Imitation enamel

Process index: ★★★★

Raw materials: copper, iron

Color material: resin

The texture and color of imitation enamel can be similar to real enamel, but the price is favorable and the delivery time is short.

The surface can be gold-plated, nickel-plated, etc. Various metal colors, smooth and delicate, giving a very noble feeling, suitable for exquisite products such as high-end badge customization, medium-to-high-end medal production, and commemorative medals.

Copper paint

Process Index: ★★★

Raw material: Copper

Color material: paint

The production process of copper baking enamel is similar to enamel and soft enamel. The only difference is the use of baking varnish. The surface of the product has a noticeable unevenness. The metal texture is strong, the lines are clear and clear. Commemorative coins, keychains, corporate and community commemorative collection badges.

Iron paint

Raw material: iron

Color material: paint

Iron paint is cheaper than copper paint. The quality is slightly weaker, the concave metal lines are lighter, and the color is significantly lower than the metal wires. There are choices of Gabriel (drop glue) and non-Gabriel. , Bad quality badges, medals, souvenirs, key rings, etc.

Metal is not colored

Process Index: ★★

Raw materials: red copper, bronze, iron, aluminum

Metal is not a color. It is a process that does not enter the color. It mainly shows strong three-dimensional feeling, various patterns and layers are prominent, and various plating colors are obvious. The bumps and bright fog of the product are more obvious. Suitable for high-end, high-volume badges, medals, commemorative coins, key rings and other products that use more.

Bite version

Process Index: ★★★

Raw materials: copper, stainless iron, aluminum

Color material: paint

The bite version uses chemical potions to corrode the raw materials to produce a concave pattern. The color is the same and the same quality as the copper baking paint. The product is very thin with a wide metal edge. Can do bite-through or double-sided bite design, but it needs a certain thickness. It is suitable for making numbers, work numbers, names, nameplates, badges that need to be bent, tags, large size and complicated pattern lines.

Screen printing

Process Index: ★★★

Raw materials: copper, stainless iron, aluminum

Color material: printing ink

Screen printing is made by printing plate made by film. There are no metal lines on the surface, and there is no metal line between the colors. There is no gradual color effect.

It is cheaper than the copper press cutting process, and the three-dimensional effect is more prominent. Suitable for products with detailed patterns, protruding 3D effects, hollow badges and key rings in the inner hole.

Lead-tin alloy

Process Index: ★★★

Raw material: lead-tin alloy

Color material: paint, enamel

Lead-tin alloys are molded using the principle of centrifugal force. Lead-tin alloys that are small in size, have a large number of internal holes, and have a strong 3D solid appearance are particularly attractive. When making soft enamel, you can paint by hand and color, and the product has bright color. When the paint enters and does not enter the color, the product has distinct bumps and strong lines.
