For automotive manufacturers and aftermarket brands, the rear badge is the final signature of quality on a vehicle. Traditionally, achieving a high-end "Chrome" look meant using heavy, rigid ABS plastic or expensive metal castings.

At Nantong Xingyan Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., we have redefined this standard with our SoftEmblem™ technology. Our flexible 3D chrome letter trunk emblems offer the prestigious aesthetic of traditional chrome with the versatile performance of modern polymer science.

Our Signature SoftEmblem™ Production Process

Unlike standard flat decals, a SoftEmblem is a highly engineered 3D component. Our process focuses on durability, flexibility, and a mirror-like finish.

1. Advanced Multi-Layer Composition

We start with a specialized, pre-made metal-like film. This isn't a single material but a sophisticated stack designed for the automotive environment:

  • PMMA (Acrylic): The top "clear coat" that provides deep gloss and protects the emblem from UV yellowing and scratches.

  • PET: Provides the thermal stability required to handle extreme summer heat on a car's trunk.

  • PVC or Resin: This flexible core is the "memory" of the emblem, allowing it to bend and conform to curved rear hatches.

  • ABS: The layer that creates the authentic metallic luster, mimicking polished chrome, silver, or gold.

2. Precision 3D Hot Stamping

The heart of our technology is the hot stamping process. We use heat and high-pressure molds to "sculpt" the multi-layer film into raised 3D shapes. This creates the crisp, defined edges seen on luxury vehicle lettering, giving your brand a tactile, premium presence.

3. Screen Printing for Custom Branding

To add color or specific branding elements, we utilize industrial screen printing. This allows us to:

  • Add deep black accents to "Black Chrome" editions.

  • Match corporate brand colors with perfect Pantone accuracy.

  • Ensure the color is "trapped" beneath the protective layers so it never fades or peels.

4. Adhesive Application & Die-Cutting

Every rear badge is finished with a high-bond, weather-resistant automotive adhesive. We then die-cut and trim the emblem to its final shape. This precision trimming ensures that each letter is individual, sharp, and ready for a seamless "peel-and-stick" application on the vehicle trunk.

A: 15 days (open the mold+make a sample).Normally delivery time is within 2weeks for bulk order.We achieve a monthly production capacity of 500,000 soft emblems.

A: Most consumers want the premium look of chrome or gold but without the weight and corrosion of real metal. At "Nantong Xingyan Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd", we solve this through our "SoftEmblem" technology. Unlike basic "plastic stickers", our process uses a pre-made metal-like film (PET + PVC/Resin + PMMA + ABS) that is "hot-stamped" into a 3D shape. This creates a genuine "metal texture" and high-end "brand letterings" that are indistinguishable from traditional metal, while remaining lightweight and flexible.

A: Standard rigid "plastic name badges" often fail on modern aerodynamic car bodies because they cannot bend, leading to "edge lifting." Our "car brand badges" are specifically designed to "perfectly conform to curved surfaces". Because the SoftEmblem is pliable, it hugs the contours of the vehicle’s hood or tailgate, ensuring the adhesive bond remains permanent even on complex 3D shapes.

A: Many traditional "car emblem" processes involve electroplating, which creates significant chemical pollution. Our SoftEmblem process is "free from electroplating pollution". We use a "hot stamping process" and eco-friendly films, providing a sustainable, "green" branding solution for the automotive and "motorcycle emblem" industries without sacrificing the luxurious metallic finish.

A: Rigid metal or stamped steel badges can have dangerously sharp edges. A key feature of our "SoftEmblem" is that it is "gentle on the hands" with "no sharp edges". This makes it the ideal choice for high-touch areas. Whether you are installing "car letters" or cleaning your vehicle, our "soft-touch" design ensures total safety for the user.

A: Traditional metals are prone to corrosion. We use * * SoftEmblem * * composite material (PET+Resin/pvc+PMMA+ABS) to provide a true metallic texture without electroplating pollution.

A: Look at thickness, SoftEmblem can be designed with 3D effects ranging from 0.5mm to within 8mm,metallic texture, and edge treatment. "SoftEmblem * * has 3D depth perception and no sharp edges.
