4D number plates are the latest addition to number plate designs. They are made from 3mm black acrylic characters, stuck to our premium acrylic plates using high-strength 3M adhesives. As a 4D number plate maker we know the DVLA state that ‘number plates can be 3D’, therefore 4D plates are fully road legal and made to British Standards (BS AU 145d).
Absolutely, the above DVLA statement makes 4D number plates legal. The jet black acrylic characters have been designed and laser cut to match standard Charles Wright Font text with exacting standards. The number plate material that you add this text style to is made to the same British Standards (BS AU 145d) that all legal number plates must adhere to.

Though the process of making these products is more meticulous than our other options, we have worked hard in our preparation to ensure your order will have no delays and like our other products will be with you within 2 working days of placing your order.
This is a question that we are often asked. The demand for both styles has multiplied over the years and some customers get confused as to which is which. Both are part of our raised character collection and offer a dynamic edge to your plates. The difference lay in the materials and methods used to manufacture the characters.
3D gel number plates as we have previously mentioned are made using a polyurethane gel resin, which leaves a smooth raised profile. 4D plates are different in that they are made from solid acrylic. This makes for a precise and ‘boxed’ cut around the characters. So although both are 3D in their appearance, 4D plates offer a completely different style.
