What are the techniques for making badges
Let's see what a badge is. The badge is mainly based on copper, iron, aluminum, zinc alloy, lead tin alloy and other raw materials. They are stamped, stamped, etched, printed, stamped, embossed, painted, etc.
There are dozens of different types of products, such as commemorative medals, commemorative coins, craft marks, cufflinks, photo frames, mobile phone belts, tie clips, belt heads, hanging tags, bottle openers and other craft accessories, as well as class signs. Which badge making process? Here are some of the most popular badges now: badges, imitation badges, paint badges, bite badges, printed logo badges and stamping badges. Paint badge production process characteristics paint badge bright color, bright lines, badge material texture is strong, can use copper, zinc alloy or iron as raw materials, including iron baking paint badge cheap, if you have less budget, choose this one is the most suitable! The surface of the paint badge can be coated with a layer of transparent protective resin (Boli), commonly known as "epoxy resin" (note that due to the refraction of light, the surface of the badge is bright, but the paint badge with resin will lose its concave convex feeling. Generally speaking, the process effect of the paint badge includes the sunken paint (PMS pan pool color), the raised part is gold-plated, nickel plating and other electroplating effects (please note that the prominent part is not color, only metal color). The manufacturing process characteristics of imitation Enamel Badge: the surface of imitation enamel badge is flat (as far as the paint badge is concerned, in fact, the metal ribbon on the surface of imitation enamel badge is slightly raised with fingers). Smooth surfaces are artificially polished and polished. The lines on the surface of the iridium badge can be plated with gold, silver and other metallic colors. The wire is filled with iridium.
Color milk paint. The manufacturing process of imitation enamel badge is similar to that of enamel technology (i.e. Shinji or Cloisonne). The main difference of Enamel Badge lies in the different pigments used (one is Xinhai particle pigment, the other is synthetic pigment). The corresponding price of color paste, imitation cream, badge production is also cheap. The imitation enamel technology is exquisite, the badge surface is smooth and exquisite, has a very high-grade luxury feeling, is the first choice of the badge production process. If you want to make a beautiful and high-end badge first, please choose one. Stamping badge production process characteristics stamping badge production generally uses badge material copper (copper, copper, bronze, etc.), zinc alloy, aluminum and iron can also be called metal badge. Among them, copper is the softest and most suitable for making badges. Therefore, the copper pressure badge line is the most obvious, followed by the zinc alloy badge, and the corresponding copper pressure badge is the highest price. Zinc alloy die casting process is suitable for the essence badge. Stamping badge surface can be used for a variety of electroplating effects, including gold plating, nickel plating, copper plating, bronze plating and ancient silver plating. The concave part of stamping badge can also be regarded as frosting effect.
Printing badge production process features printing badge production is divided into screen printing, lithography, sometimes also known as epoxy badge. The production of printed badges is usually in the final process, that is, the surface of the badge is covered with a transparent protective tree
Grease (Boli) protects the color. The badges used in badge printing are made of stainless steel, bronze and other materials. The copper or stainless steel surface on which the badge is printed can be electroplated, natural or brush coated. The default thickness is 0.8mm. Screen printing badge production process is mainly for simple graphics, less color, sometimes need to use the screen version of the imitation badge to overprint all kinds of small graphics. Stone plate Badge: it has complex and colorful patterns, especially gradients, such as tourist attractions badge. Various color photo badges are most suitable for lithographic printing, and the produced badges can perfectly reproduce the scenic spots. The surface of the imitation badge is flat, so it can also shield a variety of relatively small graphics. Paint badges are usually difficult to overprint on the surface, but one method is to add a layer of glass on the surface of the paint badge after the surface is smooth.
Overprint. The above mainly describes some characteristics of different badge production process, we can not help but ask, what is the main process of badge production process? The following is a brief description of the badge production process.
Badge production process 1: Design badge art. With the popularity of computer technology, computer drawings replace the previous manual drawings. Logo art design commonly used production software Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw, if you want to generate 3D badge effect, you need to use 3D Max and other software. For color system, Pantone solid coated is usually used, because Pantone color system can better match colors and reduce the possibility of color difference. Badge production process 2: making badge mold. To import the computer designed manuscript into the engraving machine program, so as to work out the tool path of the mold engraving in the engraving process, we must pay attention to the thickness of the mold. After shooting, compare with the mold. Finally, the mold is heat treated to improve its hardness and durability.

3: Suppression. Keep the hot spot, install the mold to be processed on the pressure machine, and transfer the pattern to different materials for making the badge, such as copper or iron.
Badge production process 4: stamping. Use the die cutter made in advance, and drive the product away with a punch according to its shape.
Badge production process 5: polishing. Put the product from the die into the polishing machine to remove the burr and improve the finish of the product. Badge making process
6: Weld the badge. The back of the product is welded with badge standard accessories or accessories required by customers. Badge production process 7: plating and coloring badges. According to the requirements of customers, the badge can be electroplated and gilded.
Silver plating, nickel plating, copper plating, etc., and then according to customer requirements brush badge. Color finish and high temperature baking to improve color fastness. Through this step, a complete badge that meets the requirements of the guest is ready.
Badge production process 8: the prepared badges are packed according to the customer's requirements. Packaging is generally divided into ordinary packaging and high-grade packaging, such as brocade box, we generally operate according to the requirements of customers.
