Photocast Products

Our Story So Far

Photocast Products Ltd, a Liverpool-based company, has been at the forefront of designing and manufacturing etched zinc and cast bronze interpretive, decorative, architectural plaques and signage for over three decades. Established in 1988, we have grown to become Europe's largest zinc engraving facility, serving a diverse range of clients including The National Trust, English Heritage, Scottish Highlands Trust, Eagle Promotions, UNESCO, and many local authorities.

Our clients appreciate our commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and customer service. We take great pride in transforming our clients' visions into unique, customised designs that meet their specific requirements. Our in-house designers and artists use image manipulation technologies and specialised techniques, such as photo processing, chemical etching, CNC cutting, and sand casting, to create bespoke designs that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Our Services

At Photocast, we offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet the needs of our clients. Our services include:

• Blue Plaque & Dedications: We create unique and meaningful blue plaques and dedications that honour individuals, events, or milestones in history. Our blue plaques are a popular way to commemorate significant contributions to local communities, and we have been involved in the Blue Plaque Scheme in the UK.
• Cast Bronze & Aluminium: We use a deep etching process to create intricate patterns and designs on cast bronze and aluminium plaques. Our cast bronze and aluminium plaques are durable, long-lasting, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
• Castcoat: Our Castcoat system is an extraordinary and revolutionary metalizing system that is changing the way people think of metal. Using this system, we can create stunning, customised designs that are both functional and decorative.
• Interpretation Panels: Our interpretation panels help identify important areas of land or occasion, making them ideal for parks, museums, and other public spaces.
• Memorial Plaques: We specialise in creating customised memorial plaques that honour and commemorate loved ones, heroic acts, and significant events.
• Street Art & Furniture: Our street art and furniture are custom-made to fit seamlessly into their surroundings. Whether it's a notice board, a sign, or a piece of street furniture, we can create a customised design that meets your needs.
• Tactile & Braille Signage: We use the relevant braille language to create tactile signs that the visually impaired can read with touch, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity.

Our Projects

Over the years, we have worked on a variety of projects, from cast bronze memorial plaques and commemorative plates to high street signage and braille plates. Our work can be found throughout the UK and globally, including the Blue Plaque Scheme in the UK, the Commonwealth Walkway, and various prestigious Castcoat commissions throughout the Middle East.
