From artwork to metal
Follow the piece through production.
Our workshop notes document mold making, stamping and casting, trimming, polishing, external plating and colour. The route varies with the product and finish.
Tooling starts with the design
Artwork becomes a three-dimensional design, then engraved tooling.
The documented route takes artwork into a 3D design and then into engraved tooling.
Customer-labelled tooling storage supports order continuity; confirm retention and reuse terms in the quote. Photographs of unrelated pieces cannot prove reproduction of a particular customer design — ask for a sample of your own artwork.
Two forming routes
Iron stamping and zinc-alloy casting.
Iron stamping develops flat and shallow-relief forms. Zinc-alloy casting provides a route for thicker and sculpted shapes. These are design choices to discuss, not a fixed rule that every thin part must be iron.
Trim and polish before the finish
Formed blanks are trimmed or deburred and polished before later finishing steps. A blank can help show relief and line detail.
Mold workshop
Tooling is machined and engraved in-house, then stored under the customer’s label.
Plating is external. Colour follows the artwork.
The finish is agreed for each job.
Our notes identify a separate plating workshop; we do not describe this as an in-house plating line. The notes document colour dispensing and UV printing. The selected enamel or print process, artwork detail and intended surface effect must be confirmed together.
External plating
The required colour and finish must be agreed for each job, against a sample.
Colour dispensing and UV printing
Documented in the workshop notes; the process is chosen by the artwork.

Start with a brief
Discuss the process behind your order.
Include quantity, destination and your required in-hand date. Commercial terms are confirmed in the quotation.
Prepare your enquiry
Send the brief behind the artwork
Share the product, quantity, destination and in-hand date. If the design is still taking shape, tell us the intended product and the questions you need answered.
