Sample work
Etched Stainless Steel Embossing Plates
Pattern plate samples from the SGZ OEM etching service. SGZ lists stainless steel embossing plate etching as a standard service, quoted per pattern.
The challenge
What Made This Job Hard
An embossing plate is a tool, not a finished part. The pattern has to repeat without a visible seam, and stainless steel is harder to etch than the zinc and magnesium most plate shops handle every day.
Customer pain points
- Patterns that show a seam where the repeat meets
- Stainless steel that general etchers will not quote
- One pattern plate per design, with no volume to amortise
- Long lead times from tool shops
A stainless steel pattern plate ready to press a texture into leather, board, paper or sheet.
Our solution
How SGZ Produced It
SGZ etches the pattern into stainless steel to the drawing supplied, quoting each pattern individually, using the same powderless process it supplies to plate customers.
Customer emails the pattern as a drawing or artwork file
SGZ staff reply on that pattern and its price
The pattern is etched into stainless steel
The plate is checked against the drawing
Payment by PayPal, Western Union or T/T
Despatch by TNT, FedEx, UPS, DHL or Aramex
Final result
A stainless steel pattern plate ready to press a texture into leather, board, paper or sheet.
Customer benefit
An embosser gets a working pattern plate from a drawing, without buying a bath or learning to etch stainless.
