Silk-screen PrintingSilk-screen Printing
What is silk-screen printing? It is a stencil method of printmaking in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink forced through the mesh onto the printing surface.
EngravingEngraving
By having the drill-head slightly milling the surface, the engraving of fine text or complex designs is able to be performed on a variety of surfaces, be it flat, curved, and so on.Suitable for small batch print, and/or simple lettering. Font shall be similar to VAG Rounded font type.
■Engraving manuscript◎Text positioning ◎Text dimensions ◎Color Font shall be similar to "VAG Rounded " font type. Kindly inquire for text, logo engraving feasibility.
■Best displayed if the area will be oiled.Because of its small lot printing, initial cost would be kept to a minimum.

PaintingPainting
SuitabilityAll plastic and metallic material types.
Specific colorKindly check for specific color availability before ordering.
Paint typesAcrylic, powder coat, melamine, urethane, metallic, weather resistance and conductivity (for plastic).
FinishOne tone, leather tone, uniform or gloss
●Metallic paintThis coating has a metallic luster. The paint is usually mixed with a fine metal powder (such as aluminium). This enables the paint to shine, providing for a luxurious look and feel.
Example of enclosure type (AW series)
●Leather tone paintThe pa in ted sur face cons is ts o f th in irregularities, which causes an uneven surface finish, enabling it to have a high quality feel.
Example of enclosure type (SL series)
●Conductivity paintPrimarily used to create a shielding effect on plastic materials. The paint usually consists of nickel filler, or mixed with copper flakes for conductivity.
Example of enclosure type (SX series)
●One Tone PaintingDue to aluminium flakes mixed into the paint, it forms a slight uneven surface finish, creating a high-quality feel.*Below are colors currently being utilized; no initial paint set-up fees required
●Powder coatingPowder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin".*Below are colors currently being utilized; no initial paint set-up fees required

Aluminium AnodizingAluminium Anodizing
What is anodizing? Anodizing is an electrochemical process that converts the metal surface, such as an aluminium plate, into a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant, anodic oxide finish. Various colors, such as red, yellow, and blue, among others, are possible to be achieved with the anodizing process.
Hair-line FinishHair-line Finish
One of many surface finishes, a hair-line finish is typically employed on an aluminium or stainless steel type material.It appears as a streak of polished lines, similar in thickness to a strand of hair.These polished lines can prevent scratches and finger print smudges on the surface.This metallic texture finish gives a luxurious look and feel to the product.
Alodine is a term for the process chemistry for the chromate conversion coating of aluminium. This conversion coating can be essentially clear (or sometimes slightly yellowish).It is used in our subrack enclosure panels, as well as other parts.
