2D badges and 3D badges

Badges are often used for honor and identification by organizations or institutions. Some people like 2D badges while some prefer 3D ones. However, what are the differences between the 2D Badge and 3D Badge?

Club badges

The dimensionality of the 2D badge is expressed through the raised and recessed metal and the raised part can be a metal outline or a metal block while the dimensionality of the 3D badge is expressed by the stereo pattern. The recessed part is usually distinguished by the process of coloring, but there are also some badges without coloring. The overall feeling is the flat visual effect. And the most direct way to distinguish it is that the raised and recessed part of 2D design can be clearly divided. The joint between raised metal and recessed metal is vertical, without any gradient and radian. For the 3D badges, the raised part are not just metal outline and metal block, but the whole stereo pattern. There are radian and gradient between the joints of raised metal and recessed metal, which can not be distinguished by definition. The image is realistic and shows strong visual impact.

what are the differences between synthetic soft and hard enamel

The major differences between these three coloring materials will be in terms of production techniques and color rendering.Synthetic Enamel is probably the best material to render bright and shiny for colors in a reasonable cost. Colors are leveled evenly to the metal boarders and totally flat on the product surface.

Hard Enamel differ from Soft and Synthetic Enamel.  It is natural mineral substance and melted during heating process.  It is not as bright and shiny as Soft and Synthetic Enamel, but the color lasts for hundred of years without destroying on purpose.

Soft Enamel, in general speaking, it is cheaper in cost compare to Synthetic and Hard Enamel. It has a similar color render to Synthetic Enamel but color zones recess and lower than metal boarders.  Metal boarders are easy to define.

How To Distinguish the Photo Etched Soft Enamel

photo etched enamel pin

Since the recessed metal part of the photo etched soft enamel is pretty shallow and its color is very thin, sometimes people would mistake it for imitation hard enamel product. In order to avoid any similar misunderstanding or the existence of any intentionally deception, Jian would like to share the characteristics and discrimination criteria of photo etched soft enamel.

1. The photo etched soft enamel products can be divided into with epoxy coating or without epoxy coating. The metallic line of products without epoxy coating can be felt when touching, because the color is thin and below the metallic line. On the contrary, products with epoxy coating will be relatively smooth.

2. The color material is acrylic paint, the same as stamped bronze/iron soft enamel.

3. The standard thickness of the photo etched soft enamel product is relative thin, which is around 0.8mm.

4. The outer metal border is proportional to the thickness, i.e. if the item is 0.8mm thick, then the outer metal border is also 0.8mm. So comparing to other products, the outer metal border is particularly wide. If the border width is too thin, the soft enamel might be destroyed when cut out the goods piece by piece since the goods would be punched out only after the full-sheet colored and  it would require relative strong power to cut the items. 

5. Photo etched products don’t have the 3D effect because it is the corrosion of acidic chemical potion, and there is no way to corrode the angle and radian.

6. The raw materials used in the photo etched soft enamel can be copper/bronze sheet, aluminum sheet and stainless iron sheet.

7. Because the photo etched soft enamel is a full-sheet etching by acidic chemicals corrosion, generally the depth is shallow. In addition, the thickness of products itself is thin, so there is no polishing in the normal process. But if the guest requires polishing, we can also do it.
