Fine metal finisher, DCHN, employs long-life and durable printing and laser-marking techniques for identification and traceability of aluminum anodized parts.

Woonsocket, RI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/03/2014 --As an industry leader in innovative anodizing and fine metal finishing, DCHN LLC demonstrates full-service capabilities focused on aluminum anodizing and hard coat. DCHN now offers streamlined, managed solutions in bundled anodic coating packages that include in-house embedded printing, epoxy ink, and laser-marking services. Aluminum anodized parts and equipment require printing and marking for many reasons: identification, branding, regulatory compliance, and instructions, amongst others. In all these cases, DCHN can help meet the needs of manufacturing companies, including medical device manufacturers who are preparing for the implementation of the Unique Device Identification (UDI) system recently announced by the FDA.

Following an engineering assessment of the parts to be anodized, DCHN’s printing team can complete the job using conventional silkscreen printing, laser-marking techniques, or Sanford Print—an embedded and indestructible print below the coating surface. DCHN recently published a white paper, “7 Variables to Consider when Printing and Marking on Aluminum Anodized Substrates on Medical Devices,” which throws valuable insight into the optimal printing selection process.

David DiBiasio, Sales Manager for DCHN said, “Our state-of-the-art facility and highly skilled staff enable us to offer this combination of an extensive range of anodizing capabilities and printing methods—all under one roof, delivered per customer specifications—while significantly saving them time, money, and worry by eliminating the use of multiple supplier.”
