Medallions, by the score.

Who among you would have ever guessed these hands would be making such a thing? They’re beautiful in their simplicity and as detailed as you’d like. From a simple logo to fine details can be made, because they’re primarily printed.

The foundation is cast acrylic, though it be cast acrylic infused with steel chips. They are then carefully printed on thin vinyl coated brushed steel, and affixed to the acrylic – all by hand. After this process is complete, they are layered if that is what the design calls for, and then encapsulated in a resin which is UV resistant.

We’re now almost done.  The last step is to affix adhesives to the back form cut to shape.  It’s not ‘just’ an adhesive, either – it’s the real deal.  The stuff auto makers use to attach badges; the stuff used to hold windows in frameless mounts that hang hundreds of feet above your head in high rises – good stuff, in other words.   This feature makes them very useful for both the purpose of decoration – and also more.  More on that in a few…. 

The final product will last years and years.  As a for instance, if they’re affixed to a vehicle as they usually are either on the windows, a body panel, or a bumper, they’ll last as long as that vehicle.  They won’t fade nor deteriorate, and they’re as easy to care for as simply washing your car. 

Think a little outside the box, now, and a little further than simple decoration.  These can be used as identifiers- for towns for things such as re-entry badges, or golf cart or boat ramp passes, or golf cart registration.  They can be used by gated or controlled entry businesses, residences, or parking garages as registration, too.  There are sensible car sales organizations that have ditched the cheap stickers and opted for these- they are a class above stickers. 

There are a lot of other uses, too, yet all uses just want them to send a message.  And, they do.  It’s loud and clear while remaining refined.
