Himgo delivers high-quality, cost-effective metal nameplates for you.
🌟 Why the Process Matters
For product designers, manufacturers, or procurement teams, understanding how custom metal stickers are made can:
Improve design-for-manufacturing (DFM) decisions
Avoid mismatched specs or over-engineered features
Ensure supply chain reliability
Support sustainable and cost-effective procurement
At Himgo, we manage every step under one roof — from raw metal processing to final adhesive lamination — so your product receives more than just a label, but a badge of quality.
🏗️ Step-by-Step: From Design to Delivery
1️⃣ Concept & Application Analysis
We begin by understanding your use case:
Device type (e.g., smartphone, speaker, charger, router)
Function (decorative, branding, compliance, technical label)
Environment (temperature, EM interference, outdoor/indoor)
Mounting surface (flat, curved, textured)
2️⃣ Engineering & Prototyping
You’ll work directly with our in-house engineers to define:
Material: aluminum, stainless steel, brass, nickel
Size, thickness, and shape (CNC/die-cutting ready)
Surface finishes (e.g., brushed, glossy, matte)
Adhesive type (3M 300LSE, foam-based, custom)
We offer free DFM feedback and rapid samples before mass production.
3️⃣ Material Preparation & Cutting
We only source certified raw materials, then precision-cut using:
Laser cutting for complex shapes
Stamping or die-cutting for high-volume runs
CNC machining for ultra-fine tolerances
Material options include:
Material | Benefit |
---|---|
Aluminum | Lightweight, corrosion-resistant |
Stainless Steel | Strong, clean modern look |
Brass / Nickel | Decorative, high-end aesthetics |
4️⃣ Surface Finishing
This is where metal becomes your brand. We offer 12+ finishing styles:
Brushed / Satin for a subtle, matte texture
Polished / Glossy for mirror-like shine
Anodized / Electroplated for color + durability
Sandblasting / Etching for premium texture
5️⃣ Decoration: Printing, Engraving, Embossing
Depending on your requirements:
Silk screen printing for bold colors
Laser etching for serials, logos, or barcodes
Embossing for tactile branding
UV printing for gradient and multicolor effects
We help choose methods that balance aesthetic and durability.
6️⃣ Adhesive Backing & Lamination
A sticker is only as good as its adhesive. Options include:
3M 468MP / 300LSE for electronics
Foam tape for uneven or textured surfaces
Custom-cut adhesives for non-standard shapes
7️⃣ Quality Control & Packaging
Every order undergoes:
Adhesion & temperature tests
Surface inspection (scratches, bends)
Packaging with protective film + bubble wrap
Labeling by SKU / Part No. for inventory ease
🔧 Our in-house QC team is led by 3 senior engineers.
✅ Final Delivery: On Time. No Surprises.
We understand your timeline matters.
Thanks to our in-house facility and efficient scheduling system, we can ship your metal stickers on time — even with short lead times.
