Chrome-plated injection moulding vs LunaKrome™ - spot the difference?

Written by Michael Smith | 18-Oct-2021 05:15:09

Take a look at two badge comparisons. R or GXL? Anthem or Trident? In each of these photos, one of the badges is a traditional rigid injection moulded and chrome plated badge, and the other is a revolutionary LunaKrome™ badge.

Can you pick the difference?

If you guessed GXL or Trident were the LunaKrome™ badges, you are correct! As you can see from the image below, LunaKrome™ badges can be applied to curved surfaces with ease, a feat not possible with rigid chrome injection moulding. 

LNI’s very own LunaKrome™ 3D chrome badging is just like chrome-plated injection moulding, but it is flexible so it can be applied to curved or textured surfaces. It is the badging technology of choice for leading automotive brands including Holden, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Mercedes Benz, BMW and many more. Just imagine how it could transform your product branding!

LunaKrome™ is not only suited to cars – but it is also widely used for high-quality badging in the RV & Marine industry, used on trucks, boats, caravans and more.

It is not just the flexibility that makes LunaKrome™ the better choice than traditional rigid chrome-plated injection moulding. It also offers quick turnaround times, is affordable and offers so much scope in terms of design. And it is Australian Made, so you are supporting local!
