Case Study: Custom Logo Design on Aluminum Panels

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.

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:
