If we played word association with the average person and asked them to name the first word they think upon hearing “stainless steel,” they might say “metal” or “industrial.” We’re guessing most people won’t say “awesome,” but that’s exactly what we think when we talk about it!
We love the materials we work with and are excited to share their attributes. Continue reading to find out just how much stainless steel has to offer!
1) Stainless Steel Shines with Subtly
Looking for super sleek aesthetics? Stainless steel is the ideal solution for showcasing contrast with minimal surface level changes achieved through etching. Chemical etching offers depth changes with intricate detailing. Laser etching is perfect to achieve a tonal aesthetic with microscopic depth changes invisible to the naked eye. Regardless of what your product design calls for, varying surface level changes truly shine in stainless steel.
2) Stainless Steel is Like a Little Black Dress
Stainless steel is timeless and classic, just like the little black dress found in closets around the world. Did you know stainless steel can be processed in a multitude of ways? Formed, embossed, laser etched, and chemically etched are just a few of the ways we work with stainless steel. Depending on your part design, tolerance requirements, and assembly to your housing, we work with your designers and engineers to recommend the right processing solution for your branding and trim to meet your needs.
3) Form Meets Function with Stainless Steel
Imagine if you could enhance the tiny portholes and industrial vents that are necessary to your product design for proper air flow or audio porting. Utilize stainless steel to celebrate those functional components and integrate them into the design rather than hide them. Our fully-etched-through holes and patterns make ordinary functional components look beautiful, and our forming capabilities are used to decorate covers and trim pieces meant to camouflage the inner-workings of products.
4) Stainless Steel is Versatile
Available in varying thicknesses across multiple grades like 304 and 430 as well as brushed, standard and high-polished finishes, stainless steel is incredibly versatile and durable. Stainless steel name plates and trim blend contemporary design with classic quality, so they’re a great match for the appliance, electronics, and golf industries. Not many materials can withstand the heat of the interior of a dishwasher, but stainless steel doesn’t even flinch!
5) Stainless Steel is Authentically Metal
Truth in materials is something many consumers look for when making purchase decisions. Stainless steel is long-known for its attractive appearance, but it’s also incredibly corrosion-resistant, helping to keep the integrity of the base material in balance. We are able to decorate stainless steel with a variety of metallic finishes and painted options. Differentiate your brand in the marketplace place without compromising your authenticity.
