Shaped Paper Clips
Shaped Paper Clips,are the bent metal wires in short distances made into different
shapes:animals,Christmas,vehicles etc.These custom paper clips have multiple
uses for not only your home environment,school,library,party,wedding…but also
the business purpose as the promotional gifts to show the uniqueness and
distinctiveness,and finally keep your business brand out in this crowded
market.
Also these cute paper clips can be made into a variety
of different colors and sizes.They are not only the cute
stationery and creative bookmarks for decoration as decorative
paper clips,but also the unique gifts for your next promotion,or show
your affection.
Material
The wires of shaped paper clips are PVC/vinyl coat wrapped iron wire,or galvanized iron wire.
The galvanized or bare iron wire are usually easy to
rust,so usually the manufacturers wrap a PVC coat around the wire.Also PVC coat
could have a lot of colors via plastic color-matching.The accomplishment could
be done by using the pigments and color master batches.
Using pigments is just to put it into the plastic which need
to be colored,and stir them.
Using color master batch is a very prevalent coloring method
in the plastic production craftwork via injection moulding.Before the
production of injecting,it would need you to put the articles of color master
batches into the plastic material to stir.
Compared with the pigments,comparatively using color master
batches will be more well-distributed and environmental than pigments.The
production process of color master batch particles is to put the pigment into
the resin carrier,at the meantime,adding some dispersing agents to increase the
flow-ability and dispersing ability,and some other additive agents to improve
the product quality.
The wire material in different diameters are for different
usage of products.
In normal circumstance,in the permission of facilities,iron
wires can be made into any wire gauges according to the requests,both in
thick,or in thin.But normally it would be more than
Iron wires are pulled to be made of low-carbon steel.Roll
the molten plantchet into steel bars in the thickness of
Under the conduction of wire drawing machine drum,the steel
wire rods have to be through husking, phosphorization, saponification,pass
through the wire drawing hole (This is to get rid of the iron oxidized tablets
and rustiness to phosphatize,and saponify which will help for the next drawing)
which leads to the decrease of the section configuration to get the
dimensions,shapes and function as planned.Wire-pulling usually need to proceed
many times.The area reduction is about 10%-40%.
For traditional and conventional paper clips,we usually use
the iron wire in the diameter of 1.0
For jumbo paper clips,or hat
clips,then we would have to use thicker wires such as 1.40,
Technology
Machine or hand made.
As we can find out,spring machine can make a lot of regular
shapes,such as pentacle,rectangle,square,triangle,and any simple
animals,fishes,vehicles etc.For some complicated shaped paper clips,usually
they are made of octopus machines with computer control.The machine-made paper
clips are fairly flat,durable neat,pretty,stylish and fast,efficient to be
made.
Also,for some very complicated ones,we also could make them
by hand,we make a certain quantity of molds upon the artwork design of the
custom paper clips as customers request.then organize a teamwork to finish the
work of orders.Hand-made technology can accomplish to make some very
complicated shapes because hands are more flexible and adjustable while
machines are usually kind of mechanical.
Colors
The technology of making colors includes:
Polyethylene(PE) colors
Paint-sprey colors
Vinyl coated colors
Electroplated colors (silver,gold,rose gold,red,black...etc)
Electrophoretic colors
Oxidized colors
The default material we use for paperclips is Polyethylene(PE) wire if customers have no special requests on.
Besides the standard
colors(red,yellow,blue,black,orange,green,pink…) in our stock,they also could
be made into any custom PMS colors of Pantone with a certain quantity. But the
minimum quantities are different for different technologies of these wire paper
clips.
The minimum quantity for paint-sprey paper clips with PMS
colors are usually about 30 000-50 000 pieces per shape per color.But the
shortcoming is: paint-sprey colors are easily brushed off.The manufacturer has
to make the shaped paper clips first in galvanized or bare iron wires
first,then sprey the colored paint around the wires according to the requests
of customers,put them on the wire netting with tiny pores,and have them baked
in coal-scuttles to make the paint fasten around the iron wire.
(1) As for the PMS colors of PVC/vinyl coated
iron wire,the minimum quantity will be much bigger.It would be about 100 000
pieces per shape per color. The diversification of vinyl colors offers a possibility
to make the paper clips more colorful and beautiful,while the convential paper
clips usually follow the same patten-eletroplated silver.With the application
of these colored material,they are more and more used for decoration as
decorative paper clips.The color-making are usually done via using pigments and
color master batches as mentioned above,under the section of “Material”.Most of
people probably do not want that much except for really heavy hitters,companies
of promotional gifts,or big professional importer in the field of
stationery,art and craft.The flexible way is to use our standard colors.Try to
choose a color as similar as possible to what you expect to get.By this way,you
could get the custom shaped paper clips in small quantities.You could contact
us to get what colors we presently in stock,then choose one,or some of them
from the color chart. Presently we usually using vinyl coated colors for the
convenience and cost saving.
(2) If you are looking for the glossy
colors,then the electroplated colors would be a perfect choice which usually
have a nice luster. Electroplated colors usually includes:gold,silver,antique
brass,antique copper,bronze,black,rose gold,violet,white zinc,blue
zinc,claret(wine red),gun metal...etc.From the electroplating technology,it
could be divided into rack plating,barrel plating for the paper clips as far as
I learn.Surely there are also brush plating,pulse plating,elctroless
plating…but not sure they works for wire paper clips yet.And nowadays the cost
of electroplating is also terribly high,especiall the costs of gold
electroplating is more expensive than these novelty paper clips themselves!
(3) Electrophoretic color textures have
sub-gloss,gloss.The colors usually depend on the electrophoretic paints.Basically
it has red,green,yellow,blue,black.We presently seldom use electrophoretic
colors for these custom shaped paper clips.
(4) Oxidized colors we usually fill include
grass green,red,black etc.They are also not the frequently-used colors for
the wire paper clips.They sometimes are used for the flat aluminum
bookmarks.
