Enamel, Varnishing & Plating
Electroplating is the process of coating a durable but inexpensive metal like copper with a thin layer of a more precious metal like gold or silver using electricity. The most famous example of electroplated awards are Olympic medals. Contrary to popular belief, they are not solid gold or silver. They are all bronze, with the first and second-place medals electroplated in gold or silver. This same principle is applied to awards, trophies and other commemorative keepsakes given out by companies and organizations across the country.
Electroplated Metallic Finishes
Electroplated metallic finishes involve applying a thin layer of metal, such as gold, silver, or chrome, onto the surface of an object to enhance its appearance, durability, and resistance to corrosion, resulting in a polished and elegant finish.
Enamel Color Filling
Enamel color filling is a process where colored enamel is applied into recessed areas of a metal surface, then cured to create vibrant, long-lasting designs with a smooth, glossy finish, often used for decorative purposes on pins, badges, and jewelry.
Varnishing
Varnishing is a protective finishing process where a transparent, hard coating is applied to surfaces like wood, metal, or paper, enhancing the material’s durability and appearance by adding a glossy or matte sheen while protecting it from environmental damage.
