KINGO style shiny sidewall (hot-stamping) series:

Principally is to use hot-stamping on all sidewalls, thereby presenting the same shiny color effects such as fully plated chrome or gold, as an ideal alternative to replacing the liquid process of electroplating onto all surfaces.:

Take for example, an assembly serving as a Smartphone Nest per picture below. Some KINGO hot-stamped bricks are used, serving as the gold deco bands/trim. As can be seen, these hot-stamped bricks proves the same visual effect as that of the fully plated style bricks..

Uniqueness and merits:

l  Since it is possible to make the color of the substrate in harmony with the hot-stamp foil colors, hence, while the top and bottom of the bricks remaining unchanged per the substrate color, the hot-stamped colors on the sidewalls will carry a two tone sense of beauty to the overall aesthetics per below:

l  Since most bricks on the market have plane surfaces at the sidewalls, such hot-stamping process can also be applicable.

l  Under this KINGO style hot-stamping, since the studs on the top side and the recesses on the bottom sides are untouched, therefore, the dimensions and tolerances will remain totally unaffected by such process.

l  Compared to the liquid electroplating process, costs under the KINGO hot-stamping can be greatly reduced.

l  It will totally avoid the environmental impact (mainly water pollution) caused by electroplating, without other possible side effects.
