- Tinted – Select if you would like a slick tinted finish to the number plate or not.
- Border design – Choose if you would like a border on your 3D number plate.
- Side Badge – Choose if you would like a Union Jack or Scottish side badge

Are gel plates legal?
To clear up any confusion, gel plates are 100% LEGAL if you stick to the outlined rules from the DVLA.
The latest update to UK number plate rules was released in 2021. The DVLA created these outlines to improve road safety, minimise the number of illegal vehicle activities, and clear up any confusion drivers were expressing. The industry is worth £2 billion in the UK alone, so it’s not like the government wants the trade to just come to a stand-still.
The legal terms that a number plate must adhere to are:
- be made from a reflective material – for road safety
- black display characters on a white background (front plate)
- black display characters on a yellow background (rear plate)
- not have a background pattern – so as not to distort the readability of your plate
- be marked to show who supplied the number plate – to assist with thefts and sourcing queries
- be marked with a British Standard number – this is ‘BS AU 145e’ for plates fitted after 1 September 2021
- The characters must not be removable or reflective. If your number plates were fitted after 1 September 2021, they must also be a single shade of black.
What are the benefits of choosing a 3D number plate?
There are lots of reasons to choose a 3D design, but some of our top ones are:
- Plates are reinforced with tough acrylic, meaning they are more durable than standard ones.
- The sleek look gives any vehicle a modern finish.
- Numbers and letters are highly visible, increasing the safety of your vehicle on the road. This helps other road users, as well as pedestrians and cyclists.
Are you looking for a show plate?
Our manufacturing service also includes 3D show number plates, which feature non-standardised tint, spacing and sizing for use at events or within promotional circumstances. These are not road-legal plates and cannot be used for daily driving.
If you have any special number plate design requirements, drop us an email and one of our 3D number plate specialists will respond within 24 hours.
What is the difference between a 3D and 4D number plate?
3D number plates are made with polyurethane gel resin which provides a smooth finish, and a slick raised profile due to the letters underneath. 4D plates are finished with a solid acrylic which provides a flat surface with 3D letters beneath.
We are pleased to offer both varieties of plates. Quality is also assured with both products, so it simply comes down to your personal preference in design.
