Medal customization: gold-plated, silver-plated, nickel-plated which is better?

In the customization of medals, many customers will ask for gold-plated medals, and gold-plated medals are usually shiny. In addition, gold-plated medals are also of high grade, and many people often wonder if they are plated with real gold.
 
In fact, customized medals can be plated with real gold. Electroplated real gold is usually divided into 18K gold, 20K gold and 24K gold. The effect of these real golds will be better, with bright color and strong metallic feeling, and the most important thing is that it is not easy to be oxidized. , which is also particularly easy to store. However, relatively speaking, the price is also much higher, so most customers still choose imitation gold plating. In addition, it can also be divided into high-gloss and matte gold according to the gloss of the surface. The high-gloss is also called bright gold, and the matte gold is also called pearl gold. Generally speaking, the color and metallic feel are inferior to real gold, but for ordinary medals, this is a good choice.

In the medal customization, there is also a process of silver plating, but electroplating is rarely used. This is because silver is a relatively lively metal, and it is very easy to oxidize and turn gray and black, so its color effect is not special. it is good. In addition, the price is also very high, so electroplating silver is not an unsuitable choice. Therefore, most of the medal customization prefer to use nickel plating to achieve the bright silver effect of the medal, and if using nickel plating, it is better than silver plating. The cost is relatively lower, and the characteristics are much more stable.
