The NOVELTY PLATES MADE TO ORDER plates were specifically designed for retail stockists who wished to have a display to help them promote to customers the fact that they can have custom made novelty plates and signs made for them.  The display is two plates which come as a pair or singly so please choose your preference and colours from the drop down menu.

Then click 'View Order'. Check the plates you want are listed and then click "Add Details and Send" - in this screen there is an "Order Notes" box where you can type in the characters you want on the plate and the colours required, then simply complete your details in the required fields and then hit 'SEND MY ORDER NOW'. You will not be asked for payment until we have ensured we have the details correctly understood By law we must avoid character combinations that are similar to state issued licenced or personalised registration plates and in general this includes avoiding the following Alpa Numeric combinations:  AAA NN / AA NNN / AAA NNN / NNN AAA / NNN AA  / AA NN AA  / NAAANNN. For bon fide car collectors and exhibitors we can get around this if our customer provides a signed statement of intentional use. There is a Colour chart posted on this website HERE  or there is an icon to click on in the linked products below Please be aware these are intended as novelty plates for decoration only. The authorities say “Attachment of a novelty number plate to a vehicle could attract the interest of law enforcement officers should it affect the visibility of, or distract from, or imply it is, the actual registration plate of the vehicle.” If you want a plate with a picture background then we can also do these types of plates for you - virtually anything you want can be created with our modern digital equipment.  The key is good art, and we can do ANY GRAPHIC!    ANY DESIGN!    ANY COLOUR! For more details on creating a picture background 'Graphic' plate (or sign) to your own design please CLICK HERE FOR CUSTOM MADE GRAPHIC PLATE DETAILS Important note about images we provide for novelty signs and plates: Just as we sometimes see that “pricing is subject to change without notice”, so too are “designs subject to change without notice”. In 99.99% of cases, what you see on Dixie’s website or brochure is what you get. However, there are the odd times when designs have changed in some small way (eg: maybe a logo moves to a different location on the item, or the colour changes). Sometimes this information doesn’t always trickle down until the new designs are manufactured and shipped to Dixie. We hope this is helpful and understandable.  

For those retailers that mail out number plates and signs to their customers these packing boards may be very useful as they will protect the sign from bending in the mail or courier bag. They are precision cut from 3mm thick Masonite Sheets and most also have a 2mm layer of corrugated cardboard on one side.Sizes and weights are as below and are cut to be just slightly larger than the signs themselves.
