When you're branding your products with metal, picking the right label or badge is super important for how it looks, works, and lasts.
At Schild Inc., we’ve got two fantastic options: 1mm flexible metal labels and 3mm hard metal badges. They both do a great job but come with their own perks.
Knowing what sets them apart can help you find the perfect fit for your needs.
Watch the following video to understand the difference.
1mm Flexible Metal Labels: Sleek and Adaptable
Our flexible metal labels are made from thin sheets of pure metals like brass, aluminum, copper, or tin, and they’re about 1mm thick. The best part? They’re flexible, which means they can easily bend and fit on surfaces that aren’t totally flat.
So, if you’re working with curved products like bottles, rounded gadgets, or oddly shaped containers, these labels will hug your product just right.
Another cool feature of these flexible labels is how easy they are to apply.
They usually come with a super strong adhesive backing that makes sticking them on a breeze—just peel and stick on any clean, smooth surface. No screws or fancy tools are needed, so you’ll get a clean and polished look.
When it comes to customization, flexible metal labels are pretty versatile.
You can add detailed logos, engraved text, or embossed designs for that classy touch without being too flashy.
Plus, because they’re made from pure metal, they have a real metallic vibe that boosts your product's quality without stealing the show.
3mm Hard Metal Badges: Durable and Premium
On the flip side, our 3mm hard metal badges bring that extra durability and a premium feel, making them perfect for a standout branding look.
Unlike the flexible labels, these badges are made from tough zinc alloy that durable and not bendable.
The cool thing about zinc alloy is that it can come in various metallic colouring finishes like brass, copper, and bronze. So, you can get that upscale, custom look without breaking the bank.
Because of their thickness and sturdiness, hard metal badges work best on flat, solid surfaces where you want to make a lasting visual impact.
They’re perfect for luxury product packaging, car interiors, high-end electronics, furniture—pretty much anywhere you want to shout strength, quality, and reliability.
Plus, the sturdy design of these badges allows for detailed raised or recessed features that give them a cool three-dimensional look.
For putting them on, you can stick with a strong adhesive for an easy application or go for screws or rivets if you need something that can stand up to rough conditions.
Choosing the Right Option
When you’re trying to decide between flexible labels and hard badges, keep these things in mind:
- Surface Compatibility: Flexible labels are perfect for curved or uneven surfaces, while hard badges are the way to go for flat, rugged surfaces.
- Visual Impact: Flexible labels give a subtle, classy vibe; hard badges offer a bold, premium look.
- Material and Color: Flexible labels really display the beauty of real metals like brass, aluminum, copper, and tin. On the flip side, hard badges made from zinc alloy give you a variety of metallic finishes, so you can enjoy that luxe look without breaking the bank.
- Attachment Needs: Flexible labels stick on easily with adhesives, making installation a breeze, while hard badges can be attached with screws or rivets for that extra sturdy feel.
When it comes to the 1mm flexible metal labels and 3mm hard metal badges from Schild Inc., each has advantages that cater to what your product needs.
By getting a grip on the differences in materials, flexibility, looks, and how you apply them, you’ll be all set to pick the perfect branding option to boost your product's quality, durability, and appeal in the market.
