A YAG lasered stainless steel plaque has your text, logo or artwork engraved by laser into rust resistant steel. Design it online in Canadian dollars and we ship it anywhere in Canada.
Made for salt, slush and frost
Picture a plaque beside a path that gets salted every winter, on a post near a parking lot, or on a garden wall that sees months of snow and a spring of freeze and thaw. That is the kind of spot a YAG lasered stainless steel plaque is built for. Stainless steel is rust and corrosion resistant, it is not harmed by frost, and it works just as well indoors in a lobby or hallway. Where road salt splashes onto signs near paths, choosing a material that resists corrosion is the practical call.

Sharp detail from a YAG laser
The plaque is marine grade 316 stainless steel, passivated to protect the surface. A YAG laser drives your inscription and silhouette motifs into the face of the steel and leaves a subtle black result, which lasts far better than acid etching with paint filled lettering. The result is sharp and precise, which makes it a good match for fine type, detailed logos and line artwork. The cool grey finish of the steel suits modern buildings and offices, yet it reads as calm and dignified in a memorial garden.
The same plaque serves very different people. A company might order one for corporate recognition or a building dedication. A historical society might mark a site. A family might place one in a memorial garden, or set one beside a favourite tree as a pet tribute; our outdoor pet memorial plaques page has more ideas for honouring an animal.

Price, delivery and cemetery rules
In the design tool on 22 October 2026, a 300 by 200 mm (about 12 by 8 inch) stainless steel plaque was $371.13 in Canadian dollars, and the price changes as you change the size and options.
The price in the design tool is in Canadian dollars and includes shipping across Canada. We confirm the delivery date for your plaque with the proof. We do not install plaques, so arrange mounting yourself or through the site owner.
If the plaque is for a cemetery, check the cemetery’s own rules first, since every Canadian cemetery sets them in a by-law, diocesan regulation or private rulebook. In British Columbia, section 41 of the Cremation, Interment and Funeral Services Act says the operator must allow a memorial bought elsewhere if it complies with the cemetery’s rules. Any setting or permit fee is charged by the cemetery and is separate from our price.
How to order
- Measure the wall, post or space, and for a cemetery ask the office for its written marker specification.
- Lay out your text and logo in the stainless steel plaque design tool, with the price shown in Canadian dollars as you go.
- Read the free written proof we prepare before production and share it with anyone who needs to sign off.
- Press Proceed to Purchase, or save your design and pick it up again from My Account.
Frequently asked questions
Will a stainless steel plaque rust beside a salted path?
Stainless steel is rust and corrosion resistant, which is why it is a sensible choice near paths and parking areas that are salted in winter. It is not harmed by frost either.
Can I put my company logo on the plaque?
Yes. You can add logos, text, symbols and artwork in the design tool, and the YAG laser engraves them with sharp detail, so the plaque works well for corporate recognition.
Is a stainless steel plaque suitable for a pet memorial?
Yes. Pet tributes are one of its uses, in a garden, on a wall or indoors. Add your pet’s name, dates and a short message or artwork.
Can I use a plaque bought online in a British Columbia cemetery?
Under section 41 of the Cremation, Interment and Funeral Services Act, the operator must allow a memorial bought elsewhere if it complies with the cemetery’s rules. Ask for the written specification and design to it.
Is mounting or installation included?
No. We make the plaque and ship it across Canada, but we do not install it. The site owner, a local installer or the cemetery handles mounting.
