Buy Bulk
Buy license plates in bulk for décor, craft projects, and resale. Our bulk lots range in condition from roadkill condition, craft condition, and good condition. We also have several options based on the age of plates, as well as some rustic options. After all, we love rustic plates!
We pull from an inventory of over a hundred thousand plates. If you are looking for a larger order than what you see listed or have a specific project in mind, send us an email at tags@rusticplates.com. Popular uses include license plate maps and stars, commercial wall décor, wholesale resale packs, and theater and restaurant decoration. Need precut pieces instead? See our precut letters and numbers. Have pallets or collections to move? We buy license plates too.
While we absolutely love rare and hard to come by license plates, the vast majority of license plates are pretty common, and bulk is our specialty. It brings us joy to see plates avoid the landfill and instead find a new home in collections, bars and restaurants, antique and tourist shops, and used in so many creative ways.
Frequently Asked Questions
What condition are bulk license plates in?
Bulk lots are graded, from weathered craft-condition plates that are ideal for cutting and rustic projects up to good-condition plates that display well as-is. Every listing states the grade.
Can you build a custom lot by state, color, or era?
Yes. We pull from tens of thousands of plates, so we can assemble custom lots by state, color, era, or condition. Email tags@rusticplates.com with what you need.
Do you offer wholesale for resale?
Yes. Mixed-state wholesale packs are a staple for antique shops, tourist shops, and other resellers, and repeat orders are easy to arrange.
Are bulk plates real license plates?
Yes. Every plate in every lot is an authentic, expired original. Bulk pricing changes the quantity, never the authenticity.
How are large lots packed and shipped?
Plates are packed securely for weight, using recycled and reused materials wherever possible, and ship from Tacoma, Washington.
