Product details

What you’re buying

Printed plates keep the registration flat on the plate face for a familiar, clean look. They suit drivers who want a straightforward replacement number plate rather than raised characters.

Enter your registration, select the front, rear or both, then choose a compatible plate size, border, flag and fixing option. The price shown in the customiser reflects your selected plates and extras.

A straightforward replacement for your existing registration

Printed number plates have flat black registration characters rather than raised gel or acrylic lettering. They are a practical choice when replacing worn or damaged plates, or having plates made for a registration you already own.

Order a white front plate, yellow rear plate or front-and-rear pair. Standard oblong, short and shaped options are available where compatible; choose the format that suits your registration and vehicle mounting space.

UK delivery or Dunlop collection

Choose UK delivery or collection from Dunlop, East Ayrshire. Timing depends on approval and availability; wait for confirmation before travelling to collect.

Materials and finish checks

We use Nikkalite reflective materials and quality acrylic components sourced from specialist number plate wholesalers in the UK. Our road-legal plate components have been tested for BS AU 145e compliance. We inspect every finished plate for imperfections before it leaves our workshop. The complete plate and its configuration must also meet the applicable road-use requirements.

About our workshop

Questions about printed number plates

Can I replace just one number plate?

Yes. Select Front or Rear in the customiser. Choose Front & Rear Pair if you need both. The displayed price updates for the selected plates and extras.

Does the order include a new registration number?

No. We manufacture the physical plates for the registration you enter. You must already be entitled to use that registration; buying the rights to a private registration is a separate process.

Road Legal or Show
