.003 aluminum foil: .003 nameplates are ideal for nameplate applications where you require the long lasting durability of an aluminum plate but desire a thin, flexible material. Combined with the right adhesive, this aluminum can conform to curved surfaces.
.005 aluminum foil: .005 nameplates are a good choice for flat surfaces where a thin aluminum is desired.
.005 dead soft aluminum foil: Dead soft nameplates are specifically designed to wrap around curved surfaces such as pipes, cylinders, or other curved surfaces. This metal bends easily to conform to almost any surface.
.012 dead soft aluminum foil: While .012 aluminum is usually considered a rigid nameplate material, the .012 dead soft is soft and flexible and able to conform to a curved surface. This metal is desired when a thicker plate is desired and flexibility is necessary.
