Have you not considered making these yourself from scratch? Seems like a business opportunity to me, seeing as blanks are virtually impossible to obtain. You could sell them as personalised one-off's, or as bulk blanks to other businesses.

Although I'm recently retired, I have worked the last 16 years as a delivery driver and these number plates are, as you say, very popular. Some have slogan's on such as 'Remove your shoes before entering!' (on the posh estates! :biggrin: ).

Yes thanks guys could look at getting the Aluminium backing and then the Acrylic/perspex all cut to size will look into this a bit more I think, and like you I was once a delivery driver and noticed these every where

Exactly what I was going to say, Nothing there that isn't easy to find and readily available and probably cheap as chips.

..... or ..... cut out the middle man, buy a laser cutter, and do the lot in-house for greater profits and more control over quality and stock.

These ones are all flame edged acrylic and they come with the screws, backing, aluminium etc and honestly I think they are something stupid like £2 or £3 quid each from the far east but you have to order lots. I tried to source them locally in the UK and was coming up with a cost that was more to buy in the UK than people are selling them for online (and that's before doing work or postage).
