What traditional techniques are suitable for use in badge making

Enamel process: Also known as cloisonne process, is a process in which enamel powder is colored on precious metals such as red copper or sterling silver and fired at high temperatures to fuse the enamel powder with the metal to form a hard and smooth glaze. Badges made by enamel technology are bright in color, delicate in texture, strong in color, long in preservation time, and have high artistic value and collection value, but they are also fragile, not resistant to falling or gravity knock, long in production cycle, high in cost, and are commonly used in MEDALS and MEDALS on high-end occasions such as the army and state organs.
Imitation enamel process: Similar to the enamel process, resin paint is used instead of enamel powder for coloring. The appearance of the emblem is similar to the enamel emblem, the color is more bright, the cost is lower, the fall resistance is stronger, but it is easy to fade, the preservation time is shorter, and it is suitable for middle and high-end badges, commemorative coins, MEDALS and other occasions.

Paint process: acrylic paint is painted on metal materials and baked and cured to form a solid and bright surface. The emblem made by this process has obvious concave and convex sense, clear metal lines, bright color, strong wear resistance, but it is easy to scratch and the surface is uneven, which is suitable for middle and low grade badges, MEDALS, key chains and other occasions.
Stamping process: The pattern is transferred to copper sheet, iron sheet, zinc alloy sheet and other materials by stamping machine, and then polishing, plating, coloring and other subsequent processing. The emblem made by the process has clear lines, excellent texture, high production efficiency and low cost, which is suitable for mass rapid production, but the fineness is limited, and is suitable for the emblem design with clear lines and simple colors.
Die casting process: The use of molds to die-cast metal materials, commonly seen in the production of metal badges. Die-cast badges can produce complex and difficult relief and hollow effects, strong three-dimensional, rich in details, but the cost is high, suitable for the production of high-end badges.
Bite plate process: also known as corrosion process, through chemical agents will need to hollow out the pattern corrosion, and then color, grinding, polishing and other processes. The line of the bite badge is delicate, and the surface is slightly raised after adding a layer of transparent resin.
Printing process: including screen printing and plate printing. Screen printing is suitable for badges with simple graphics and fewer colors; Flatbed printing is suitable for badges with complex patterns, more colors and gradients. The printing process can print a rich variety of patterns to the surface of the badge, but the printed pattern is easy to fall off, and the surface is not wear-resistant.
