What is Anodization?
An electrochemical process that grows a hard oxide layer into the aluminum surface and seals color inside it. Because the color lives in the metal rather than on top, it cannot chip, peel or scratch off.

Knowledge base
Answers, in plain language
Anodized aluminum or vacuum metallized resin?
Choose anodized aluminum for weight, durability and full recyclability. Choose metallized resin for complex geometry, lighter parts and lower tooling cost at the same visual quality.
How much PCR content can aluminum packaging carry?
evercycle™ is certified at 100% recycled aluminum with 99% post-consumer content in production. Our HRC alloy runs 68% PCR. Both take satin and matte finishing at medium brightness.
What tooling lead time should I plan for?
Engineering review starts at concept. Rapid 3D prototypes come back in days; production tooling and first article timing depend on geometry and decoration, and we quote both up front.
