1. Case Brief
The client is Avianca (a leading aviation brand), requiring custom metal nameplates for its in-flight trolley equipment. The nameplates include brand logos, technical instructions, and equipment information, with strict requirements for material durability, text/logo clarity, and compliance with aviation industry standards. After receiving the finished products, the client conducted chemical agent damage tests on the nameplates, and the results fully met their quality expectations.
2. Custom Requirements
- Material & Durability: Use aviation-grade 304 stainless steel (thickness 1.0mm) to ensure resistance to corrosion, scratches, and chemical erosion (to adapt to the harsh in-flight environment);
- Process & Details: Adopt etching + high-temperature baking paint process for logos/text (red paint for the Avianca brand logo, black for technical instructions) to ensure color fastness and no peeling;
- Content & Compliance: Accurately reproduce multi-language technical instructions (English) and brand information, with text clarity meeting aviation equipment identification standards;
- Packaging & Protection: Use anti-collision foam packaging for bulk shipments to avoid scratches during transportation;
- Core Requirement: The finished nameplates must pass the client’s chemical agent (cleaning fluid, disinfectant) damage test, ensuring no paint fading or material corrosion.
3. Our Solution
Leveraging 20 years of experience in custom metal crafts for industrial scenarios, we developed a "material selection + process optimization + durability verification" solution for aviation-grade nameplates:
- Aviation-Grade Material Selection: Use 304 stainless steel (1.0mm thickness) that meets aviation industry material standards, with surface brushed treatment to enhance wear resistance and corrosion resistance;
- High-Durability Process Matching: Adopt precision chemical etching (etching depth 0.12mm) to ensure text/logo clarity, then use high-temperature (180℃) baking paint for color filling—this process ensures paint adhesion ≥4B (ASTM standard), avoiding peeling or fading in harsh environments;
- Content & Quality Control: Strictly follow the client’s design documents to typeset technical instructions and logos, with a text error rate of 0; each nameplate undergoes 2 rounds of visual inspection (pre-baking and post-baking) to ensure clarity and accuracy;
- Packaging & Shipment Protection: Use custom-cut EPE foam liners for bulk packaging, fixing each nameplate individually to avoid collision scratches; add moisture-proof film inside the carton to adapt to long-distance transportation conditions;
- Pre-Delivery Durability Verification: Conduct simulated chemical agent tests (using aviation common cleaning fluids/disinfectants) on pre-shipment samples, verifying no paint fading or material corrosion after 48 hours of immersion, ensuring compliance with the client’s test requirements.
4. Customer Feedback
“After conducting chemical agent damage tests on the received nameplates, we found that the paint and material showed no signs of fading or corrosion—fully meeting our aviation equipment durability standards. The text and logos are clear, the packaging is well-protected, and the overall quality is excellent. We highly recognize your professional process control and quality assurance capabilities, and will continue to cooperate for subsequent aviation equipment nameplate customization.”
