Products

We are pleased to introduce you to our line of metal etched and metal photo products. This line of products is composed of different metals to attain various effects to meet your customers'demands.

Our process begins with you the client, working with our staff of typesetters and artists. With your ideas, we will create a unique design for your individual situation.

The design will be accurately reproduced on the metal of your choice.

Etching Process

After the design has been approved, the etching process begins. At this stage, the image can be etched into the metal, or the background can be etched away from the image to create a relief.

The etched plate is then sent to the painting, sanding and finishing departments all housed in our state of the art facility. Each step of the way, our skilled craftsmen take pride in creating the high quality products that our satisfied customers have come to expect.

Interior Applications

Zinc, brass, copper, stainless steel and metal photo are all materials that are suitable for interior or exterior applications. Another material that is extremely popular, but limited exclusively to interior use is magnesium. Magnesium has a number of distinct advantages, it is lightweight and especially conducive to a sharp, crisp image to match the original artwork. It can also be painted to match custom colors.

Exterior Applicatons : Metal Photo

When the requests for exterior signage began to flow in, we researched all the options available to us so we could provide you with a product line to meet your needs. In 1999 we purchased an etcher dedicated for the sole purpose of producing exterior signage. We are pleased to offer the following metals for exterior use: zinc, brass, copper, stainless steel and metal photo. From this selection of materials we can give you the distinct look you desire. Metal photo was developed to maintain its integrity in extreme conditions for the U.S. Navy. The image is impregnated into the smooth metal surface creating a permanent scratch resistant image. The selection of color is limited to black with gold, silver and copper. Metal photo is available in the following thicknesses: .020, .032 and .063.

Exterior Applications : Zinc, Brass, Copper, Stainless Steel

Zinc, brass, copper and stainless steel are all different in appearance, but similar in the etching process. Like magnesium, zinc holds highly detailed artwork with precision and can be etched in the same manner as magnesium. Zinc is available in the following thicknesses: .064, .125, .153 and .250. It is a heavy metal and highly suited for outdoor applications. In brass, copper or stainless steel, we etch the image into the material, color fill and finish. For those who desire the image up and the background etched away, we offer an all-natural product with no paint fill, but a finish coat is still applied over the product. Brass is available in the following thicknesses: .020, .032, .064, and .250. Copper is available in .064. Stainless steel is available in .048. The varity of metals in our exterior product line give you the many options to meet your customers needs.
