All sources (logo, layout) are accepted only in vectors, in formats: Adobe Illustrator (eps, ai), or in pdf.
If your designer independently develops the layout of the future product, he must receive advice from the manufacturer on technological limitations. The main restrictions include the minimum radii of the contours of the icon contour, the minimum thickness of the metal line separating enamels, and some others.
The main thickness of the lines:
the thickness of the protruding line must be not less than 0.3 mm, depressed not less than 0.2 mm, the thickness of the external side is not less than 0.4 mm. This information will allow you to accurately express your idea in the product.
Depending on the image, circulation, budget, customer requirements, our company uses three main technologies for the production of metal Pins:
Photo engraving (etching) is the most basic and widespread method of making icons with a flat two-dimensional relief image (2 D). The advantages of this technology, high accuracy of the transfer lines of the figure - the sketch, the speed of the order, not a high price for small and medium editions. The recommended circulation from 100 pieces.
The process of making Pins by etching:
The photo-image is transferred to the metal with the applied photosensitive layer, manifested and subjected to chemical treatment. The acid dissolves the metal unprotected by the emulsion to the required depth, forming indentations into which the enamels will be applied. After the metal blanks have acquired relief, icons of the required shape are cut out from a special press. Then the blanks are covered with a thin layer of decorative coating by electroplating gold, nickel, copper plating. After, the badges are painted with cold colored enamels, then, the surface of the badge can be coated with epoxy resins (polymer resin - lens).
Stamping (Embossing) is a classic way of making Pins. The stamping technology allows to transmit a three-dimensional relief image with a strongly pronounced relief and volume (3D). This technology is used, with runs of 2000 pieces and more, the use of stamping with small runs is not advisable, because of the high cost of manufacturing 3 D models, a set of snap-ins and deadlines.
The process of making Pins by stamping:
The engraver manufactures a master model, on the basis of which the tooling is done: a stamp (molding matrix) and a die stamp. After quenching, the molding matrix is placed on the hammered press and on it, with a force of about 100 tons, the Pins are made of soft metals (copper alloys). The minted Pins on the scraper press are cut down along the contour and a hairpin is attached to them. Then decorative electroplating is applied: gold, nickel, copper. After electroplating, colored enamels are applied to the resulting depressions.
Milling is a three-dimensional engraving method. Milling allows you to make clear geometric shapes, transfer the volume and relief comparable to stamping - chasing. This technology is applied when it is necessary to manufacture small runs of Pins 1–100 pieces with a three dimensional relief 3 D image.
The essence of the method lies in the fact that with the help of special computer programs an exact drawing of the product is made, both in a two-dimensional plane and in volume. Then the image is transferred to a three-dimensional milling software machine, which cuts out the Pins.
Since for the production of Pins, copper alloys (copper, brass) are mainly used, which oxidize with the action of oxygen, the metal must be protected. For this purpose, various types of decorative electroplating coatings are used: nickel plating, gilding, silver plating, copper plating, chrome plating, coating not only protects, but allows you to make original, bright metal badges, the surface of which can have a shiny, matte, antique - antique look of products.
The main coatings used on the icons by our company are: gold, nickel, matte nickel, black nickel (bluing effect), copper plating, chrome. Antique coatings: blackening on brass, copper:
Galvanic coatings on metal products are a thin layer of another metal that has anti-corrosion properties, weather resistance and good aesthetic data (for example, nickel, chromium, gold). The thickness of such a coating can be from fractions of microns to tenths of mm.
Color enamels:
In order to make metal badges more vivid and attractive, we use colored enamels and varnishes in the production of badges, which allow us to obtain various effects in the badges: badges with transparent and translucent enamels, varnishes; badges with enamels and pearl effect.
Enamel is applied to the depressions of the badge, manually with a special syringe. This is a time-consuming process that requires an enamel work experience and specific knowledge. After applying the product with enamels undergoes heat treatment at a temperature of 70-90 degrees
Important! each computer screen displays the color differently, to get the most accurate color, you must specify the color according to Pantone C, preferably in the process of preparing the icon layout, color matching with the manufacturer, and even better align the enamels on the signal samples of the enamels possess some transparency and on metal, their color can differ from color on paper or other carrier.
In this section, the main accessories for icons used for our products are presented.
All applied accessories for badges, meet European standards of quality and safety, ensure the reliability of fastening and long service life of products.
For our manufactured products, for icons, we offer all sorts of packaging: plastic transparent cases for badges, velvet cases for badges, velvet bags for badges, flyer with advertising, logo in the package with euro suspension for icons:

The designer performs a 3D model - a mock-up of the icon, then, the engraver makes a master model, on the basis of which the equipment is made: a stamp (molding matrix) and a die stamp. After quenching, the molding matrix is placed on the embossed press and on it, with a force of about 100 tons, stamped badges of soft metals (copper alloys). The minted badges on the die-cut press are cut down along the contour and a hairpin is attached to them. Then a galvanic decorative coating is applied: gold, silver, nickel, copper-plating, and after coatings colored enamels and varnishes are applied to the resulting depressions of the badge.
