Some of the more commonly used metals are:  Stainless Steel Brass Aluminum Copper Etch & Fill: The surface of the metal is chemically etched, and the etched area is filled with baked enamel to provide coloured copy or background. The metal can also be etched and finished without the fill (matte etch) if desired. Brass, Aluminum, and Copper are usually given a protective coat of lacquer to prevent oxidation of the metal. The Etch & Fill method represents the premier form of nameplate production. Anodizing: Applicable to aluminum only. The aluminum is chemically treated to open the pores of the metal, at which time an anodyne dye is printed on the metal. This dye actually penetrates the surface of the metal, and is then sealed into the aluminum in a chemical bath. This produces a very weather-resistant plate that will give many years of service in outdoor environments. Screen Printed: The metal is screen printed using baked epoxy or enamel paints. This method is quite often used in conjunction with Etch & Fill when multiple colours are required. This method also produces a very durable weather-resistant finish.Fabrication: Once the metals are printed, any number of machining operations can be performed to produce a product which fulfills all your requirements. Holes, round cornering, die cutting to custom shapes, bending, enbossing/debossing, forming, and sequential numbering are some of the finishing steps which can be performed. A vast selection of adhesives to match your application requirements can be applied to the nameplates. Click here to visit our sample gallery. Some of the more commonly used plastics are: HIPS (High-Impact Polystyrene) LEXAN Vinyl PET-G HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) Acrylic Screen Printed: The material is screen printed using vinyl or UV inks. Spot colours or 4-colour process colours can be surface or sub-surface printed. Screen printing offers more durable inks than either flexography or lithography. Lithography: Can be used for larger runs of 4-colour process or spot colour printing. This process provides superior graphic detail, but the inks are not as outdoor durable as the inks used in screen printing.Fabrication: Once the plastics are printed, there are many fabrication operations which can be performed to produce your finished product. Holes, round cornering, die cutting to custom shapes, bending, enbossing/debossing, forming, and sequential numbering are some of the more common finishing steps. A wide range of adhesive options are available to fulfill your application requirements. Click here to visit our sample gallery. Some of the more commonly used Decal materials are: Vinyl Mylar LEXAN Polyester Foils Screen Printed: The material is screen printed using vinyl or UV inks. Spot colours or 4-colour process colours can be surface or sub-surface printed. Screen printing offers more durable inks than either flexography or lithography. Lithography: Used for larger runs of 4-colour process decals. This process provides excellent graphic detail.Finishing: Once the materials are printed, a number of finishing operations can be performed to produce a custom product which perfectly suits your graphic and application specifications. Round cornering, die cutting to custom shapes, enbossing/debossing, and sequential numbering, and are some of the finishing steps which can be performed. A vast selection of adhesives to suit any purpose can be applied to the decals. Click here to visit our sample gallery. (PCM; Photo Chemical Machining) One of the major advantages of Chemical Milling is the elimination of the need for custom tooling to produce a part. For prototyping or production, an engineering drawing is all that is required. No expensive tooling needs to be built. This considerably cuts both the price and lead times for small precision parts.
