Design sense and aesthetics

Trademarks need to balance design sense and aesthetics, and once established, strive to maintain a consistent design. Because once a trademark is established, it needs to be used for a long time in order to increase its distinctiveness in the market. If the design of the trademark is frequently changed, it can make it difficult for consumers to distinguish which one is the genuine trademark, leading to confusion

At the same time, it is also necessary to combine the design concept and brand value of one’s own brand. So choosing good designs and reliable hardware suppliers is very important.

Case studies applied to handbags

How to Calculate Costs for Metal Logo/metal bag tags

1.Material

Generally, trademarks are made of zinc alloy materials. Secondly, stainless steel, copper, or silicone can also be used. However, the production process of zinc alloy has high cost-effectiveness and good electroplating performance, so zinc alloy materials are generally used to make trademarks.

2.Size Detail

Generally, it is necessary to design several different sizes of trademarks for matching use in wallets, nylon bags, women’s handbags, men’s handbags, and sports bags
The price may vary depending on the size of the trademark. Generally speaking, the larger the size and the more materials used, the more expensive the price will be.
But it’s not necessarily the smaller the price, because sometimes the smaller the trademark, the higher the precision required for processing, so the cost will also be more expensive.
If you want to consider reducing the price factor, try to choose a design with moderate size, moderate thickness, and simple craftsmanship.

3.Colour

Luggage hardware generally adopts solution electroplating. This can save costs. Solution electroplating is generally divided into rolling plating and hanging plating.
Roll coating is relatively cheap, but it has low glossiness, poor color fastness, and is prone to oxidation.
Hanging plating is more expensive than rolling plating, but it has high glossiness and good color fastness, and can pass salt spray testing

Common colors include：Light Gold,Nickle,Gunmetal,ANTIQUE Brass,Sliver and so on.

More and more designers nowadays enjoy using spray painting techniques to create colors. Because spray painting can be made in different colors according to the Pantone color chart, with rich colors.

The above are all key factors that determine the price of a trademark, and these factors need to be considered in the early stages of design, so as to avoid changing the design or color due to price issues when making goods later on

FAQ

A1:Engraved, embossed, enamel-filled and laser-marked logos all work on this die-cast zinc alloy plate in brass, copper, gold, gunmetal. Die-casting reproduces fine lettering and raised borders cleanly, so your brand mark stays sharp after plating. Finishes are verified with 48-hour neutral salt spray testing.

Q2:What fixing methods does the 2mm label support?

Zinc Alloy or Brass – Choosing by Design, Not by Price

Zinc alloy die-casting is chosen for what it enables: sharp detail on engraved logos, tight size tolerances across batches, and clean reproduction of custom shapes that would be costly to stamp in brass. Brass remains the right choice where solid-metal weight and a heritage feel are part of the design brief. A good hardware partner should tell you honestly which one your project needs – and back either choice with 48-hour salt spray testing and nickel-release reports.
