We blog often about how important it is to differentiate your name plate, trim piece, or functional component within your product design. To have it be the leading star and not a bit player. When you do this, you can exponentially increase your chances of your product standing out in the crowd, your target consumer noticing, and ultimately your product being chosen. This begs the question, “How do I differentiate my logo or other decorative elements?” While there are so many ways to answer that question, the focus of this blog is all about finishing! Below we highlight some of our tried and true finishing options that have helped global market leaders propel their brands forward since 1946.
PLATING & PVD
Nothing says sophistication quite like a gold plated logo or rose gold PVD trim piece. Polished and satin chromes, golds, gun metals, and shades of black are classic finishes and timeless for a reason. They can elevate your overall product design simply because they convey a perception of elegance, high-quality, and luxury. Consider incorporating plating & PVD within our electroform, metal letters, low profile electroform, and stainless steel product lines as these looks never go out of style. Plating is available within our zinc offering as well.
PAINTING
It seems so “plain” but paint is anything but. Our paint options can help tell your brand story perfectly. We offer metallic paints as well as transparent, opaque, various levels of gloss, and matte finishes. If you’re looking for a matte blue emblem to contrast with the glossy finish on your product housing, our paint capabilities can meet your needs. You name it, we’ve got it. Colors achieved via paint, whether printed or sprayed, can be custom matched to any color needed. In addition to all the colors of the rainbow, we also have paint systems that achieve an iridescent and color shifting look as well as shimmer paints that create incredible reflectivity. Our iridescent and shimmer finishes are perfect for eyewear and cosmetics where having options for the end consumer hold an even higher value.
ANODIZING
When it comes to a true metallic finish, anodizing sets the bar pretty high. When a part is anodized, the resulting aesthetic is both metallic and durable. What makes anodizing even cooler is our ability to match any color desired. Anodizing is available on our aluminum product line. When paired with a selectively brushed name plate or embossed trim piece, this finishing option can really elevate your product design to the next level.
