The following sequence roughly demonstrates how plates in British Columbia are produced.
A sheet of aluminum is run through an acid bath, after which reflective tape is applied and the sheet is cut into smaller lengths. Holes are then punched into the lengths in addition to the decal box located in the bottom-center.
Colours are then applied, with the Beautiful British Columbia slogan at the top, to the tri-colours of the Flag Graphic in the middle. The red, blue and yellow are all applied in separate steps.
Numerals are then punched into the plates, they are painted, put through a varnish tank, dried and baked in oven for about ten minuets, cooled and packed in plastic bags.
