Many etched parts require a plated finish. Reel-to-reel etching capabilities provide an ideal opportunity to use continuous reel-to-reel plating processes as well.

 

These allow high throughput and cost effective finishing with excellent uniformity. Localized spot or stripe plating of precious and other metals is possible because our etched parts are on precise pitch so we can match plating location to the critical areas of the product.
