Choosing the right material depends on the complexity of your product design, your budget, and the desired physical properties. Iron is a cost-effective material typically used with die stamping to create basic metal products. It can be enhanced with soft enamel or imitation hard enamel for improved appearance and corrosion resistance.
Zinc alloy is moderately priced but highly pliable, suitable for die casted processes for products requiring complex designs, inner holes, irregular shapes, and more three-dimensional effects. Zinc alloy excels in casting, perfect for intricate detail work, and produces high mechanical strength finishes. It also supports various surface treatments, including soft enamel or imitation hard enamel.
Copper, while more expensive, can accommodate more complex designs and is usually left in its natural color to showcase its classic beauty.
The choice of material will impact the functionality and market appeal of your product.
