How It's Made
The process begins as a huge roll of aluminum is unrolled through a hot water bath and a straightener. Vinyl sheeting is applied with either the “First in Flight”, “First in Freedom” or the national/state motto design.

The aluminum is cut into 6” x 12” blanks. The tag’s corners are rounded and the four holes are punched. Blanks then go on racks to cure for 48 hours.

Alpha-numeric characters are set in place by hand under a press. Every license tag is pressed individually by manually changing the characters for each plate.

Tags are sent through a machine that applies paint to each of the raised characters.

After the paint is applied, tags run through a drier where they are manually collected.

Each tag is placed into an individual envelope and boxed, ready to ship.
