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.
