Getting a high quality commemorative plate is a massive advantage to you because it'll last for many years, remaining an important treasure of yours. However, while quality helps in keeping your plate for a long time, you'll also need to be mindful of how you use and move the plate. Carelessness can lead to the destruction of your priced commemorative plates but don't worry so much, here are some tips you can follow to ensure your plates last for as long as possible.
Quality Assurance
There are various materials that can be used to prepare a commemorative plate. Before you select a specific item for your plate, you should be sure of the quality of that material as that is what will be the backbone of your plate when it is formed. A commemorative plate made of low quality material is sure not to last. Ceramic tableware manufacturers usually have a team that specializes only in quality control and here's how they verify a well made commemorative plate. This quality control stretches across other materials too.
Material Testing: The quality control team will first verify the material for your plate, testing how durable it is along with other factors. After this, the production begins and the plate is given form which then leads to the next step, dimension accuracy. The team verifies that the plate has been made according to the correct measurement example 6.5, 8 or 10.3 before it's approved for the next step. After confirming that the dimensions of the plate is correct, the plate is visually observed for any cracks or bumps and if there's none, the plate is allowed to move on for further production.
Quality Control Process: After the material is confirmed to be suitable for making a commemorative plate, the manufacturing process begins. Even during this period, the pre-formed plate will still undergo careful analysis to ensure no error has been made. Finally there's another analysis of the plate when it's fully prepared and ready to be shipped. If there are still no issues with the plate, it will be allowed to be shipped. On some occasions, a professional third party will be hired to check the plate for any defect, sometimes during custom plate production, the client is called to check and verify that the plate is made to their taste.
Design Precision: In this quality control aspect, the plate is observed carefully to ensure that the design is aligned correctly. Colour consistency is also noted along with border precision. Design Precision checking isn't usually concerned with the material of the plate but focuses more on the textual and graphical components on the plate.
Maintenance Guidelines
Upon getting your commemorative plate, you'll have to be very careful with them. In fact, look at them like they are prized possessions. These plates require a specific way to maintain them that will ensure they remain the same for as long as possible.
