Although the custom muffler branding tags in this blog post are business card sized and red, CNCROi.com can of course customize it to any color you want, metal type or size you want (including any thickness).
The advantage of using CNCROi.com‘s laser over screen or UV printing for this specific run of custom muffler branding tags is that the engraving is completely permanent, it will not fade, crack or peel over time.
CNCROi.com has a lot of applications where we make custom anodized aluminium solutions for customers across a variety of industries.

The bright light you see is the interaction between the laser and the anodizing layer on the aluminium business card sized custom muffler branding tags.
The resolution CNCROi.com can achieve on these custom muffler branding tags is incredible, even the smallest detail in the black and white vector comes out sharp, clear and clean, permanently staying that way.

Whether we are cutting or engraving anodized aluminium, the process of making what you see in this page is the same, get it to the size the customer wants it to be at their spec, including holes, and then stick it in the laser to produce the finished product that’s then shipped to their front door.
For these custom muffler branding tags, there are no holes required as the customer will be using an industrial adhesive to stick them on the muffler, but if you required riveting holes, that’s not a problem for CNCROi.com to do for you.
Have some questions about anodized aluminium? This will hopefully answer many of them.

Regarding how much coverage you can have on the custom muffler branding tags specifically, we don’t need to worry about material warping from the heat of the laser hitting the tag as we would with stainless steel alternatives which CNCROi.com also produces.
As such, you can essentially have the entire surface covered with designs of all kinds and they’d all come out as precise as only one small element.
Of course, anodized aluminium also has applications in everyday life such as custom dashboards in cars.

Due to the heat and very harsh environment a custom muffler branding tags will be living in, the only possible alternative would be to make these out of stainless steel as any plastics would break apart pretty fast, this includes options from lamacoids to acrylics or even polycarbonates.
Keep in mind that with anodizing, the process itself, unlike paint, will have some tonal variation in the same batch, as such, some red will be more red than others, the difference is slight but it’s definitely there.
Regarding color for these custom muffler branding tags, you can have RED, dark red or light red, but there is no color matching or pantone colors, as such, if you want it to be a specific shade, then the tags need to be either printed or painted but even then, there will be slight variations in the production run.
There is a plus and minus to every material, here’s a video that shows you what is possible and why CNCROi.com and the customer agreed that for their specific application, this was the way to go.

You’ll notice that each one of these custom muffler branding tags is also produced one at a time essentially, as such, you can totally have different design parameters in the same production run to further customize each and every tag.
So what happens if we perform multiple passes on the same card? We just get more and more depth, though the resolution and the clarity doesn’t really change, as such, if we are doing deep etching, stainless steel is a better choice.
You can now see what the custom muffler branding tags look like now that this small batch is finished, notice how the light exaggerates the shade of red at the very start (to the left of the image below), this is a slight tonal change, it isn’t anywhere this extreme though in real life.
Anodized aluminium is wonderful for a wide variety of applications far beyond only custom muffler branding tags.

You have to keep in mind that the lighting at CNCROi.com isn’t very good, certainly not anything you’d want to have for photographs, as such, there is some slight tonal variation but it’s far more minor than the photos are showing, there is also lighting coming from within the machine itself so it’s adding a lot of additional color profiles to each of the cards.
You can see how sharp the engraving produced by CNCROi.com is, the camera has trouble focusing due to lighting but you can see how clear the cards actually are in the photo below, the bottom card (top one is out of focus from the camera).
The color you are seeing for the card is red but the “white” you see from the engraving process is off-white, it isn’t a pure white, just the camera is auto-correcting and the light in the shop also plays a role, it looks awesome though!
