Plastic label manufacturers
« on: August 12, 2024, 12:13:15 pm »
I was wondering if anyone knows a label printing company in China.
I would like to have similar workflow as in PCB ordering. Online quotes, payments and generally hassle free ordering, where I don't have to have back and forth emails with someone for days. Example of some random labels below (not my design)

Do you have a suggestion?

JR Panel has online ordering, instant quotes and reasonably fast turn around. I've only used them once, but the experience was pretty good. They can also integrate membrane switches.

LCSC now has a front panel service https://www.lcsc.com/front-panel
I have not tried it, but I would not be surprised if there were some sponsored youtube videos showing it and talking about the process.

By the looks of it they are working with ~100 EUR setup costs, which is a bit steep for my liking.

Good idea. It's not as automated as I was hoping, but I'll give it a try.

Can you also recommend a service like that for cutting aluminum front panels? (I used JLCPCB for that before but now I need 2.5mm thick plates which is more than they do)

I know this is off topic, but I haven't done a real production PCB order (ie not 5 pieces of prototype spec) from any of the Chinese manufacturers without at least 3 or 4 days of one email a night back and forth before everything is sorted out.... Just saying...
