Start Your Custom Plaque Design
Designing a plaque is about more than appearance—it represents service, tradition, and honor. At MilitaryPlaques.com, we make it simple to create custom plaques that meet the standards of military units, federal agencies, and government institutions. Every piece is hand-carved from premium kiln-dried mahogany, ensuring accuracy, durability, and professional presentation.
Step 1: Define the Purpose
Decide what the plaque will represent—retirement, unit recognition, office display, or an official government seal. Clear purpose guides the design and helps us recommend the right size, shape, and level of detail.
Step 2: Select Size and Shape
We offer plaques ranging from small 4″ presentation pieces to 72″ wall displays. Popular shapes include round seals, shields, and rectangular plaques. The choice depends on placement—whether in an office, lobby, or ceremonial hall.
Step 3: Choose Seal, Logo, or Insignia
Most military and government plaques feature an official seal or emblem. Our team is licensed to reproduce Department of Defense seals, service branch logos, and federal agency emblems and does so with absolute accuracy. Adding custom artwork ensures authenticity and distinction and incurrs no extra artwork or manufacturing costs.
Step 4: Add Text and Personalization
Include essential details such as the name of the organization, the honoree, rank, dates of service, or a short dedication. Keeping text clear and concise ensures professional readability and visual balance with the emblem.
Step 5: Approve the Mockup
Every order includes a free design mockup. This proof shows layout, lettering, and emblem placement before production. Only after your approval do we proceed to hand-carving and finishing.
