Sandblasted Look for Product Identification

Written by Vicky Bowie | Sep 13, 2018

Have you been looking for a durable metal finish to enhance the decoration for your nameplate? Consider a sandblast or metallic background. This type of decoration contrasts well with bright aluminum and high gloss graphics for premium decorative branding, as seen in the featured nameplate below. The matte finish holds up to exposure to harsh environments, so it can work for industrial applications as well.

Metallic Inks = Sandblasted Aluminum Backgrounds for Nameplates

A sandblasted look on aluminum nameplates can be achieved with metallic inks, using flecks of silver to reflect a metallic, sandblast finish. The finer the fleck, the more matte and subtle the finish becomes. The coarser the fleck, the more pronounced and visual it is. Metallic inks can be coupled with screen printed halftones, transparent and opaque colors as well as embossed graphics. The options are endless.
