|
Standard aluminum works for most applications Coining is an optional forming method Attachment methods include PSA, tabs without PSA, snap fit or IMD |
Conforms to bezel, housing or injection molded 3-dimensional surface Tooling for forming is usually much less expensive than tooling for injection molding Less expensive alternative to decorated 3-dimensional bezel, housing or injection molded options Metallic look can be achieved with brushed, bright or spun finish (or combination of methods) |
A deep draw requires use of a dead soft aluminum which is not available in bright finishes Lead time on tooling may be extended for large formed dimensions Zoned adhesives occasionally required for attachment, increasing assembly costs Tight radii and corners may extend lead times |
Space Conformed Nameplates
Products come in many shapes and sizes and not every surface that requires branding or identification can be flat!
Thankfully, this problem of application diversity is easily remedied GM Nameplate's ability to manufacture a formed label or nameplate. A GM Nameplate formed nameplate will fit perfectly in the space you have in mind, whether this is a simple curved radius or something more complicated.
