Different materials support different branding techniques. Stainless steel is commonly paired with laser engraving for a clean, permanent logo. Aluminum works well with photo etching, allowing precise logo details and clear contrast. Zinc alloy is suitable for die-cast inserts or dimensional metal logos, which can add depth and texture to the coaster design.
For daily usability, the back side can include EVA anti-slip pads, cork backing, or velvet fabric, helping prevent scratches on tabletops while keeping the coaster stable during use. These structural options allow buyers to choose the right combination of material, production method, and finish based on budget, branding style, and usage environment.
