Custom License Plates and Frames With Your Photo or Logo

A custom license plate frame puts a name, a business logo, a club or a short line around the plate on a car, and this shelf pairs two frames with three decorative plates that carry a whole design.

How personalizing works

  1. Pick the giftAny piece here. Order one, or many of the same.
  2. Send a logo, photo or noteUpload a file, write us a note, or both.
  3. Approve your proofWe design it and email you a proof. Nothing is printed until you approve it.

Same logo on every piece: order one or many, no minimum.

The license plate frame and the metal license plate frame carry your artwork on the border. The license plate, the vanity plate and the mini license plate carry it across the full face; they are novelty plates for a garage wall, a game room, a car show display or a gift, and they do not replace the registration plate a state or province issues. All five carry colour that bonds into the surface rather than sitting on top of it. Prices run $21.99–$26.99 depending on the piece. Upload a photo or a logo, or add a note with a name; we design the plate or the frame and email you a proof. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof, so the lettering can be checked first.

Frames, decorative plates and the mini plate

The license plate frame and the metal license plate frame carry your design on the border around a plate: a dealership or business logo, a club name, a family surname or a short line. The license plate and the vanity plate are full plates with your artwork across the face, and the mini license plate is a smaller take on the same idea, for a name on a shelf, a desk or a child's bedroom door. Every plate here is a decorative novelty piece, not a registration plate.

All five pieces carry colour that bonds into the surface. The guide to colour that bonds into the material explains why a background should run past the edge and why white in your file shows the piece itself rather than printed white.

More custom pieces for the car and the driver

A plate frame pairs naturally with the rest of a gift for a driver. Custom car mats carry a name or a photo on the floor, custom keychains put it on the keys, and custom phone cases carry it everywhere else. For a car club, a dealership team or a garage crew, custom embroidered caps carry the same logo, and the bulk and group orders page covers ordering for the whole group.

Custom License Plates and Frames With Your Photo or Logo — common questions

Can a decorative plate from this shelf replace the plate my state issued?
No. The license plate, the vanity plate and the mini license plate are decorative novelty pieces. They do not replace a registration plate from any state or province, so treat them as decoration and check your local rules before putting anything on a vehicle.
What design suits a license plate frame compared with a full plate?
A frame is a border, so it suits a short line of text, a name or a small logo along its edge. A full plate gives the whole face to the design, which is where a photo, an illustration or a large name has room to work.
How do the license plate frame and the metal license plate frame differ?
Both carry your design around a plate and are printed the same way, with colour that bonds into the surface. The metal license plate frame names its material in its title, so compare the two product pages for the finish and options before you choose.
What is the mini license plate for?
It is a scaled-down plate that carries a name or a short word in the same style as a full-size one. It works as a name sign for a bedroom door, a desk or a shelf, or as a small gift for a fan of cars.
Which designs suit a novelty vanity plate?
Short, bold characters in strong contrast, the way a real plate is laid out: a few large letters or numbers, a simple border and one colour behind them. A photo works too, as long as the subject fills the face rather than sitting small in the middle.
Can a business put its logo on a license plate frame?
Yes. A logo with a transparent background plus a short line, such as a web address or a phone number, is the classic dealership or business frame. Upload the logo, add the line in a note and check both on the proof before you approve it.
