Considering the metal plating color is crucial when creating personalized metal gifts. Fortunately, Jin Sheu offers a variety of 15 different metal plating colors for customers to choose from, whether they're looking for custom badges, keychains, metal coins, or any other product. The appealing metallic texture and shine are the most important factors, and a lapel pin plating chart can be a useful reference guide that outlines the various types of metal plating options available, along with their associated colors.
Metal Plating Option 1: Surface Finish Chart on metallic products
Through the process of electrolysis, the electroplating method involves depositing a thin layer of metal onto the surface of a metal object. The application of gold, nickel, silver, copper, black nickel, or dual-tone electroplating creates metallic products that all exhibit a glossy surface effect.
Metal Plating Option 2: Antique Metal Electroplating Effect
Electroplating with antique gold, antique silver, antique brass, and antique copper can give the metal product a range of shades. The protruding areas of the metal will be polished, resulting in a lighter and more lustrous electroplating color, while the recessed areas, which cannot be polished, will have a darker color.
Metal Plating Option 3: Satin Gold, Satin Silver and Satin Nickel Finishes
Metal with satin gold, satin silver and satin nickel finishes feature a matte texture with a metallic color and a non-shiny, grainy appearance, lacking a reflective surface.
Metal Plating Option 4: Enhancing Metal Texture with Sandblasting Service
Sandblasting or matte painting can produce a matte finish on recessed areas and a shiny finish on protruding areas of metal. This type of sandblasting treatment can enhance the texture of metal products, but it is important to note that sandblasting techniques are not suitable for 3D products.
Metal Plating Option 5: Textured Sand Mold (Granulated Background)
When budget is a concern, sandblasting effects may be replaced by sand mold. The sand mold is directly applied onto the mold and does not require additional costs. The mold itself has a textured surface, and the finest textures, such as the #1 sand mold in the picture, can produce the visual texture of sandblasting.
