Available Finishes
Powder Coating
Provides additional durability to bare aluminum surfaces and comes in a wide range of eye-catching colors.
Anodizing
Creates a controlled oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum to enhance its corrosion resistance, appearance, and durability.
Film Over Layment
This process enhances the substrate's properties, such as moisture resistance, barrier properties, printability, and overall durability
We offer a wide range of different finishes. See below for some samples
