Are there any legal artwork requirements for a number plate?

By law, the registered name and postcode of the supplying outlet must be displayed on the number plate. If this information is not displayed, the number plate is classed as illegal and could result in a fine.

What size can the artwork be?

The name and postcode of the supplying outlet can vary between 3mm and 10mm in size, depending on how it’s printed. If you want to display additional information to your number plate, such as a logo or website, you should consider a lipped number plate design.

What can I have on a lipped number plate?

On the physical number plate itself, the same rules apply, although anything can be displayed on the lip of a number plate. This section along the bottom of the number plate can be used as an advertising strip, whether it’s your company’s website, telephone number or a personalised design, we can design something to suit you.

Can you have flags on number plates?

Yes, you can. You can display any regional flag on the left-hand side of the number plate, along with its identifying name or letters. The flags we have available are:

  • England (Cross of St George)

  • Wales/Cymru (Welsh Dragon)

  • Scotland (Scottish Saltire)

  • Great Britain (Union Flag)

  • Green Flash (for Zero Emission Vehicles only)

You will need to display a UK identifier on your vehicle when traveling within Europe.

Can I order a showplate?

Showplates are illegal. It is an offence to alter or rearrange the digits on a number plate. However, Showroom plates are available to display on your forecourt or in your company showroom.

How do I contact the Design team to discuss my artworks?
