Etching Application Typical Case in Gift & Decor Industry

Etching logo is a metal surface treatment technology, mainly used to create a design with a specific pattern or text on the metal surface. This technology uses chemical methods to form the desired pattern or text on the metal surface, usually on stainless steel or other metal materials. The production process of etching logo includes the following steps: Preparation stage: 

First, a layer of corrosion-resistant photosensitive ink is evenly printed on the metal surface, and then a film negative is placed.

Exposure stage: The ink is exposed using ultraviolet light, so that the transparent part on the film can cause the ink to react chemically to form a coating that is resistant to weak alkali.

Development stage: After removing the film, the metal is placed in a developer filled with a weak alkaline sodium carbonate solution. Because part of the coating is not resistant to weak alkali, it will react chemically with the solution and fall off, exposing the metal surface underneath.

Etching stage: A layer of anti-corrosion protective film is attached to the metal surface, and then it is placed in the etching machine. ‌ Use ferric chloride solution to flush the exposed metal surface, and the trivalent iron ions will quickly oxidize, forming the desired pattern or text on the metal surface. ‌

The advantages of etching logo include short production cycle, low cost, and the ability to quickly deliver high-quality sign products to customers. ‌ In addition, this technology does not require mold opening and is suitable for making embossed metal signs or concave metal signs. It is widely used in various scenarios, including high-end, young, and modern commercial scenarios. It is favored for its durability and wide range of usage scenarios. ‌

Etched logo has a wide range of applications, including but not limited to signs, metal bookmarks, business cards, golf heads, car remote control key signs, glasses logos, headphone logos, mobile phone buttons, mobile phone camera decorations, wine labels, small home appliance signs, computer signs, mobile phone back cover logos, mobile phone handset speaker nets, and cosmetic box decorations. These applications not only cover multiple industries, such as golf, automobiles, mobile phones, glasses, headphones, small appliances, cosmetic packaging, furniture and toys, but also the production process of etched logos is durable and has a wide range of usage scenarios, which can meet the personalized needs of different products. The production process of etched logos mainly includes cutting, mask preparation, etching and post-processing. It can be made into convex metal signs or concave metal signs. Specific patterns or texts are formed on the metal surface by chemical etching, thereby achieving personalized identification effects.
