Trade Accounts

A sample board with
your name on it.

Open a Brassery trade account and design your own shop's nameplate for the top of a sample board - yours to keep, on your counter. It ships with two more plates of your own design for a real customer job. You cover $6 shipping. That is the whole cost.

Everything you need to
start selling nameplates.

We would rather put real plates in your hands than talk about them. Every approved trade account gets the same kit - built around your own shop's name, and shipped together.

Your Sample Board
Five real plates on a mounted board - polished, aged and fully-aged brass, plus silver and aged aluminum - each in a different size and shape. Across the top goes a nameplate you design, engraved with your shop's name. It is not our display, it is yours: put it on the counter, where finish and scale read honestly in a way no screen can.
Two More Nameplates
Not blanks, not demos. Two finished plates engraved to your specification - so put a real customer's job on them. Design them alongside your shop plate, exactly as you would any order.
Your Trade Account
Design and order online whenever it suits you, at the counter with a customer beside you or after hours. No fee, no minimum order, no annual commitment. Plates ship to your store.
Your board and three nameplates: no charge.
Shipping: $6.
One kit per business. Texas businesses, add applicable sales tax on the shipping.

What we need
from you.

Very little, and it takes about two minutes. We are verifying that you are a real framing business, nothing more.

1
Your Name and Your Store

Your own name, and the name of your frame shop or gallery as it trades.

2
An Email Address

A business email we can reach you at. This is where your welcome code and every order confirmation will go.

3
Your Shipping Address

Where the kit goes, and where your orders will go afterwards. A commercial address please - this is a trade account.

Texas Businesses Only: A Resale Certificate

If your shop is in Texas, we need a completed Texas Sales and Use Tax Resale Certificate on file before we can sell to you tax free. It is a one-page form, you fill it in once, and it covers every order you place with us from then on.

HOW TO COMPLETE IT

Download Form 01-339 from the Texas Comptroller. Complete the top half - the Resale Certificate section, not the Exemption Certification below it.

Enter your Texas Sales and Use Tax Permit number, list your seller as Brassery, and describe the items as nameplates for resale. Sign, date, and upload it with the form below or email it to us.

Outside Texas? Nothing is required. Skip this step entirely.

How it works.

1
Send Us Your Details

Fill in the form below, or simply write to us with the same information.

2
We Reply With Your Welcome Code

Once we have confirmed your shop, you get a short email with a single-use welcome code for your three free plates.

3
Design Your Three Plates

Everything happens right here on the site - nothing to install. Open the nameplate designer and design your shop's nameplate for the top of the board, then two more for a real customer job. Take all three through to checkout as you would any order.

Do not hold back on those two - use a live job. That is the point.

4
Enter the Code at Checkout

Type your welcome code into the discount box and press Apply. The cost of the plates comes off the total, leaving the $6 shipping to pay. Check out exactly as you would on any order.

5
We Mount It and Ship

You do not order the board itself. We see the welcome code, engrave your shop plate, mount it at the top of the board, and send the whole thing out with your other two plates in the same package.

Register your shop.

Required for Texas businesses. Upload the completed and signed form as a PDF or a clear photo. Prefer to email it? Leave this blank and send it to [email protected] - we will hold your registration until it arrives.

Or skip the form and write to [email protected] with the same details.

Short, and honest.
