Commemorative plates have many different uses especially as they're made based on different occasions. These plates can be used by both companies and organisations and almost any event or occasion you want to host will not be dulled by a commemorative plate, instead they'll help you remember the occasion years later. They also have specific ways that they should be displayed to attract the most attention.
Special Events
Commemorative plates are very popular in special events. They are good souvenirs and collectibles for guests and besides that, they show off the purpose of the celebration.
Wedding and Anniversary Celebrations: For a wedding or anniversary, you can engrave the date on the plate and at later times look at the plate and remember that special occasion. It just depends on your creativity. On commemorative plates meant for family use, you can simply put either the family name or a photo of the family on the plate. Plates that are meant for personal use can contain a quote that impacts you or one that you like, engrave it on the plate and look at it as long as you want. You can even engrave special messages on your plate, the kind of messages that are rarely gotten, or the last message from an old loved one before they passed, engrave this message and let them live forever in your heart.
Corporate Recognition: Aside from personal use, organisations also use commemorative plates alot for different occasions also. They use them to mark their achieving or passing a milestone or finally making headway in a particularly difficult area that has been bugging the company. At such times, the company might engrave the year they finally broke through or simply just engrave what they achieved on the plate. It could also just be an engraving of how long the company has been actively functioning. Companies also use commemorative plates to recognise service of outstanding staff or personnel. It can be an annual recognition or maybe just a recognition for diligence and good service to the company. Another way companies use commemorative plates is in special corporate events. The theme of the event is engraved on the plate for all to see. It serves as a very nice decoration.
Display Methods
You can display your commemorative plate in various ways depending on the size of the plate and the audience it's meant for.
Wall-Mounted Solutions: Typically, large sized plates are usually hung on walls. This method of wall mounting is actually very nice as it saves room for you while also adding decorations to your space. It also helps you focus easily on the plate as the plate is neither too high or too low so you don't have to crouch or stand on the tip of your toes to see your plate. Wall mounting also gives protection from dust and handling which can cause damage to the plate. One reason why commemorative plates are destroyed is because of excess handling. You can never tell when you're going to be careless when moving your plate and before you realize yourself it's in broken pieces on the floor. Mounting the plate on a wall would save you from this dilemma.
Professional Display Cases: This is a modern way of displaying commemorative plates.It's done by keeping the plate inside a box of tempered glass brought by a tableware supplier which is then kept on a stand. This protects the plate from excess handling while putting it on full display. Plates are also kept in adjustable shelves with built in lighting options to make them more attractive.
Environmental Considerations: To keep your plates safe from damage for as long as possible, it's best you keep the plates somewhere that the sun's light would not be able to reach. Also, ensure the climate is controlled where your plate is mounted as humidity can damage it. Very importantly, the plate should be mounted securely especially in a dust free environment.
Commemorative plates do not only serve as beautiful decorative elements. With the right preservation and care, they'll remind you of beautiful events and occasions you attended a long time ago. After all, these plates can last for years if kept well.
