Tennants UK Print Pro software is designed for number plate printing to global specifications. Following recent systems introduced into France, Spain, Mauritius, New Zealand & The Gambia.


We have recently introduced our "Business in a Box" number plate printing system into Senegal.


The current car registration design in Senegal is on a bright blue number plate with white lettering. The format of the number plate is LL-DDDD-L, with the ‘L’ denoting a letter and the ‘D’ denoting a digit. The first two letters of the number plate identify the region the vehicle was registered in. The previous series of car registrations were on a darker blue number plate with a different format. This is just another example of our unrivaled flexible design software.
