1. Case Brief
The client (a Korean enterprise) provided design drawings for multi-style penetration-anodized aluminum nameplates (featuring Korean text, model numbers, and QR codes), requiring us to complete bulk production efficiently. The core demands included precise QR code readability, durable penetration-anodized text/graphics, and consistent quality across 9 different nameplate styles, with strict adherence to the design’s size (80×40MM) and layout standards.
2. Custom Requirements
- Material & Process: Use 1.2mm-thick aluminum alloy, adopt penetration anodization (to ensure text/QR codes are embedded in the aluminum surface, scratch-resistant and fade-proof);
- Design & Details: Accurately replicate 9 styles (e.g., L-1, TL-2, K-5) with Korean text ((주)삼정유리), model numbers (SJ970001, etc.), and QR codes; the QR code must have 100% scanning readability, with text/font consistency across all styles;
- Size & Batch: Produce 80×40MM nameplates in mixed batches (total 3,000 pieces across 9 styles), with no dimensional deviation (tolerance ≤0.1mm);
- Core Requirements: Complete sample confirmation within 4 days of receiving design drawings, finish all bulk production within 12 days; ensure penetration-anodized layers meet 5,000+ wear cycles (industry standard).
3. Our Solution
Leveraging 20 years of experience in precision aluminum nameplate customization, we developed a "process optimization + QR code accuracy control + mixed-batch scheduling" plan:
- Material & Process Adaptation: Select 6061 aluminum alloy (1.2mm thick) suitable for penetration anodization; control the anodizing layer thickness at 15-20μm, then embed text/QR codes via precision electrolytic coloring to ensure the pattern is integrated with the aluminum substrate (wear-resistant and non-fading);
- QR Code & Text Accuracy Control: Convert design drawings into CNC engraving templates, calibrate QR code module size (2.5mm per module) to ensure 100% scanning success rate; use font positioning tools to maintain consistent text layout across 9 styles;
- Sampling & Confirmation: Complete 1 sample per style (9 total) within 3 days, test QR code readability and anodized layer adhesion, and obtain client confirmation within 4 days;
- Mixed-Batch Production & Quality Control: Launch a dedicated penetration anodization production line, label each style with exclusive identifiers for mixed-batch processing; inspect 20% of products per style (focusing on QR code readability, text consistency, and anodized layer durability);
- Efficient Delivery: Finish 3,000 pieces (9 styles) within 12 days, package by style with anti-scratch film, and attach a QR code readability test report for client verification.
4. Customer Feedback
“The penetration-anodized nameplates fully meet our expectations: the QR codes scan perfectly, the text/graphics are sharp and wear-resistant, and the 9 styles have consistent quality. The 12-day mixed-batch production cycle is much faster than our previous suppliers, and the anodized layers show no signs of fading after wear tests. Your precision control and efficiency are outstanding—we’ll lock in this long-term cooperation.”
