A custom house number plate in Malaysia usually costs from about RM20 for an acrylic plate, RM30–RM130 for stainless steel, around RM80 for solid wood, and RM70–RM130 for a solar-powered LED plate. If you only need the digits, individual stick-on numbers start from roughly RM1.20 each. Almost every plate is made to your exact number, size, font and colour, ships in about 2–5 working days, and can be fixed with strong outdoor tape or screws.
These are the exact questions homeowners ask us every week — how much is it, does it come with a light, will it fit my pillar, and how do I order? This guide answers all of them in one place so you can choose and customise with confidence.
How much does a house number plate cost in Malaysia?
Price depends mostly on the material, the size and whether you add lighting. Here are typical UMAKE price ranges for 2026:
| Type | Typical price (2026) |
|---|---|
| Stick-on acrylic digits (per digit) | from RM1.20 |
| Stainless steel digits / letters (per piece) | RM4.90 – RM24.90 |
| Custom acrylic plate (one piece) | RM20 – RM80 |
| Stainless steel plate (3D / laser-cut) | RM30 – RM130 |
| Solid wood plate | from ~RM80 |
| Solar LED plate (light included) | RM70 – RM130 |
| Add-on solar lamp or LED kit for a plate | RM10 – RM80 |
These are starting guides. Your final price is set once we know the exact size, material and design — so the quickest way to a firm number is to send us your details for a quote.
What changes the price
- Size — a larger plate or taller digits use more material and cost more.
- Material — acrylic is the most affordable, stainless steel 304 sits at the premium end, with wood in between.
- 3D vs flat — raised, box-up or layered 3D numbers cost more than flat printed or engraved ones.
- Lighting — a built-in solar panel and LEDs add to the price but need no wiring.
- Finish and colour — mirror gold, rose gold, black matte and two-tone finishes can affect the price.
Acrylic vs stainless steel vs wood vs solar LED
The best material depends on your home's look, your budget and how exposed the plate will be to sun and rain:

- Acrylic — affordable, available in many colours, and great for modern minimalist looks. See our minimalist 3D acrylic house number plate.
- Stainless steel 304 — premium and rust-resistant, ideal for full outdoor exposure. See the 3D modern stainless steel plate.
- Solid wood — a warm, natural finish that suits landed homes and homestays. See the outdoor solid wood house number plate.
- Solar LED — lights up at night with no wiring, perfect for dark gates. More on this below.
If your gate is dark but you would rather avoid any lighting cost, a glow-in-the-dark plate is a cheaper way to stay visible at night.

Do house number plates come with a solar light or LED?
This is the single most common question we get, so here is the clear answer: a standard acrylic or steel plate does not include a light. If you want it lit at night, you have three options:
- Full solar LED plate — comes with a built-in solar panel and LEDs that charge in daylight and glow at night, with no wiring and no electricity bill. This is the most popular choice. See the solar LED house number plate.
- Wired LED module kit — the brightest option, powered from a nearby socket. Best if you already have an outdoor power point. See the waterproof LED module kit.
- Add-on solar lamp — a small solar light you attach to an existing plate, from RM9.90. See the solar lamp for house number plates.
Custom sizes — will it fit my gate or pillar?
Yes. Because every plate is made to order, we size it to your space. A common standard width is around 18cm to 30cm, but we regularly scale plates down to fit a 300mm gate pillar or up for a larger wall.
- Measure first — tell us the width of your pillar, gate post or wall panel and we match the plate to it.
- Digits only — if you just want stick-on numbers, choose the digit height (for example 65mm, 100mm or 150mm).
- Send a photo — a quick photo of where it will go helps us recommend the right size and layout.
Custom design, fonts and colours
You are not limited to a fixed catalogue design. We can produce your own layout and match the look of your home:
- Colours — rose gold, black matte, mirror gold, silver, white and two-tone combinations.
- Your own design — send us a reference or sketch and we will recreate it.
- Script — Latin numerals, Jawi, Chinese characters (including Tamil and Hindu motifs) or a mix.
We always send a design proof for your approval before we start production, so you can see exactly how it will look.
How to mount it: tape or screws?
There are two ways to fix a house number plate, and we supply the hardware for both:
- Outdoor double-sided tape — no drilling, clean and quick, ideal for smooth gates, tiles and rendered walls.
- Screws / standoffs — the most secure option for rough brick, stone or textured pillars.
Not sure which suits your wall? Our step-by-step house number plate installation guide walks through both methods.
