Plating is commonly used as short form for ‘Electro Plating’. Technically speaking it is a chemical process in which a product, typically metal is coated with tiny ions of another metal through a process of electrolysis. I am not getting into the technical or more specifically chemical details of electrolysis but certainly would like to talk a little more about the application of plating. Electroplating plays a huge role in our awards and promotional industry.
Almost always awards and gifts are casted in bare metal and than plated with the desired metallic colors such as silver, chrome, gold, copper, black just to name a few. There are many many variations within each color as well, such as matt gold, bright gold, champagne gold etc. Besides the fact that platting makes the object look very impressive it also plays an important role of protecting the award or the gift from rusting.
Many times plating is also done to bring down the cost. For example many awards and gifts are casted in metal and than plated with real 24 karat gold or real silver. If platting is well done than once finished the awards and gifts look as if they are made entirely of real gold and real silver. This is used extensively to make artificial jewelry.
Now a days some very unusual substances are also electro plated. For example real flowers. Yes you heard it right. Real flowers. In fact rose flower plated in 24 karat gold is a very popular gift, especially as a romantic gift or a perfect gift for valentine. At Pinnacle how ever we have used it as an award, as a Thank you gesture gift to special employees and customers also as a long service award.
Hope now the term plating is absolutely clear if I could be of any additional help feel free to leave a comment below.
