Badges are small decorations often used for identity, commemoration, publicity and other purposes. The process of making badges mainly includes mold making, material preparation, back processing, pattern design, glaze filling, baking, polishing and other processes. The following is a detailed introduction to the process of making badges:
- Mold making: First, make iron or copper molds according to the designed emblem pattern. The quality of the mold directly affects the quality of the finished badge, so precise measurement and engraving are required.
- Material preparation: According to the requirements of the badge, prepare the corresponding materials. Commonly used materials include copper, zinc alloy, stainless steel, etc. These materials can provide different appearance effects, such as metallic texture, smooth and bright, wear-resistant and so on.
- Back processing: The back of the badge is usually processed into nickel-plated, tin-plated, gold-plated or spray-painted to increase the beauty and durability of the badge.
- Pattern design: According to the customer’s requirements and the purpose of the badge, design the corresponding pattern. The pattern can be realized by embossing, embossing, silk screen and other processes to make the badge more three-dimensional and delicate.
- Glaze filling: place the prepared mold in a fixed position, and inject the glaze of the corresponding color into the groove of the mold. Glazes can use organic pigments or UV-resistant pigments. After pouring, use a spatula to smooth the glaze so it is flush with the surface of the mold.
- Baking: Put the mold filled with glaze into a high-temperature oven for baking to harden the glaze. The baking temperature and time need to be adjusted according to the glaze type and requirements.
- Polishing: Baked badges need to be polished to make the surface smoother. Polishing can be done by hand or machine to enhance the texture and brightness of the emblem.
- Assembling and packaging: After polishing the emblem, it needs to go through the assembly process, including installing back clips, installing accessories, etc. Finally, after packaging, you can choose individual packaging or overall packaging to ensure the integrity and moisture-proof of the badge.
From design to production, the production of badges needs to go through many links, and each link requires precise operation and professional technology. The produced badge should have a high degree of restoration, a delicate and three-dimensional effect, and have good durability. Through continuous innovation and improvement, the process of making badges is also constantly improving to meet the needs of different customers for badges.
