VN Graphics has introduced an exciting innovation in the production of molds used for casting decorative plaques. As an alternative to magnesium engravings, photopolymer plate material offers several distinct advantages. Our plates are more economical than magnesium plates, costing about half the price. In addition, we have developed a method of creating custom textures and applying them to the background of the plate to produce a decorative effect that cannot be duplicated with other types of molds.
