Nameplate and Trim as One Piece

Integrating Product Branding into Your Panel 

Trim decoration and brand identity are sometimes thought to be separate design considerations.  It is possible to integrate these items so that the nameplate and trim become one piece.  How is this done?  Selectively applied doming is one option.

Selective Application

Norlens, a doming process, is a urethane-based material which provides durability and added dimension to the decoration.  It pairs nicely with a brushed aluminum background.  When applied over a transparent tint, doming helps the logo take on a jewel-like appearance which then increases perceived value.

This aluminum panel made for Crown International is a great example.  The end result is an overlay which provides the functional label information as well as consistent corporate branding.

•     Brushed aluminum finish for the background provides the main surface of the trim piece.
•     Transparent blue ink along with black embossed letters shows the corporate logo. 
•     Selective doming creates another dimensional level and draws attention from the consumer to enhance brand awareness. 
•     One part number for inventory and assembly instructions with no worries for alignment.
