how to make custom name plates| WEIHUA


Customized means tailor-made for individual customers. The custom nameplate is a sign specially made according to the requirements of an individual/individual/independent customer, and the sign only belongs to and used by this customer.

Speaking of custom signs, we are a metal nameplate manufacturers with very rich experience in this industry. We have 27 years of manufacturing experience in this industry, customizing more than 10,000+ hardware signs for 800+ customers. Among them, brand signage accounts for 97.8%, and other niche brands account for 2.2%. We’re a very powerful and trustworthy nameplate company.

And what we do best is custom aluminum signage and stainless steel signage.

Here we focus on how to make custom stainless steel nameplates.

The first is the selection of materials. With such a variety of stainless steel materials, it is particularly important to choose a brand logo that suits you. The quality of the material selection directly involves the subsequent quality of the sign and whether it is beautiful in appearance or not.

Commonly used stainless steel sheets are divided into two types: 201 and 304

201 stainless steel has certain acid and alkali resistance, and has the advantages of no bubbles and no pinholes in polishing. It is mainly used for various decorative pipes, industrial pipes and some shallow-stretched products.

304 stainless steel, high temperature resistance of 800 ℃, has good corrosion resistance and good forming performance, very suitable for Seiko characters, high-end boutique signs/brands, etc., can be used outdoors for more than 10 years.

Therefore, most companies prefer to use 304 stainless steel to make their machinery logos and equipment signs, car nameplates, house tags, office badges and other signs. The surface of the sign made of this stainless steel is as smooth as a mirror, which is very atmospheric and beautiful.

The second is the process requirements. Generally speaking, brushed stainless steel and bright stainless steel can be made.

The brushed stainless steel is divided into several surface effects such as straight wire grain, snow pattern and nylon grain. This kind of stainless steel is more wear-resistant than bright stainless steel, and it looks more high-end.

Bright stainless steel only means that the stainless steel is very bright, generally use 6K, or 8K material, unless other customers will request for higher requirements will reach 12K.

Finally, select the suitable process requirements:

Brushing process

Surface brushing treatment is a surface treatment method that forms lines on the surface of the workpiece by grinding the product, which has a decorative effect. The brushing treatment can make the metal surface obtain a non-mirror-like metallic luster.

Etching process

The etching process is used to corrode the surface of the metal sheet with chemical potions to form a texture with a concave and convex feeling.

Electroplating process

Electroplating Process Electroplating is the process of plating a thin layer of other metals or alloys on some metal surfaces using the principle of electrolysis. Electroplating can enhance the corrosion resistance of metals, improve electrical conductivity, lubricity, heat resistance, and surface aesthetics.

Therefore, if need to make stainless steel etched sign, it will needs to go through stainless steel plate → degreasing → water washing → drying → screen printing → drying → water immersion → etching pattern leaf washing → deinking → polishing → water washing → coloring → hardening treatment → sealing Process → Inspect these processes to complete the sign manufacturing.
