Steps for making electroplating labels

‌Electroplating process‌: The production of electroplating labels first requires the selection of a suitable substrate, such as metals such as copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, zinc alloy, or plastics such as polypropylene, polysulfone, and polycarbonate. Then, electroplating is performed on the surface of the substrate. Commonly used metals include copper, zinc, nickel, chromium, gold, and silver. ‌

Electroplating type‌: electroplating labels can be processed and produced by hanging plating, rolling plating, continuous plating, brush plating, and vacuum UV plating. These methods can be selected according to specific needs to achieve different surface effects and functions. ‌ 

Surface treatment: The surface treatment of electroplating labels can form various colors and effects, such as real gold plating, imitation gold, titanium plating, bronze plating, antique copper plating, red copper plating, hard chrome plating, matte chrome plating, sand nickel plating, bright nickel plating, black nickel plating, pearl nickel plating, gun black, white steel plating, bright silver plating, trivalent chromium zinc plating, etc.

Purposes and features of electroplating labels

Electroplating labels are widely used in various fields due to their good surface gloss, strong three-dimensional sense, strong corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and good conductivity. Common application scenarios include:

Industrial products: auto parts, electrical appliances, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, etc.

Household items: sanitary ware, furniture, office supplies, etc.

Decorations: gift boxes, moon cake boxes, wine boxes, tea boxes, etc.

Other features of electroplating labels

High gloss: After electroplating, the surface gloss is significantly improved and the appearance is more beautiful.

Strong corrosion resistance: The electroplating layer can effectively prevent the substrate from being corroded and extend the service life. ‌Good wear resistance‌: The electroplating layer can enhance the wear resistance of the sign and maintain the durability of its appearance‌.

In summary, electroplating labels have been widely used in many fields due to their unique production process and excellent performance.
