Case Study: Custom Logo Design on Aluminum Panels
Custom CNC machined front panels and frames for electronic devices, precision crafted

Custom logos on aluminum panels not only enhance a product’s appearance but also strengthen brand identity. Whether for industrial control panels, electronic devices, or consumer products, a well-executed logo adds a professional and recognizable touch.

At Pumaycase, we use advanced techniques such as laser engraving, silk-screen printing, and UV printing to create durable, high-quality custom logos on aluminum surfaces.

Here’s a real-world example of how we helped a client with logo customization.


Case 1: Laser-Engraved Logo for an Industrial Control Panel

Client: Industrial Automation Company\
Project: Aluminum front panel for an industrial control system\
Logo Style: Minimalist, engraved logo with a metallic finish

Challenge:

The client needed a logo that could withstand harsh environments, including high temperatures and chemical exposure, without fading or peeling.

Solution:

We recommended laser engraving for the logo, as it offers:

  • High durability: Resistant to wear, heat, and chemical exposure
  • Permanent marking: No risk of peeling or fading over time
  • Sleek metallic finish: Matches the panel’s anodized surface

Process:

  • We received the client’s vector logo file in AI format.
  • The logo was precisely engraved using a high-power laser on the anodized aluminum panel.
  • The final result was a clean, professional logo that blended seamlessly with the panel’s surface.

Result:

  • The logo remained intact and legible after extensive durability testing, including chemical resistance and thermal cycling.

  • The client was impressed with the elegant, industrial-grade appearance of the logo.

Case 2: Full-Color UV Printed Logo for a Consumer Electronics Panel

Client: Startup in Consumer Electronics\
Project: Custom aluminum panel for a smart home device\
Logo Style: Full-color logo with gradient effects

Challenge:

The client wanted a colorful logo with precise color reproduction and a glossy finish. The logo also needed to withstand frequent handling and minor abrasions.

Solution:

We used UV printing, which provides:

  • Vivid, full-color reproduction: Supports gradients and complex designs
  • Abrasion resistance: Protects the logo from scratches
  • Glossy or matte finish options: For a premium look

Process:

  • We color-matched the logo using a Pantone reference provided by the client.
  • The UV printer applied the logo directly onto the aluminum panel with a protective coating.

Result:

  • The final product featured a vibrant, full-color logo with excellent durability.

  • The client received positive feedback from customers on the device’s sleek and polished design.

Challenge:

The client needed a clean, high-contrast logo that complied with medical standards for durability and chemical resistance.

Solution:

We used silk-screen printing with high-durability inks that resist cleaning agents and wear.

Process:

  • The logo was printed in white on a black anodized aluminum surface for maximum contrast.
  • After printing, the panel underwent a curing process to ensure ink adhesion and durability.

Result:

  • The logo remained clear and legible even after repeated cleaning with disinfectants.

  • The client was pleased with the professional, medical-grade appearance.

Tips for Successful Logo Customization on Aluminum Panels

  1. Use High-Quality Vector Files: Ensure your logo is in vector format (AI, EPS) for maximum precision.
  2. Choose the Right Technique: Consider durability, appearance, and application environment when selecting the logo process.
  3. Plan for Surface Treatments: Anodizing or powder coating may affect logo adhesion—coordinate the design with surface finishing plans.
