When it comes to product branding, industrial identification, or data tagging, custom metal labels offer unmatched durability and a premium look. At Mosen, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality metal labels tailored to your specific needs.
Here’s a comprehensive step-by-step guide to help you understand the customization process and get the perfect metal label for your application.
Step 1: Choose the Right Material
Different metals serve different purposes. Selecting the right base is crucial:
-
Aluminum – Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, suitable for printing and anodizing
-
Stainless Steel – Ideal for harsh environments and heavy-duty use
-
Brass – Luxurious finish, suitable for decorative and branding labels
-
Zinc Alloy (Zamak) – Used in die-casting for dimensional or logo-based labels
🔍 Tip: Consider environmental conditions like heat, moisture, and chemical exposure.
Step 2: Decide the Shape, Size & Thickness
You can customize:
-
Shape: Rectangular, oval, circular, or fully custom contours
-
Size: Any dimensions, based on where and how it will be applied
-
Thickness: Ranges from 0.3 mm to 3 mm depending on rigidity and depth requirements
Step 3: Select the Surface Finish
Surface treatment affects aesthetics, readability, and durability:
-
Brushed / Matte / Mirror Finish
-
Anodized Color Coating
-
Electroplating (Gold, Silver, Nickel, Chrome)
-
Antique Finish (Brass, Bronze, Copper)
-
Protective Clear Lacquer (UV & scratch-resistant)
Step 4: Choose a Printing or Marking Method
Each method offers different levels of durability and visual effect:
-
Laser Engraving – Permanent and precise
-
UV Printing – Full color, high resolution
-
Screen Printing – Spot color, cost-effective
-
Etching with Fill – Chemical or laser etching + paint infill
-
Embossing/Debossing – Raised or recessed surface for tactile effect
-
Die-Casting – 3D logo or emblem labels
Step 5: Confirm Mounting or Adhesion Requirements
Based on where your label will go, choose one of the following:
-
3M Adhesive Backing – Quick and clean installation
-
Screw Holes / Rivet Holes – Permanent and secure mounting
-
Magnet or Stud Fixing – For reusable or removable applications
-
No Backing – Ideal for welding or embedding during assembly
