Manufacturing & Finishing
We produce these labels using high-quality aluminum to create a seamless visual integration. Our process ensures a premium look that supports your brand identity on any product surface.
Brushed, Matte & Polished Surfaces — Three Premium Finishes for Every Aesthetic
Brushed satin (hairline) finish for an industrial, modern aesthetic with fine linear brushing marks. Matte (2B) surface for a minimalist premium look with no glare. Mirror-polished surface for a luxury character with maximum visual contrast against the relief areas. Every surface is mechanically finished before anodizing for a consistent result across the entire series.
Colored Anodizing — Black, Gold, Red, Blue, and Custom Shades
Anodizing aluminum creates a durable color layer that becomes an integral part of the metal — it won't peel or chip off. Available colors: black, gold (champagne), red, blue, and additional custom shades matched to the customer's Pantone reference samples. Anodizing also increases surface hardness and resistance to corrosion and UV radiation for long-term color stability.
Hybrid Technique — 3D Relief + Screen Printing for Maximum Detail
The 3D relief alone creates a perfect spatial effect for logos and simple icons. For fine text, small icons, and multi-color details, we combine the relief with UV-resistant screen printing or digital CMYK printing. The hybrid technique delivers both a premium tactile experience and sharp readability of small text simultaneously. Every panel is supplied with pre-applied PSA adhesive — ready for immediate mounting.
Technical Excellence
Precision Customization & Application
We engineer every label to meet your specific design and application requirements. Our process ensures a perfect fit, turning your brand mark into a seamless part of the product.
Custom Shapes & Geometry — Any Shape According to DXF Drawing
Every 3D metal crafted label is manufactured precisely to the customer's DXF drawing — any shape (circle, rectangle, shield, logo-shape) and dimensions from 10×10 mm for miniature products to larger panels. Die-cut edges are clean and burr-free. Available: screw or pin holes for mechanical fastening combined with PSA adhesive.
Curved & Oval Surfaces — 0.3 mm Thickness for Perfect Conformity
The ultra-thin 0.3 mm profile allows the label to conform to curved and oval surfaces without air bubbles or lifting edges — something not possible with thicker metal labels. Suitable for cylindrical surfaces (bottles, tubes, tube-shaped enclosures) and convex surfaces of appliances and speakers. Minimum bend radius depends on label size — we consult before ordering.
3D Relief Effect for Logos, Icons & Text — Depth Visible from a Distance
Relief forming creates a spatial effect that gives logos and icons depth visible from multiple angles and under different lighting conditions. Relief height is configured according to the customer's design — subtle relief for understated aesthetics, bold relief for a strong first impression. Combining a matte relief surface with polished flat areas (or vice versa) creates maximum visual contrast.
Custom PSA Adhesive — for Every Surface and Environment
Every label is supplied with pre-applied industrial pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) selected for the customer's target surface. Permanent adhesive for durable mounting on metal, plastic, and painted surfaces. For hard-to-bond surfaces (PP, PE, PTFE) or outdoor applications, specialized adhesive types are available. On request, we supply labels without adhesive for customers with their own mounting process.
Quality Assurance
High-End Manufacturing Standards
ISO 9001:2015 (SGS) — Three-Stage Inspection of Every Label
Every 3D metal crafted label passes through a three-stage inspection: incoming check of the aluminum blank (thickness, purity), inspection of the relief and surface after processing, and outgoing visual and adhesive inspection. An SGS-verified ISO 9001:2015 certificate is available on request. Production records are archived for 10 years for order traceability.
Anodizing Color Consistency — Delta E ≤ 2 Between Series
Anodizing aluminum creates a color layer that is integral with the metal — it won’t peel or chip off. Color consistency is achieved through precise control of the anodizing process parameters (temperature, time, current density). Delta E ≤ 2 between series ensures consistent color across the customer’s entire product range. Every series includes reference samples for approval before production.
From 1 Piece for Prototypes to High-Volume Production
The minimum order is 1 piece for prototypes and project development phases, with no setup surcharge. For high-volume orders we optimize the production setup for consistent output. Series deliveries enable regular stock replenishment with no storage costs on the customer’s side. Expedited production is available on request.
Design Optimization for Relief — Free Technical Consultation
Before every order we analyze the customer’s artwork and recommend optimizations for the best relief effect — minimum line thickness, recommended relief heights, and surface combinations for maximum contrast. The customer receives a digital preview of the 3D effect and an approved physical prototype before series production begins. Technical consultation is included free with every order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are 3D metal crafted labels and how do they differ from standard aluminum nameplates?
3D metal crafted labels are ultra-thin aluminum labels (0.3 mm) with a spatial relief effect that gives logos, icons, and text visible depth and a tactile 3D character. Unlike flat metal labels, the relief creates a premium visual and haptic impression that increases the perceived value of the product and reinforces brand identity. Standard aluminum nameplates are typically 0.5–3.0 mm thick, flat, and designed primarily for functional industrial identification on equipment, machinery, and control panels. 3D metal crafted labels serve an aesthetic brand identity function rather than a purely functional identification purpose. SITAPRESS combines relief forming with optional screen or digital printing for fine details.
What thickness of aluminium is used for 3D metal crafted labels?
SITAPRESS 3D metal crafted labels are manufactured exclusively from ultra-thin 0.3 mm aluminium. This precise thickness is specifically chosen to provide the optimal balance between structural integrity and flexibility — giving the label sufficient rigidity to maintain its shape and dimensional form while remaining thin enough to conform to curved, oval, and complex product surfaces without cracking or losing adhesion at the edges.
What surface finishes are available for 3D metal crafted labels?
SITAPRESS 3D metal crafted labels are available in brushed satin (hairline), matte (2B), and mirror-polished aluminum base finishes. Colored anodizing is also available in black, gold, red, blue, and additional custom shades matched to Pantone reference samples — producing vibrant, durable brand colors that are highly resistant to UV fading, scratching, and wear over time. The base finish can be combined with selective screen or digital printing for fine graphic details. Samples are available for testing before ordering.
Can 3D metal crafted labels be applied to curved surfaces?
Yes. The ultra-thin 0.3 mm aluminium profile of SITAPRESS 3D metal crafted labels provides excellent flexibility and surface conformity. These labels are specifically designed for seamless application on flat, curved, oval, and moderately complex shaped product surfaces. This makes them ideal for cylindrical housings, rounded product enclosures, cosmetic packaging, portable device casings, and automotive interior components where a standard rigid nameplate would bridge across the curve rather than conforming to it.
How are 3D metal crafted labels mounted on the product?
SITAPRESS 3D metal crafted labels are supplied with pre-applied industrial-grade pressure-sensitive adhesive on the reverse face. The adhesive type is selected specifically for your mounting surface material to ensure clean, precise, and permanent application. The peel-and-stick installation method allows fast and highly repeatable positioning during product assembly without the need for tools, mechanical fasteners, or additional adhesives. Labels are supplied on a release liner for easy individual application.
For which industries and applications are 3D metal crafted labels suitable?
3D metal crafted labels are ideal for premium branding of consumer electronics (speaker, headphone, and tablet logos), home appliances (coffee machines, refrigerators, washing machines), automotive interior accessories, musical instruments, luxury furniture, and gift items. The high visual and tactile impact increases the perceived value of the product.
What is the minimum order quantity and lead time for 3D metal crafted labels?
The minimum order is 1 piece — suitable for prototypes and development phases. Standard lead time is 7–14 business days from artwork approval. The customer receives a physical prototype for approval before series production. SITAPRESS is certified to ISO 9001:2015 (SGS). Quotes are always free and non-binding — we respond within 1–3 hours.
