Most of us see a license plate as a necessary evil. It is particularly unsightly if the letters on the aluminum signs scratch or fade after a short time. And who doesn't know them, the unsightly parking bumps caused by towbars? Especially now in summer, our cars should of course shine in full splendor. Scratched and dented metal plates don't really fit into the concept.
Fortunately, there is now a visually appealing and durable alternative to the aluminum plate: the extremely stable 3D license plates made of plastic. With their relief-like appearance, they definitely attract attention and beautify every vehicle, in contrast to the easily scratchable and dent-prone aluminum plates. The striking plastic labels are not only great for their appearance (and are fully approved without registration), they also have many other advantages that immediately convince:
- They are extremely flexible and return to their original shape even after deformation or in the event of minor parking bumps. Dents in the shield are a thing of the past and a curved installation on the bumper also works perfectly. The specially developed, drill-hole-free and frameless Easy Fix Ultra Velcro mount (TÜV test winner 2016 in comparison with conventional license plate holders) is best suited for fastening. However, the 3D license plates also fit into standard plastic holders or can be mounted with screws. Only the Simple Fix clamp bracket is not suitable for mounting the 3Ds due to the flexibility of the license plate.
- The circuit board and the letters of the 3D license plates are dyed black, UV-resistant and, unlike a normal metal sign, cannot fade. This makes them more resistant and easier to maintain compared to aluminum plates (on which only a thin layer of paint is applied). They therefore offer absolute long-term added value for every car.
In a direct comparison, the 3D license plates are clearly in the lead. - Thanks to the specially developed embossing process, the individual plastic letters are riveted to the license plate. The lettering is thus firmly attached to the sign and cannot fall off.
- 3D license plates are much easier to clean than sheet metal number plates: The circuit board of the 3D license plates is sealed with a nano film at the factory. As a result, dirt can be removed more easily than with a metal sign. Regardless of whether it is hand-washed or in the car wash: the 3Ds are clean again in no time.
- Another advantage: no entry is required to use the 3D plastic signs! The 3D license plates are fully permissible for road traffic and meet all valid ones
Norms. You don't even have to wait until the next time a car is registered: even cars with already sealed aluminum plates can switch to the dent- and corrosion-resistant 3D license plates. After receiving the order at www.3d-kennzeichen.de, all that is necessary is to simply re-stamp the badges from aluminum to 3D license plates at the registration office. - We summarized briefly how stamping works on 3D tags:
- And the best thing is that they are even available in different versions, tailored to the vehicle details: In addition to the satin black 3D Prestige license plates, there are also high-gloss license plates finished with piano lacquer (an absolute eye-catcher, the 3D Black Magic!), and red license plates for commercial use offered. All license plate variants are also available in shortened Sport XS versions. In addition, seasonal license plates, E license plates and H license plates can be made in satin black and high-gloss Black Magic look.
3D license plates in carbon look are also available. These are currently only sealed by a few road traffic authorities in Germany, as they are still in the approval phase. You should definitely speak to the responsible registration office before placing an order. This also applies to short license plates in Engschrift: Since these do not meet the standard of the Vehicle Registration Ordinance, the manufacturer does not give any registration guarantee for such custom-made products. (Update 11 / 2018: The carbon license plates are now approved and we have naturally ordered a set)
- The 3D license plates are a product that is manufactured and sold entirely in Germany. Several companies based in Germany work cooperatively to produce the circuit board and letters and deliver the best possible regional quality “made in Germany”. 3D-Kennzeichen GmbH, based in Passau, is the sole manufacturer and patent holder. All commercially available 3D license plates come exclusively from the 3D-Kennzeichen GmbH factory in Lower Bavaria.
And finally ... The flexible 3D license plates not only offer a design that clearly stands out and stands out from the average 08/15 license plate: the optically attractive 3D look is also preserved for the life of the car, because the elastic material does not dent when used as intended and is resistant to Corrosion and, thanks to the high-quality materials, also withstands minor impacts and parking bumps without permanent damage. Dents and scratches on the license plate are history!
