When it comes to product design for consumer products, it is common to take into consideration the user experience. Along with how easy the product is to use or navigate, how it looks and feels come into play. Is the product going to be subjected to heavy handling, or does it need to be able to hold up to scratches? Is there a need for protection against glare or sun reflection?
A soft touch or velvet matte finish is an economical solution for metal nameplates and badges that have these types of requirements. It combines a very low sheen with a suede-like feel that is non-reflective and anti-glare. The result is a top quality finish with excellent performance to resist scratches and mars. Consumer products from sporting goods to electronic devices can be seen with this finish because it is durable enough to withstand outside applications and regular handling.
