Enameling Custom Cast Items with Special Shapes
Some of the most frequently asked questions are:
“Is the colored enameling of cast objects in special shapes of good quality? Does it last over time without losing the vibrancy of its original colors?”
The clear and detailed answer is as follows:
The recessed areas are those lower than the flat surface of the badge. The enamel is placed in these recessed zones and then fired in kilns to harden the glaze until it becomes solid and durable. The enameling process is done only once, meaning that when the enamel dries, it bonds tightly to the metal edges and is embedded below the metal line.
This prevents the enamel from contacting other objects during use — a key factor in the long-term durability of badges and keychains.
Traditional enameling uses glass-based enamel, allowing the use of precise Pantone colors.
Thanks to this glass base, the enameled surface becomes both hard and glossy, while maintaining a high pigment density to reproduce the desired shade accurately.
The enameling of cast objects in special shapes can be done in an unlimited number of colors.
However, it’s important to note that these special-shaped objects can only be enameled with linear colors — separate tones that cannot be overlaid, blended, or merged.
If the brand mark or logo you wish to reproduce on a badge or metal object can be simplified into non-blending colors (remaining linear), we can faithfully execute any logo or emblem requested.
Conclusion
Cast objects that require enameling to integrate all graphical identity elements are long-lasting, high-quality items.
They do not lose their color clarity over time and can reproduce any Pantone shade included in the client’s logo design.
