Gel number plates, also known as 3D gel plates, are a popular option for vehicle owners who want a unique and stylish way to display their registration. Unlike standard printed plates, gel plates feature raised characters made from a high-gloss resin material, giving them a three-dimensional appearance.
These plates are made using a combination of premium acrylic and polyurethane resin, which not only enhances the look but also adds to their durability. The characters are applied using precise alignment techniques to ensure correct spacing and a clean finish. After application, the resin is cured to achieve the final glossy effect.
From a legal perspective, gel number plates are fully compliant with UK regulations, provided they follow DVLA rules such as correct font (Charles Wright), spacing, and reflectivity. They are also required to meet the BSAU145e standard, which covers aspects like visibility, durability, and layout.
Many drivers choose gel plates not just for their appearance, but also because they are weather-resistant, easy to clean, and generally long-lasting. Common customisation options include border styles, national flags, and different plate shapes like square or oversized oblong formats.
Itâs important to note that while visual modifications are allowed, the core legal requirementsâsuch as font and spacingâmust remain unchanged. Additionally, when ordering number plates in the UK, you must provide valid identification and proof of vehicle registration.
