Custom Electroplating Services for Metal Labels, Tags & Nameplates
⚡ What is Electroplating?
Electroplating is a surface finishing process where a thin layer of metal is deposited on the surface of another metal using electrical current. It’s used to enhance appearance, corrosion resistance, conductivity, or wear resistance.
In decorative and industrial products like nameplates, tags, and labels, electroplating gives a luxurious, durable, and uniform finish in a variety of colors and styles.
🏆 Benefits of Electroplating
- Improved Corrosion Resistance
- Luxurious Appearance (gold, chrome, nickel, etc.)
- Harder Surface to resist scratches and wear
- Increased Value and Perceived Quality
- Uniform, Smooth Finish for branding
