Advanced Surface Treatment for Custom Metal Products

Discover the art of electroplating, a crucial surface treatment that transforms metal products with a wide array of stunning finishes. We offer both shiny options like gold, nickel, and silver, and sophisticated matte finishes such as antique gold and bronze. Two-tone effects are also achievable through precise masking techniques. Since 2008, Jin Jumbo has operated its own in-plant automated electroplating facilities, giving us complete control over quality and production speed to deliver superior custom metal products to our clients.


Electroplating Process for Decorative and Protective Finishes
Electroplating is a finishing process that applies a thin layer of metal onto the surface of a product using an electrochemical reaction. This process enhances both the appearance and durability of metal products by providing a decorative metallic finish and improving resistance to corrosion and wear.

Electroplating is widely used in the production of medals, challenge coins, badges, lapel pins, and other custom metal items.

Metal Deposition Through Electrochemical Reaction
During electroplating, the metal product is immersed in a chemical plating solution containing dissolved metal ions. An electrical current is applied, causing the metal ions to deposit onto the surface of the product.

This controlled deposition forms a uniform metallic layer that bonds to the base metal.

Variety of Plating Finishes
Electroplating allows manufacturers to achieve a wide range of finishes, including:
― Gold plating
― Silver plating
― Nickel plating
― Antique finishes
― Dual-tone plating effects

Each finish creates a distinctive visual style and may be selected according to the design concept or product purpose.

Improving Durability and Surface Protection
In addition to aesthetic value, electroplating improves the durability of metal products by protecting the underlying metal from oxidation and surface wear. The plated layer also enhances the contrast between polished areas and recessed textures, helping to highlight engraved details.

Proper plating thickness and quality control are essential to ensure long-term durability and consistent product appearance.
