Masterwork Plaques creates [custom bronze plaques](https://blog.masterworkplaques.com/cast-bronze-plaques) for the following uses:  building management signage, commemorative and dedication plaques, national register plaques, water-jet cut lettering, bas-relief portraits, inset medallions, awards, logos, donor plaques--the list goes on and on.  If you can imagine it, we can probably create it. Our studio carries a selection of different metals at a variety of price ranges.  While cast bronze plaques are the most popular choice, we also offer aluminum plaques, brass plaques, and stainless steel plaques, in addition to zinc, copper, and muntz plaques.  Each metal has its own range of benefits, and the variety of metal options allows our customers to select what works best for them. ### MASTERWORK IS BASED IN NYC, SHIPPING NATIONALLY. Our design studio is located in Brooklyn, NY within a community of skilled artisans and entrepreneurs of many trades.  We take advantage of our location as much as possible.  We believe in supporting local businesses and do our best to work with small companies in the surrounding area.  Providing finely crafted, American-made products to our customers makes us proud. Our studio can ship to clients across the country, and can often ship overseas.  We have clients in all 50 states, and have shipped to Canada and France among other countries. ### OUR PHILOSOPHY Masterwork Plaques is a custom plaque-making studio, interested in creating one-of-a-kind plaques for businesses, [building management](https://blog.masterworkplaques.com/buildingplaques), dedications and commemorative occasions. Our studio came into being from the desire to revolutionize the metal plaque industry, which is filled with mass-produced signage and standard memorial plaques.  We founded a business where each plaque is created from unique designs and materials of the finest quality.  We believe that plaques made to commemorate the special events in life should be, well, special!   Content Title Description < Previous page Next page > ### Posts by Tag -
