About

You deal with the maker, not a helpdesk

Aircraft & Design is a one-person workshop in Eindhoven — which is exactly why it works. Every order goes through the same hands, from first message to delivery.

Who I am

Ten years of markings, from business jets to the A380

Hi, I'm Rens Jacobs — a graphic professional from Eindhoven with over ten years of hands-on experience in technical markings and decal installation.

I produce interior and exterior placards and technical markings on a Gerber Edge FX thermal transfer printer. For interior use I work with Gerber LexEdge™ FR65, a certified fire-resistant material compliant with EASA CS 25.853(a). Exterior applications get high-performance 3M vinyl that resists UV, fuel exposure and severe weather.

Send me a photo and the dimensions — I'll replicate the placard exactly, with a Certificate of Conformance included. Installation is carried out by your own Part 145 organisation.

The workshop

Small shop, serious standards

Certified materials, documented processes and equipment chosen for aviation work — not adapted to it afterwards.

Gerber Edge FX

Thermal transfer printing fuses ink into the material, giving markings that stay sharp under abrasion, fluids and temperature changes — with no drying time.

Certified materials only

Gerber LexEdge™ FR65 for interiors (EASA CS 25.853(a), UL94V-0) and high-performance 3M vinyl for exteriors. No substitutions, ever.

Traceability by default

Every delivery includes a Certificate of Conformance with batch numbers, referencing EASA 21.A.307(b)(2), 21.A.804, CS 25.853(a) and UL94V-0.

Clear responsibilities

Products are delivered without EASA Form 1. Installation and airworthiness assessment remain with your qualified Part 145 installer — as they should.

Let's get your placard sorted

One photo, two measurements — that's all it takes to get started.
