I need 350 numbered bar-mounted race plates for an upcoming event. Has anyone any suppliers they’ve been happy with in the past?

Essentially all the board needs is the number, but room for further stickers is a bonus. If printed branding is also available it would be beneficial, but certainly not essential.

Suggestions please!

Get in touch with BC – they might be able to provide them for you, and if not, they’d probably be able to point you in the right direction.

These guys have done plates for PORC and other events locally

We always used a place called Stacys of Chelmsford:

They do a whole range of number boards, event signage etc with colours, logos, sponsor etc on them as well if necessary.
Edit: they don’t have the best website in the world but it’s top notch service and the product has always been great.

For the Big Bike Bash we printed a load of A5 number plates and then laminated them ourselves.

They last fine. You can design them to be as simple or complex as you like. You can personalise them so RubeboyFred gets 666 whilst the lovely Pearl gets one with feathers and glittery bits inside the lamination.

Not difficult, quite cheap, a bit boring while laminating.

Wicked.

Thanks all. Certainly a few options to be getting on with.
