Metals, steel and alloys are used to create the most solid constructions. We will discuss their usage and finishing:

Metal wire

Full metal wires, such as steelwire, with variable diameters. Inexpensive alternative to more stylish materials. Highly specialised fabrication process.

Metal plate

Metal plate, such as steel plate, is a sheet metal in a thicker form (eg. 10/10 = 1 mm). Plates are cut, bended, punched, weld, soldered to form a composing item of a display.

Perforated plate

Different forms of panels perforated with variable perforation diameters for decoration or functional purposes, designed for the use of various hook systems (for blisters) and accessories. 

Metal tube

Metal tubes can be round or square shaped, cut, bended, weld, soldered to form a composing item of a display. 

Galvanising

Material finishing process. The application for waterproofing and protection of zinc coatings on the surface of a metal, by hot dipping or electrodepositing.

Anodization

Material finishing process used to improve corrosion resistance and decorative aspect of aluminum and aluminum-based alloys. The material is cleaned, and then immersed in a bath of acids where oxidation occurs through an electrochemical process.

Alloy

A mixture of metals and small quantities of non-metals, e.g. zamac, and alloy of zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper, its name being the first letters of the composites. Alloys are typically cast for resistant smaller objects.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel is a ferrous alloy and rusts less easily than ordinary steel. Very much appreciated for its luxury glossy surface.

Epoxy

Metal finishing process. Epoxy paints are pigmented resins that are used to protect and/or beautify metals, know for their toughness and durability (standard NCS or RAL Colors, other colors depending on the producer). Different surfaces structures are possible: grain, orange, mat, glossy.

Chroming

Steel finishing process that requires in certain cases polishing and a nickel bath prior chromium coating. This treatment can also be applied directly to certain plastics.

Blister

Hook from metal wire typically attached to a panel from perforated steel to present blister packs.


A blister pack is a packaging for presentation of a product in between a printed card and a transparent plastic cover, usually vacuum packed.



Under fabrication processes: extrusion, welding and soldering, punching, laser cutting, embossing,...

During the design of your POS we will obviously show samples of all the proposed materials.
