What is Commercial Plating?
Commercial plating is the process of applying a thin, durable layer of metal, such as gold, copper, nickel, zinc, rhodium, silver, or chrome, to components, parts, or products on an industrial or large-scale basis. Unlike retail plating, which is carried out for individual jewellery or personal items, commercial plating services are designed for manufacturers, trade customers, and production lines that require consistent, high-quality finishes across multiple items.
Why Businesses Use Commercial Plating
Enhancing appearance
Metals such as gold, silver, and rhodium give products a premium decorative finish, making them ideal for luxury items, jewellery components, or branded accessories.
Improving performance
Nickel, copper, and chrome plating provide durability, wear resistance, and corrosion protection, while metals like gold and silver offer excellent conductivity for electronics, engineering, & precision components.
Batch consistency
Commercial plating ensures every component or product meets the same high-quality standards, critical for manufacturing efficiency and customer satisfaction.
