Dash Dynamics’ Square Number Plate Jig
At long last, our wonderful team has finally developed the Dash Dynamics Square Number Plate Jig. This jig is designed to produce 3D gel and 4D acrylic number plates for vehicles such as Land Rovers.
The jig comes with pre-printed and cut guides for all combinations of registrations. This includes single digit registrations and registrations with a country identifier
Compatible Square Number Plate Sizes
The jig supports several common square number plate sizes, including:
- 280mm x 203mm
- 285mm x 203mm
- 290mm x 213mm
- 330mm x 203mm
Depending on the plate dimensions, additional spacing bars can be used along the edges to ensure a secure fit during production.
How to Use the Square Number Plate Jig
Using the Dash Dynamics Square Number Plate Jig is simple and efficient.
Step 1: Secure the Plate
Insert the pre-rolled square number plate into the jig space.
If necessary, use the additional spacing bars to hold the plate securely in position.
Step 2: Position the Digit Cursor
Place the digit cursor along the top and bottom edges of the plate area.
Important:
- Use the cursor with the “top” side facing upward for the top row
- Use the “half” cursor for single-line plates
- Flip the cursor upside down for the bottom row
Step 3: Align the Registration Layout
Using the printed guideline at the top of the jig, identify the correct starting point for the registration format being created.
Align the left edge of the cursor with the corresponding guide mark.
This ensures accurate spacing for:
- Standard registrations
- Short registrations
- Private number plates
- Country identifier layouts
Step 4: Apply the Digits
Carefully peel and apply each digit within the cursor area.
The cursor is designed with the required 11mm spacing on each side of the character, helping maintain professional and compliant spacing standards.
Repeat the process for each digit until the row is complete.
Step 5: Complete the Bottom Row
For two-line square number plates, flip the cursor so the “bottom” side faces upward.
Use the printed guide again to determine the correct starting point and repeat the placement process.
Step 6: Remove the Finished Plate
Once all digits are applied, remove the completed plate from the jig.
The result is a professionally aligned:
- 4D acrylic square number plate
- 3D gel square number plate
- Custom UK registration plate
