What are the types of metal signs

The most common type of signage is metal signage. The material of metal signage is easy to obtain, with more choices, and the production price is relatively moderate. It can adapt well to various indoor and outdoor usage environments, and has a long usage time. Whether it is used as the main material or carrier of signage, the cost performance is relatively high. With the increasing demand for metal signage, the production process is also gradually developing. As a manufacturer of customized metal signage, briefly introduce some relevant process technologies.

1. Corrosion labels.

Corrosion signage is a traditional type of signage. Although it is a traditional signage, there is a high demand from customers, and the corrosion process is also optimized and very mature. The production of corrosion signage can be divided into three types: concave, convex, and a combination of convex and concave signage. It requires the production of electronic files, film production, and the application of photosensitive blue oil spray, photosensitive operation, development, and pasting of anti-corrosion film After being placed at a constant temperature and corroded by corrosive solution, text and graphics can be formed, which can meet the fine requirements of clear pattern lines, flat bottom, saturated color, and even wire drawing. The copper labels used for mechanical and electrical products in harsh industrial environments, as well as the ceramic oxide and paint labels and high gloss labels used for surface decoration of instruments and electronic instruments, all belong to labels made through corrosion processes.

2. Engraved signs.

Carving signs is a new process that has a strong sense of three-dimensional effect, especially three-dimensional carving signs that are more beautiful. Commonly used are bicolor engraved signs and panels, as well as organic glass 3D engraved signs. There are also laser engraving marks and cutting metal plates, plastic plates with text and graphics to make signs, all of which have good effects.

3. Stacking gold signs.

Stacked gold signs are commonly known as electroplated electroformed signs. They are printed on bright stainless steel plates or brushed stainless steel plates with a large area of light imaging corrosion-resistant and electroplated ink, and then printed and developed on a negative to create hollow word edges and lace patterns. The underlying layer of the uncovered area is treated with thickened nickel plating and surface gold plating to create a stacked gold medal, Then remove the protective layer with caustic soda to expose the golden hollow character edge, lace, and large area of stainless steel bottom layer. Only manually paint the hollow characters to complete the production. The gold pile sign looks very high-end and atmospheric, with common examples such as gold pile medals, used to recognize outstanding individuals, enterprises, institutions, or social groups who have achieved outstanding results or made contributions to society.

4. Heat transfer label.

Heat transfer label is a specialized panel generated by surface treatment of metal plates, and then the designed color images are inkjet printed onto the transfer paper. The label is then reversed onto the metal plate by heating and made. The heat transfer label has the characteristics of fast transfer process and simple method, and solves the technical problem of not being able to directly print on small or complex surfaces using screen printing method.

5. Screen printed signage.

Silk screen signage refers to the use of resin ink, which is screen printed on the surface of the board after treatment such as oil removal, sandblasting, wire drawing, polishing, oxidation sealing, etc., and then subjected to processes such as light preservation and film covering to produce various exquisite colored silk screen metal signage. The label products produced by silk printing technology have the advantages of beautiful appearance, no obvious scratches on the surface, and high efficiency, gradually becoming popular among most buyers.

6. Flat label.

Flat sun signage is a type of metal signage or nameplate that uses photosensitive plate making to dissolve different colors into the adhesive film, so that the text and pattern are displayed on the metal plate through the development method, achieving the purpose of having explanatory significance. It is generally used for indoor supplies, small household appliances, and equipment not affected by harsh weather. Its advantages are simple plate making process, fast speed, and low defect rate; The disadvantage is that outdoor signage cannot be used, as it can easily fade after exposure to sunlight and rain.

Metal tags can be customized as identification products to convey specific information to users, or can be combined with embedded technology as a carrier to transmit more implementation information to users through interactive display. This is metal smart tags. The combination of new technologies will bring more cost-effective information display methods to consumers and enterprises. We believe that with the development of the economy and people's daily needs, Metal signs have more possibilities.
