Secondary processes aim for part surface decoration or protection, which will greatly improve the product appearance or durability in extreme environments. At ACO Mold, we provide you with many options to meet your specific needs, ensuring your components are ready for their intended application.
Beyond surface aesthetics, some secondary processes focus on the structural integrity of assembled parts.
Ideal for creating strong, threaded metal bosses in plastic housings. We use thermal energy to embed brass inserts into molded plastic parts, providing a robust connection point for screws that withstands vibration and repeated assembly.
A fast and efficient method for joining thermoplastic components. Using high-frequency vibrations, we create a molecular bond between parts without the need for adhesives or fasteners, ensuring a clean, watertight seal.
Enhance the visual appeal and tactile experience of your products with our decorative processes.
Perfect for applying multi-color logos, text, and graphics onto flat or slightly curved surfaces. This method offers excellent ink adhesion for a durable finish on appliances, electronics, and consumer goods.
Including Oil Spraying for a soft-touch, rubber-like grip, and high-gloss finishes. Our painting processes improve aesthetics and provide an additional layer of protection against scratches and UV exposure.
Applied to both plastic and metal substrates, chrome plating delivers a brilliant, mirror-like finish. This process not only enhances the decorative appeal of automotive trims and fixtures but also adds a layer of corrosion resistance.
A non-contact process that creates permanent, high-contrast markings such as serial numbers, barcodes, and logos. Laser engraving does not affect the structural integrity of the part and is ideal for traceability and branding.

Beyond individual surface finishes, we offer Value-Added Assembly Services to simplify your supply chain. By combining processes like Ultrasonic Welding and Heat Staking, we can deliver fully assembled components ready for retail or installation, saving you time and logistics costs.
Please free no hesitation to ask questions.
A: Laser Engraving uses a laser beam to remove material, creating a permanent, high‑contrast mark ideal for serial numbers and barcodes. Silk Screen Printing applies ink to the surface, allowing for multi‑color graphics and is best for logos on curved surfaces.
A: Yes. We often combine Chrome Plating (for aesthetics) with Heat Staking (for structural integrity). We ensure the plating process does not interfere with the functional performance of the assembled parts.
A: Absolutely. Our Oil Spraying process creates a “soft‑touch” rubberized coating that is resistant to sweat, oils, and abrasion, making it ideal for remote controls and electronic grips.
