Our process in 3 simple steps

Metal & Enamel

Designing in metal and enamel has its set of constrains, whether it is a small enamel badge, large 3D medal or enamel keyring, they all have a similar set of rules.

  • Each enamel colour requires a (metal) die line between them, this acts like a wall to stop enamel mixing together.
  • Smallest die line is 0.2mm thickness, so when designing in enamel and metal set your line tool to 0.2mm as the smallest line we can achieve.
  • Smallest text as a guide line is helvetica 4pt, but please check any special fonts with a line at 0.2mm for size.
  • For Soft Enamel Please allow about 0.3mm for an enamel line and 0.5mm for Hard Enamel. Enamel starts life as a liquid, and it is hand syringed into the the space, 0.3mm is very small but still achievable.
  • Due to the high polishing nature of Hard enamel, this process is more likely to spread and the details to appear rounded or thicker.
  • If you don't require enamel in your design and just raised and polished, the 0.2mm parameter still applies but we do have a range of textured finishes available to enhance the design.
