When making custom-made badges, the choice of materials must be taken into account. Generally, custom badges are available in metallic and non-metallic materials. Metal materials include iron, copper, stainless steel, zinc alloy, gold and silver, etc. Non-metal materials include plastic, acrylic. There are many kinds of plexiglass, PVC soft glue, etc. Among many materials, considering the cost and final product, it is more appropriate to choose copper badges, because copper badges have exquisite and beautiful appearance, strong meaning. thickness and high cost. Let’s look at the icon material.
1. Iron
The iron badge is characterized by good hardness and relatively low price, and after the iron badge is electroplated or painted, it looks similar to the copper badge, and the texture is also good; The disadvantage is that it is easy to rust after a long time.
2. Copper
Copper is relatively soft and is the metal of choice for high quality badges. Whether it is brass, red copper or red copper, it can be used to make badges. Among them, copper is used to make enamel badges, and brass and bronze are mainly used to simulate enamel badges and badges. Making metal badges such as paint badges.
3. Stainless steel
Stainless steel is mainly used for printing badges. It is characterized by strong corrosion resistance, durable metal and high cost. Its appearance is printed in rich colors and has a noticeable decorative effect.
4. Zinc alloy
Zinc alloy is the preferred material for die casting metal badges because it has good casting performance, and the appearance can be electroplated, painted, sprayed, etc. It does not absorb iron and does not stick to the mold during injection molding, and Has good mechanical properties at room temperature, wear resistance, etc., very suitable for making three-dimensional badges. However, zinc alloy badges are less resistant to corrosion and have a shorter life than copper badges.
5. Gold and silver
Gold and silver materials are also often used to make badges. They are usually used to customize more advanced icons. After all, gold and silver materials are more expensive, and pure gold and silver are not commonly used. Very common.
