gel resin, resulting in a smooth raised profile. In contrast, 4D plates are made from solid acrylic, leading to precise and “boxed” cut characters. While both styles have a 3D appearance, 4D plates offer a distinct design that sets them apart.

How Are 3D Gel Number Plates Made?

• Printing and cutting of legally sized characters.
• Application of a premium-grade resin, designed to match the cut lines of the letters and numbers
• Placing the finished characters in a specially designed, low-heat oven to remove bubbles.
• Once the desired results are achieved, the characters are removed from the oven and allowed to cool.
• After solidification, the high-strength 3m adhesive backing is peeled off, and the characters are applied to your plates.
• The plates are rolled through airtight rollers, making them ready for dispatch
