What is Seiko? How is it made? How is it calculated? Many friends often ask these questions when making stainless steel characters.
Seiko words, also known as boutique characters, Seiko stainless steel characters, Hong Kong-style Seiko words or Hong Kong-style boutique characters. Generally speaking, Seiko refers to the three-dimensional advertising word after laser cutting, slotting, welding, grinding, polishing and other processes, and the surface is treated with wire drawing, electroplating or spraying. It has the characteristics of small and exquisite, simple and generous, fashionable and high-end, and is widely used in office buildings, high-end communities and complexes.
The main materials of Seiko are 304 brushed or mirrored stainless steel plate, titanium plate, and also zinc iron plate and aluminum plate. The biggest difference with ordinary words is that the font is slotted and welded around the edge, which means that the material used in Seiko is thicker than that of ordinary advertising words. In addition, the polishing of Seiko words also takes longer than ordinary words, and the last point is that the surface treatment method is different from that of ordinary words, so it is different from ordinary words in terms of visual effect. For these reasons, Seiko's ** is generally more expensive than ordinary advertising words.
The minimum size of Seiko can be 3cm, and the maximum is not limited, but it is recommended not to exceed 60cm. This is recommended based on the material itself. Of course, the minimum size also depends on factors such as whether the font is in Chinese or English, how many cm the strokes of the font can reach, and whether it can be laser cut. In general, if the font is too small to be welded, it is recommended to directly use the thick plate laser solid stainless steel to make three-dimensional characters.
In the production and processing process, the corners of the Seiko word are slotted so that the corners of the word can be perfectly docked with the surface. Therefore, even if it is a complex Chinese font stroke, the effect of Seiko is very natural, and there will be no problems of not cutting corners or connecting in place. After the welding is completed, the grinding master will carry out more detailed grinding to ensure that the corners of the Seiko word are flat, prickly and smooth. Therefore, the production of Seiko is the perfect combination of modern CNC technology and traditional handicraft art. Some manufacturers require several days of polishing time for a set of words, which may be unbelievable. However, the man-hours spent on polishing and the care are directly related to the effect of Seiko. Therefore, the technical level of each processing plant master is different, the working hours of grinding fees are also different, and the ** of each Seiko manufacturer at the time of delivery will be slightly different.
The effect of Seiko characters is better than that of ordinary characters, which is due to the difference in production technology and material to bring about different visual effects. Their purpose is the same, for owners who pursue high quality, it is recommended to choose Seiko; If the font is large and the cost needs to be controlled, it is recommended to choose the advertising word of ordinary technology.
Seiko words can also be derived from the light advertising word, which we call the back light light word. The common backlight luminous characters are installed on the basis of Seiko to present different effects. For example, if the Seiko font is mounted on a transparent acrylic plate, it becomes a crystal luminous font; Installing supporting feet on the back of the Seiko character and fixing it on the wall is the high instep typing and so on. Therefore, Seiko has an irreplaceable position in the advertising logo industry.
