How to choose Taiyuan corrosion sign advertising manufacturer? Let’s talk about the pitfalls and treasures

Over the years as a website editor, I have written many articles about signage design and production. In the background, I often have friends from Shanxi, especially Taiyuan, asking questions.: “Editor, can you talk about corrosion signs? Our factory wants to replace a batch of equipment signs with more durable ones. ”“I want to make some textured door signs for the store. How is the corrosion? ”After asking more questions, I discovered that the biggest headache for everyone is not “whether to do it”, but “who to find?” - There are so many corrosion sign advertising manufacturers in Taiyuan, which one is reliable?

Today we will not deal with those empty theories, but simply talk about the ways to find such manufacturers in Taiyuan. This industry is not shallow. There are real "treasure manufacturers" and some troublesome "pits". I will give you a summary based on the cases I usually come into contact with and the information I talk to friends in the industry.

We need to understand what is so good about “corrosion signs” and why does it endure so long? To put it simply, it is Texture and durable , through chemical corrosion (also called etching), patterns and text are made on metal plates (commonly like stainless steel, copper, and aluminum). The concave and convex three-dimensional effect cannot be given by inkjet printing. In addition, the surface is usually colored, baked, or distressed, and the paint is not easy to fade due to wind, sun, and rain. It is common to leave it outdoors for ten or eight years. As an old industrial city in Taiyuan, many factories, enterprises, and units particularly recognize this, which makes it look stable and solid.

But here comes the problem. The process sounds simple, but it is not easy to make it precise. When looking for a manufacturer in Taiyuan, the first "pit" to avoid is Just look at the price, not the details of the craftsmanship , the prices quoted by some small workshops can be so low that you will be tempted, but you have to ask clearly: What board was used? Is it 304 stainless steel or a bargain? Is the corrosion deep enough? Is it car paint or ordinary spray paint? Was there any anti-oxidation or sealing treatment done later? Cheap often means saving costs in places that you can’t see. The result may be that soon after the sign was installed, the corners began to rust, the color turned black, and the dust accumulated in the concave and convex areas became unsightly and difficult to clean. I heard a very helpless example. A restaurant made a corroded copper door header. It was cheap, but within a year, the words were corroded into pits and looked like pockmarks from a distance. The boss regretted it.

How to dig for "treasure"? I think, Conduct on-site inspections or read detailed cases It’s so important. Reliable Taiyuan manufacturers generally won’t refuse you to visit their production workshops (pay attention to safety, of course). You can take a look at the new and old equipment, the workshop environment, the appearance of semi-finished products and finished products, and more importantly, Ask them to provide some photos of local cases they have done. It is best to tell you where to install it. If it is convenient, you can go and see the effect yourself. , to see how the actual state of the sign is after a period of time in a climate like our Taiyuan with four distinct seasons and a large temperature difference between winter and summer. Is there any deformation? Is the color still solid? This is the hard truth.

Professionalism can best be seen in the communication link , a responsible manufacturer, designer or salesperson will ask you carefully: In what environment is the brand used (indoor, outdoor, or semi-outdoor)? What style do you want (modern, retro, industrial)? What's the budget? They will give suggestions based on your actual situation, rather than just encouraging you to do the most expensive and complicated one. If you are just doing indoor equipment nameplates, you may not need to do complex multi-layer color corrosion. ； If it is a large outdoor sign, they have to consider the stability of the structure and the installation method. When you talk about your needs, you will say "no problem", "can do it", and "shipped in as soon as three days". Instead, you have to be careful. Good craftsmanship takes time, design, drawing, corrosion, cleaning, coloring, post-processing... one link after another, and you can't rush it.

Another point that is easily overlooked is that After service , the installation of signs is a technical job, and the effect will be greatly reduced if it is not installed properly. A good manufacturer will provide installation guidance and even undertake installation services. If there is slight damage during transportation or after installation, can they respond in time to repair it? These must be discussed clearly in the early stage. The advantages of local manufacturers in Taiyuan are reflected at this time. Communication is easy, and if there are any problems, they can come to your door quickly.

Finally, let’s talk about design. Don’t think that corrosion signs are “traditional” or “old-fashioned”. Now many manufacturers in Taiyuan have caught up with their design capabilities. Traditional corrosion processing, combined with modern design language, can produce very amazing effects, such as combining hollowing, color filling, backlighting, and even It is very creative when combined with other materials such as acrylic and wood. When looking for a manufacturer, you might as well take a look at the strength of their design team to see if there are any novel cases that will catch your eye. This can reflect whether the manufacturer is diligently keeping up with the market, rather than just doing the same thing.

Looking for corrosion sign advertising manufacturers in Taiyuan, Don’t be afraid of trouble, ask more, read more, compare more After going through the price, process, cases, communication, and service, I probably figured out that the craft itself is a "treasure", but only by finding the right "treasure hunter" - that is, the reliable manufacturer - can the money you spend truly turn into a good brand that can stand the test of time and enhance the brand image. I hope this little thought can help my friends in Taiyuan who are worrying about this matter.
