UNSPSC 45101902: Platemakers

UNSPSC 45101902 Platemakers is a Commodity code that covers the fabrication and production of printing plates used in offset, flexographic, gravure, and screen-printing operations. State and local governments buy this service when they need custom printing plates for in-house publications, licensing documents, educational materials, vehicle decals, and official forms and signage. Platemakers produce metal, polymer, and elastomer plates from digital files or existing artwork, and typically deliver finished plates ready for press setup. The code serves state printing offices, correctional facilities that operate internal print shops, school districts with graphic arts programs, municipal transportation authorities producing vehicle identification and regulatory signage, and specialized state agencies such as driver's license bureaus that require high-volume plate production for security documents and credentials.
