Products
What types of license plate frames do you manufacture?
We manufacture license plate frames for different vehicle and regional plate formats, including the United States, Europe, Japan, Thailand and other markets.
Our product range includes plastic, stainless steel, aluminum and other confirmed material options, as well as automotive and selected motorcycle license plate frames.
Available structures, dimensions, mounting styles and finishes vary by product. If you are unsure which frame is suitable for your market, send us your plate dimensions, photos or drawings and we can help evaluate the appropriate option.
What is the difference between a license plate frame, holder, bracket and cover?
A license plate frame mainly surrounds the outer edge of the plate and may also provide space for logos, dealer names or decorative elements.
A license plate holder usually supports or retains more of the license plate, while a license plate bracket is primarily used to attach the plate to a vehicle or adapt different mounting positions.
A license plate cover is placed over the plate and may be subject to visibility or legal restrictions in some markets.
Because these products have different structures and functions, the correct terminology should be confirmed according to the actual design and application.
Will one license plate frame fit every vehicle?
No. License plate dimensions, mounting-hole positions and installation areas vary by country, vehicle type and model.
Before selecting a frame, confirm:
- License plate width and height
- Frame opening size
- Mounting-hole or slot positions
- Vehicle mounting area
- Front or rear installation
- Clearance around the plate
- Retaining or locking method
- Nearby cameras, sensors or body panels
For OEM projects, we recommend confirming the actual plate specification or providing a sample before production.
What materials are available for license plate frames?
Depending on the product design, available materials may include ABS, PP, stainless steel, aluminum alloy and other confirmed materials.
Each material offers different advantages in weight, rigidity, corrosion resistance, surface appearance, manufacturing method and cost.
Our team can recommend a suitable material based on your target market, frame structure, finish, branding method and order requirements.
Do you manufacture license plate frames for different countries?
Yes. We manufacture license plate frames for different regional plate formats.
Common product groups include US, European, Japanese and Thai license plate frames, as well as frames developed for other country-specific plate sizes.
Because plate dimensions and mounting requirements are not identical across all markets, please provide the destination country and actual plate size when requesting a custom product.
Customization
Can you manufacture custom license plate frames?
Yes. We support custom license plate frame projects for automotive brands, dealers, importers, distributors, promotional companies and private-label programs.
Customization can include frame dimensions, material, mounting structure, hole positions, colors, surface finishes, logos, lettering, decorative elements and packaging.
You can send us a drawing, sample, product photo or design concept for evaluation.
Can you customize the size and shape of a license plate frame?
Yes. Frame dimensions, inner opening, border width, mounting positions and structural details can be customized according to the target license plate and vehicle application.
For new structures, custom tooling or molds may be required. We recommend confirming the actual plate dimensions and mounting requirements before tooling begins.
What logo customization methods are available?
Logo options depend on the frame material, design and required appearance.
Available methods may include:
- UV printing
- Silk screen printing
- Raised lettering
- Molded lettering
- Laser engraving
- Custom nameplates
- Badges or decorative inserts
- Chrome-plated logo elements
Send us your logo artwork and preferred appearance, and we can recommend a suitable manufacturing method.
Can you match our brand colors?
Custom colors can be evaluated according to the material, surface process and production method.
For printed graphics, coatings or molded plastic components, please provide your Pantone reference, color sample or approved artwork when possible.
Final color appearance may vary slightly between different materials and finishing processes, so sample approval is recommended for projects with strict color requirements.
Can you make custom dealer license plate frames?
Yes. Dealer license plate frames can be customized with dealership names, logos, websites, phone numbers, slogans and other branding information.
Depending on the design, branding can be printed, molded, raised, engraved or applied using a separate badge or nameplate.
We can also support private-label packaging for dealer groups and automotive programs.
Can you customize the packaging?
Yes. Packaging can be customized according to wholesale, retail or private-label requirements.
Options may include individual bags, header cards, retail boxes, labels, barcodes, instruction cards, carton markings and other project-specific packaging.
Please provide your packaging artwork or requirements when requesting a quotation.
Ordering & MOQ
What is your minimum order quantity?
MOQ depends on the product material, existing tooling, customization method, surface finish and packaging requirements.
Standard products using existing tooling generally have different minimum quantities from fully customized products that require new molds or special processes.
Send us the product style, estimated quantity and customization requirements, and we will confirm the appropriate order conditions for your project.
Can I order samples before mass production?
Sample availability depends on whether you are selecting an existing product or developing a new custom frame.
Existing products may be available for evaluation, while custom projects may require prototype, tooling or pre-production samples.
For OEM projects, we recommend approving the product structure, color, logo and packaging before mass production.

Manufacturing
How are custom license plate frames manufactured?
The manufacturing process depends on the material and product structure.
Plastic frames may involve mold development, injection molding, printing, plating or assembly. Metal frames may require cutting, stamping, forming, machining, polishing, coating, anodizing or other finishing processes.
Logo application, inspection, assembly and packaging are completed according to the approved product specification.
Can you develop custom molds and tooling?
Yes. New molds or production tooling can be evaluated for custom frame dimensions, mounting structures, clips, logo areas and other design features.
Before tooling begins, we normally confirm the product drawing, material, critical dimensions, expected appearance and production requirements.
Samples should be approved before mass production whenever new tooling is involved.
What information is required for custom tooling?
For a new mold or tooling project, it is helpful to provide:
- Product drawing or 3D file
- Physical sample, if available
- License plate dimensions
- Mounting requirements
