The best of both world. Our 4D Gel Number Plates are manufactured from laser cut 4D characters with a height of 3mm topped with a 3D Gel resin character to give a bold, domed effect to your number plate. The characters are polished before being dispatched to give a high glossy finish.
Take it to the next level with our 4D Gel Acrylic Number Plates. Laser cut from 3mm acrylic and topped off with our black high gloss 3D GEL.
The size of a standard plate number is 520mm by 111mm for vehicles in the UK. A shortened personalised number plate is legal, providing it has at least one letter and one number. (Please note this size will vary if you opt for our shortened plate option. Shortened plates are available in 14”, 16” and 18” depending on the length of your registration number. If you are unsure if your registration will fit in a shortened version please ask and we would be happy to help.)
If you’re sat there thinking “what is a 4d number plate?”, then the answer is simple! “4D plates” are the latest addition to number plate text styles. 4D laser cut plates use acrylic that is configurable to any of your number plate designs. The new raised 4D plate style adds an even more personal and premium feel to your bespoke number plate design. Our 4D Gel Number Plates are manufactured from laser cut 4D characters with a height of 3mm topped with a 3D Gel resin character to give a bold, domed effect to your number plate. The characters are polished before being dispatched to give a high glossy finish.
We often get asked various questions about the legality of 4D plates, such as “are 4d plates legal” and “are 4d reg plates legal”, and the simple answer is absolutely yes! The DVLA states that characters must be solid black, which makes 4D number plates legal! The jet black acrylic characters have been designed and laser cut to match standard Charles Wright Font text with exacting standards. The number plate material that you add this text style to is made to the same British Standards (BS AU 145e) that all legal number plates must adhere to. Get in touch with Laser Plates today if you want further information on how our 4D license plates are legal.
As explained above, the term ‘4D’ is just what the industry refers to them as, in order to distinguish between them and 3D Gel plates. Unfortunately, our 4D car plates don’t travel through time just yet…
Yes, as part of our wide selection of 4D acrylic number plates, we also offer 5mm 4D plates, as well as 4mm Gel 4D plates too!
All plates are supplied with 12 months warranty covering manufacturing defects or naturally occurring issues. The warranty does not cover customer inflicted faults. Please note BSAU145e regulations recommend using sticky adhesive pads to attach the number plates to the vehicle. For any warranty issues please contact us via the contact us page or email.
A stringent quality control process ensures that all components used to manufacture the number plates meet our high quality standard. All components used to manufacture the plates are British manufactured and of the highest quality. The number plates are manufactured from UV-resistant components designed to not fade in the sunlight.

To legally supply number plates we will need to see the original documents that:

The following will confirm your name only:
