Other Services

Screen Printing

PMA PHOTOMETALS offers industrial screen printing of parts as a part of your project, or can provide industrial screen printing services as a stand alone service.

Painting

Utilizing automated and manual processes, PMA PHOTOMETALS can provide professional paint finishing to your project to meet your specifications.

Anodization

Anodizing increases resistance to corrosion and wear, and provides better adhesion for paint primers and glues than bare metal. Most commonly applied to protect aluminum parts, PMA PHOTOMETALS can provide anodization services as part of your project or on a stand alone basis.

Passivation

Passivation is widely-used metal finishing process to prevent corrosion. The chemical treatment leads to a protective oxide layer, or passivation film, that is less likely to chemically react with air and cause corrosion. PMA PHOTOMETALS can provide passivation services for your project or on a stand alone basis.

Packaging Services

PMA PHOTOMETALS provides consumer and industrial packaging services for a number of its customers – both in large quantities and small production runs. We are well equipped to produce your packaging in-house or utilize your packaging from another supplier – either way we can provide you with professional packaging services if you require retail-ready packaging.
