3D Gel Motorbike Number Plates

3D gel number plates are a relatively new vehicle customisation option and one that is growing in popularity. They offer a aesthetically appealing and eye-catching way to personalise a vehicle in comparison to regular flat number plates. But there is more than just looks when it comes to 3D gel number plates. The state-of-the-art technology used to create these plates provides an extra layer of security and protection for vehicles and their owners.

The 3D gel plates are digitally printed and then covered with a reflective gel layer, similar to the film used on car window tints. The gel has a light-sensitive coating that illuminates when head-lights or sunlight hit it. This allows the plates to stand out from the surrounding background, making them hard to miss and helping to identify vehicles more quickly and easily. As well as protecting drivers from being victimised by criminals and fake number plates, the 3D gel plates also offer extra protection against natural elements.
