Metal Label Stamping is a manufacturing process that uses stamping machinery and molds to cold deform metal sheets to form metal labels of desired shapes and sizes. Through the precise design of the mold and the strong pressure of the stamping machine, this technology can quickly and accurately stamp metal sheets into various complex or simple label shapes, which are widely used in many fields such as electronic products, automotive parts, home appliances, medical devices, jewelry and so on, for marking, tracing or decoration.
1. Metal label stamping technology principle
The technical principle of metal label stamping is based on the principle of plastic deformation in physics. In the stamping process, the metal plate is placed between the upper and lower molds, and the upper mold (convex mold) moves downward, exerting pressure on the plate, so that it undergoes plastic deformation in the cavity of the lower mold (concave mold), thus obtaining a label corresponding to the shape of the mold. This process involves shearing, bending, stretching and other deformation of the material, and is usually carried out at room temperature without heating treatment, so it is called cold stamping.
2. Customized Metal Label Stamping Products
Customized metal label stamping products service provides a high degree of flexibility and personalized options. Customers can provide information such as design drawings, size specifications, material requirements and quantities according to actual needs, and manufacturers will design and manufacture special molds based on this information for mass production. The customization process usually includes the following steps:
Demand communication: Define the customer’s specific requirements for metal labels, such as shape, size, material, quantity, surface treatment and so on.
Mold design: Design and manufacture stamping molds according to customer requirements to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the labels.
Material Selection: Select appropriate metal materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper, etc., according to the application environment and performance requirements.
Stamping Production: Use stamping presses to stamp metal sheets to form the desired label shape.
Post-treatment: Perform surface treatment, such as polishing, plating, spraying, etc., as needed to enhance the appearance and corrosion resistance of the labels.
Quality Inspection: Strict quality inspection of the finished product to ensure compliance with customer requirements.
Packing and shipping: Pack the qualified metal labels and ship them according to customers’ requirements.
