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.

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.
