Client’s Reviews

Joe Raods

Purchased a 3D number plate for my car and wasn’t disappointed. The quality was fabulous, the delivery was fast, and everything seemed amazing. I wanted my number plate to be shiny and tough, and they made sure I got what I needed.

Aina Kelly

My experience was really good! The number plates were great, flexible, and durable. I had no issues attaching them to my car. Needless to say, my car looked awesome with these plates. I was a bit worried if they’d look exactly as I wanted them to, but thankfully, it turned out even better.

David Tom

Received my parcel today, and everything seems fine. The plates are good; there is nothing much to say about them. But after purchasing, I realised that 4D plates would have looked much better on my motorbike. Anyway, it was a nice experience with them.

Alisa Roy

Awesome! The plates are fantastic. Received them an hour ago—pretty fast delivery, though. I would definitely want to try showplates now. 

Frequently Asked Questions

3D number plates  are fully legal when they comply with DVLA number plates regulations. They must be made from reflective material with black characters, follow the BS AU 145e standard for font and spacing, and be permanently attached to the vehicle. Important: 2-tone 3D effects, previously allowed, are now prohibited. By adhering to these standards, Plate Empire ensures all custom number plates UK are road legal number plates suitable for cars, motorcycles, trailers, and caravans.

The 3D reg plates come with multiple beneficial aspects, such as: 

  • Enhanced Durability: Made from acrylic, which is rather hard-wearing, these plates’ surfaces are less likely to scratch, chip, or fade compared to ordinary metal plates.
  • Improved Visibility: A glossy surface and raised characters give high visibility, but they are at different angles and in poor lighting. This ensures the safety of all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.

Modern Aesthetics: This 3D design now gives your vehicle increased aesthetic value by giving it an appealing modern look.

Different 3D number plate sizes are available to fit your car and be legal and classy.

Standard UK Car Number Plate Size: At Plate Empire, we offer 520mm x 111mm 3D gel plates on car.

Even Smaller Options: We also supply plates that are even smaller and meet UK standards for motorcycles and ATVs with short registration numbers.

Legality Guaranteed: We always value your safety and have the documentation to prove that our plates meet the DVLA requirements (BS AU 145e standard).

Expert Help Available: If you have any questions regarding sizing or the legalities surrounding the 3D gel registration plate, please feel free to reach out to our friendly professional staff members. 

3D number plates  are made from polyurethane gel resin, giving the characters a raised, slightly stereoscopic appearance with a high-gloss finish. 4D number plates , on the other hand, are crafted from solid acrylic, allowing precise, sharp cuts around the letters for a bolder, more pronounced three-dimensional effect. Both styles provide a 3D appearance, but 4D number plates UK offer even sharper angles and enhanced visual depth, making them stand out on cars, motorcycles, trailers, and caravans.

There are two ways to order 3D reg plates
