Type of nameplate identification | CHINA MARK

In order to simplify the name plate logo, the following are called “nameplates”.

Nameplates can be classified according to the following categories according to their USES, processes and materials.

The following is the name plate maker — WEIHUA technology, together with the specific understanding:

One、Classification by use

Classification by its use is one of the most common classification methods.It directly reflects the specific use of a certain nameplate.

See table 2-1 for specific classification by purpose.

Table 2-1 classification of nameplates by use

category	Use appellation	Interpretation of the meaning
logo nameplates	The machine signs	The product mark on the mechanical equipment, indicating the name of the machine, the specification and model, the manufacturer, the date of delivery, etc.;Also included are equipment signage, signage, signage and data, usually made of metal
	Instrument panels	Instruments, meters including electronic products logo, production requirements more exquisite
	Table card	The head part of a meter, used as a sign for indicating or marking or reading
	Decoration brand	Usually based on a trademark or logo;Decorate with decorative signs
panel	The instrument panel	The appearance component on the electronic instrument is the interface of man-machine dialogue
	Operation panel	The operation instructions provided on the electrical equipment generally refer to the operation board on the large machine equipment
	kanban	Not limited to the product’s graphic interpretation of the board
nameplate logo	The signboard	The medal, the qualification card, the signboard, has the encouragement, the proof, the explicit function
	Street sign, house sign	The transmission of public information in urban and rural areas is one of the symbols of the construction of urban and rural civilization
	Traffic signs	One of the safety facilities of public transportation has the function of pointing, warning and prompting of the route, and is mainly based on legal figures
sign	Interior function card	Usually refers to the office building’s function distribution, the organization and the department’s instruction, manifests the humanization management
sign	Outdoor sign	Road signs, road signs, play a leading role

Two、Classification by process

In order to reflect the characteristics of the nameplate processing technology, it is often classified according to its obvious and main graphic processing characteristics, so as to distinguish the nameplates processed by different processes.

The contents classified by process are shown in table 2-2.

Table 2-2 nameplates according to the process classification table

Process name	Working skill points
Film dyeing	The absorbency of photosensitive film is used to dye the picture and text, which is bright and bright, but not durable, and is often used in low-value products
Oxidation dyeing	The absorbency of aluminum oxide micropores is used to dye and then close it
Etching nameplate	Show concave and convex type, have stereo feeling, durable life is long, often with copper, aluminum, stainless steel processing
Screen printing nameplate	It has wide adaptability, mostly used for plastic signage and panel, low cost and wide application
Offset printing plate	To round flat printing, text and text from the cots to the plane workpiece, text and text fine, often used for table CARDS
Pad printing nameplate	The silicone head is used to absorb the ink of text and text on gravure and transfer it to the workpiece, which is more suitable for the concave and convex changing surface
Transfer printing nameplate	The text and text are prefabricated on the transfer paper to facilitate the work on site
Electrophoresis nameplate	Deposited polar paint on exposed metal surfaces under a direct current field, often in conjunction with etching processes
Electroforming nameplate	At a high current density, the metal is deposited on the “mother type”, which is then separated from the mother type
Electroplating nameplate	The copper matrix is etched with text and text to deposit ionic metal, usually chromium, nickel, gold
Specular nameplate	Usually on the raised surface of the aluminum pressing, with the diamond knife rotary cutting, producing a high gloss effect
Crystal nameplate	Is a kind of follow-up finishing processing, with good transparency of polyurethane dripping on the surface of the nameplate workpiece, play a decorative and protective role
Enamel nameplate	Can be slightly convex, corrosion resistance, anti – Japanese light exposure ability, low cost.But fragile, the text should not be too small
EL nameplate	It’s a field emitter.An electroluminescent nameplate caused by the collision of electrons excited by an ac electric field generated by an ac voltage applied at the poles with a fluorescent substance. Its applications have been expanding since the end of the 20th century
IMD nameplate	Inlay injection molding process, with high wear resistance, high decorative, is a fashion process in the early 21st century
The casting brand	Concave – convex shape, stereoscopic, often used for heavy equipment or equipment working in corrosive medium

Three、according to the material classification

According to the type of substrate selected by the nameplate, it is easy to evaluate whether the nameplate matches the product applied, which is the basic requirement for selecting the nameplate type.The classified contents are shown in table 2-3.

Table 2-3 nameplate material classification table

The name of the material	Use way and special point
Metal nameplate	Usually with metal plate, such as aluminum, copper, stainless steel nameplate, suitable for durable products, as a sign of durability
Plastic nameplates	There are soft and hard.Soft often for the film or sheet, hard often refers to the plate.This kind of nameplate cost plastic nameplate is lower, wide application
Plastic nameplates	Graphic injection molding, suitable for large dosage of products, often combined with hot stamping process
Rubber and plastic nameplates	Soft texture, high three-dimensional shape, suitable for bags, boxes, shoes, travel supplies, etc
Fabric nameplate	Used for textile products logo, generally sublimation printing and computer weaving and embroidery
Self-adhesive nameplate	Often used for low value, consumable products of non-permanent logo, large consumption, wide field, low cost, easy to use
The glass plate	Point to the brand that makes with inorganic glass, the screen that is used at bedroom hall hall normally or adornment, except the adornment that a part is used at vitreous product outside, do not apply to the commodity of other current

The above is in accordance with the industry’s custom nameplate classification.In order to accurately and completely express the characteristics of the nameplate, it is often necessary to choose one of the above three categories and describe them together.Namely: material + craft + use.For example, “metal-etched-machine signage.”"Plastic – screen printing – panel”, so that a look (or a listen) to understand its material, process and use.
