Our laser jig laminator utilises guide rails for correct alignment to reduce misalignment that can occur during lamination, when using traditional boards. Available for both MetaTek and Acrylic number plates.
The special ‘H’ bar creates a point of pressure on the reflective/film media during lamination aiding in the reduction of air bubbles.
Unique 2 way communication between the printer and software - This allows the software to show status and fault diagnostics for the printer.
Impossible to create illegal number plates - Automatic character spacing, alignment and layout, guarantee that the plate you make is 100% legal and compliant.
Duplicate plate notifications - When you print a registration more than once, the software will deliver a notification to ensure everything is in order.
Full immutable registration logging.
User account control with privilege levels for added security and auditing.
Timeout feature that logs out the current user if inactive for a specified time.
Automatic software updates.

At uGroup UK, MetaTek is our answer to a simple question: why should a road-legal number plate cost the planet? Pressed from high-grade aluminium and finished with advanced reflective technology, MetaTek aluminium number plates are our strongest, most sustainable and fully road-legal plates yet, built for dealerships, MOT centres and fleet operators who want to offer customers something better.
Whether you're supplying a single showroom or running trade accounts across multiple sites, MetaTek gives your customers a finished plate that's DVLA approved, genuinely eco-friendly, and made to a standard that reflects well on your business too.

Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.
Traditional acrylic plates crack, fade and warp. MetaTek doesn't. Every plate is pressed from a high-grade aluminium substrate, giving you a number plate that's tougher and lighter than acrylic, yet holds its finish through years of UK weather, road grit and daily wear.
If sustainability is on your customers' radar (and increasingly, it is), MetaTek gives you a real answer rather than a marketing line. Each plate is made from up to 95% recyclable material, cutting plastic use and reducing waste at every stage of production.
For dealerships working towards environmental or corporate sustainability targets, switching to MetaTek is one of the simplest changes you can make, with no compromise on performance and a cleaner supply chain.
Every MetaTek plate is manufactured to meet BS AU 145e, the British Standard that governs number plate construction and reflectivity in the UK. That means every plate you fit is DVLA approved and 100% road legal, with no grey areas for you or your customers to worry about.
No two vehicles, or customers, are quite the same, so MetaTek is available across a full range of sizes and styles, including front and rear sets, national flag options and bespoke finishes. It's a popular choice for dealerships and trade customers who want a premium presentation to match the vehicles they're selling.
If you already stock acrylic number plates, MetaTek isn't a replacement so much as a step up for customers who want more from their plate: greater durability, a lower environmental footprint, and the reassurance of aluminium construction. Many of our trade customers stock both, offering MetaTek as the premium, sustainable option alongside their standard range.
We also supply the aluminium substrates and components behind MetaTek separately, for trade customers who produce their own finished plates in-house.
