Make Printed Number Plate as Normal
To start, simply make your number plate as normal. Ensure you remove any protective covers from the acrylic face and wipe the plate clean. Because we have sourced digits with adhesive that permanently bonds to all our plate constructions. You can use our Number Plate Digits with our Film, Reflective and 3-Part Plate components.
Stick Digits on Number Plate
In brief, you make a True 3D Plate by sticking our digits one by one onto an existing number plate. Like our printed number plates, these digits have to be used with our combined solutions to be road legal. And we can only guarantee their compliance when assembled correctly. You must print the registration number like normal for a True 3D Number Plate to be legal!
Begin by placing your number plate flat on a clean and well lit work surface. Note: The digit adhesive is permanent and once placed can’t be removed.
Start by removing the carrier film from the rear of the first digit to be fitted. This is the side coated with the specialist adhesive and is completely flat without bevelled edges.
Align Digit with Printed Registration
We recommend using a printed registration as a layout guide, it removes the need for a stencil or mount. Position the first digit carefully above a character. Not only does the pre-printed registration provide an assembly guide, but it also ensures legal spacing.
Apply Digit Firmly to the Acrylic Face
Next, press the black digit down firmly into place. Hold it onto the surface for a few seconds to bond permanently. Now simply repeat these application steps for each digit of the registration mark.
Remove Protective Film off Digits
Next remove the protective carrier film from the face of each the plastic digits. The film stops the digits getting dirty or scratched before application.
Allow Glue Time to Cure
Remember to wait a few minutes after fitting for the glue to fully cure before handling or fitting to a vehicle. Note: Digit adhesive is pressure sensitive, so to ensure British Standard compliance apply firmly or use an adjustable roller jig.
