3m makes command hooks that are small and clear. I put two on the bottom and then two upside down and slide them in and it holds them nicely.

Hey guys,

This is an old thread but I wanted to give you maybe some new inspiration on displaying locker nameplates. I can't take all the credit for this, because I know I saw someone else do something similar, I just can't remember who or where I saw it.

I recently got a Freddie Freeman nameplate and couldn't decide how to display it. I looked around a little bit and thought that this would work beautifully and I'm super happy with the way it turned out!

I got an 11x14 action shot of Freddie, then got an 18x24 movie poster sized frame. I placed the nameplate in the frame, and the 11x14 just above it. I just got it up on my wall and I think it looks really slick.

Obviously due to the wall space it takes up, you couldn't do this with every nameplate. But it works great for a special piece of your favorite player!

What do you guys think? How do you display nameplates?

I work at trade shows often and I will make a trade often times with the velcro rep , i have probably $75 worth of unopened velcro still, if anyone wants some, let me know.

I always use velcro for hanging locker plates

Re: Locker Name Plates - Display Help

I used double stick tape to apply the nameplate to the inside of my jersey case.

Re: Locker Name Plates - Display Help

I got a frame from walmart that looked like this http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ct_id=10404215 Took the mat board that came with the frame and the locker room name plate to Hobby Lobby. I picked out the color of the mat board I wanted and then they cut it down to the same size of the mat board I came in with. They measured the name plate, and the area that it was going to fit into, then cut it. That was it. I came home and slapped some clear tape to hold it to the mat board and in the frame it went.

Re: Locker Name Plates - Display Help

I have an old nameplate (thanks to Bill Haelig) that is starting to bow (it is made of that sturdy fiber board material). Do you think this tape is strong enough to keep this type of thing flat over time, or should I be getting this into something else?

Scott it must be a large nameplate if it's bowing. You may need to use several strips of tape to prevent it from bowing like 1 on each end and 1-2 strips in the middle depending on how long it is. If this doesn't work I think your best bet may be putting it into a frame so it stays flat.

The plate I had was small enough where i only need to use tape on either end.

Re: Locker Name Plates - Display Help

I use 3M double sided thick tape. It's about 1/8 of an inch thick and makes the plate stick out when you display it instead of flush against the wall.

The tape comes off easily if you want to move the plate so it won't damage or leave residue on the back of the plate.

Re: Locker Name Plates - Display Help

About 15 years ago I had a plastics person custom make an acrylic clear display for a plate I won at an auction. He cut out a 1/4" thick rectangular insert so that the nameplate could fit in there with a clear border. The he basically drilled 4 holes at the corners and sandwiched it together.
It's very heavy but looks great.

I was able to fit these locker room tags into a 8X10 photo frame.
