Number plates – whats allowed and whats not?
Posted by valegraphics on 14 November 2005 at 19:47Can anyone tell me if I can legally produce and sell plates? Are only new plates to have a kite mark, do i have to sell as “show plates”, how many fonts can i use legally. To produce on a cadet, is the easiest way to print reversed on clear, and do i need “wet” plates or “dry” plates if i’m doing it this way???? 😮 😮 😕 Hope somebody has some good advice.Cheers

I’m sure others will fill you in with the details, but you have to register with the dvla to produce number plates.
unless you are making a load at once i woundnt have thought the cadet was a good way to do it. you would be competeing against smaller specialist kit that just make plates.
just my 2p

MATTCheck out the DVLA website
It’s legal in Scotland
I use a OKI laser and print onto transparent film with a sticky back then apply onto acrilic plates
Software like LG Plates lets you know what is legal and what is not
