Bernard Engraving

<h3>About Bernard Engraving Co</h3><p><strong>Bernard Engraving Co</strong> has been a trusted name in marine identification for over six decades. With roots dating back to at least 1958, the company has spent generations perfecting the art of producing durable, readable, and regulation-compliant signage for boaters, sailors, and marine professionals alike. Whether you are outfitting a dinghy, a bluewater sailboat, or a charter fleet, Bernard Engraving offers the labeling and registration solutions to keep your vessel properly identified and legal on the water.</p><h3>A Comprehensive Marine Identification Catalog</h3><p>Bernard Engraving specializes in marine identification products, offering everything from small switch labels to large fabric sail letters. Their extensive catalog includes registration number plates in both hard plastic and pressure-sensitive vinyl-mylar formats — a thoughtful range that serves wood, fiberglass, metal, and inflatable hulls alike. Hard plastic plates can be screwed directly to wood hulls and removed easily at refinishing time, while pressure-sensitive label plates adhere cleanly to fiberglass or metal surfaces.</p><p>One of Bernard Engraving&apos;s most recognized product lines is the Identi-Plate, widely regarded as the industry standard for switch and panel identification aboard vessels. Stocking over 150 of the most popular switch labels in the standard 1/2&quot; x 1-1/2&quot; size, these molded plastic plates can be glued, mounted, or screwed in place — making them a go-to solution for electrical panel labeling on boats of every size.</p><p>Complementing their plate offerings, Bernard also produces registration letters &amp; numbers available in both outdoor-grade vinyl and rigid plastic, with character heights ranging from 1 inch to 12 inches. These peel-and-stick options are designed with DIY boaters in mind, making it straightforward to apply compliant registration markings directly to any hull or to a registration plate before mounting.</p><h3>Built for the Marine Environment</h3><p>What sets Bernard Engraving apart is their unwavering focus on marine-grade durability. Their vinyl labels and plastic signs are designed for outdoor use, resisting UV exposure, moisture, and salt air — conditions that quickly destroy lesser identification products. The U.S. Coast Guard mandates various informational plaques on boats of different sizes, and Bernard Engraving maintains an up-to-date inventory of all required compliance plaques, many of which are also available in a convenient vinyl label format.</p><p>Beyond compliance products, Bernard rounds out their lineup with fun nautical plaques, cover plates molded from high-impact ABS plastic, non-corrosive winch handles, and custom-engraved plates made to your specifications. It is a catalog that reflects decades of listening to what boaters actually need — from the practical to the personal.</p><h3>Why Choose Bernard Engraving?</h3><ul><li>Over 60 years of marine identification expertise</li><li>Registration plates available in hard plastic and pressure-sensitive vinyl-mylar</li><li>Outdoor-grade vinyl lettering from 1&quot; to 12&quot; tall</li><li>Industry-standard Identi-Plates for switch and panel labeling</li><li>U.S.C.G.-compliant informational plaques and labels</li><li>Custom engraving services available to your specifications</li><li>Products suitable for wood, fiberglass, metal, and inflatable hulls</li></ul>
