Promotional torches come in many different styles and colors, and it really all depends on what sort of image your company is trying to project when you make a decision about what kind of style you would like to emulate when designing your promotional torch. Choosing to design a metal promotional torch can convey several different images of your company; both based on the finishing used on the metal, as well as any colorants as well as the design of the overall torch. The careful product designer, or manager, must take into account all of these different parameters when designing a metal promotional torch for their corporation.

Choosing a finishing color for your metal promotional torches is a big step in creating the final product design. You will want to choose a color that clearly states that the torch is in fact metal. A metal promotional torch covered by thick layer of plastic looking pigment is counter intuitive, and you are probably better off just going with a plastic torch in the first place.

Many believe that a promotional torch made of metal is more durable, therefore nothing less should be chosen. This is not true, on many accounts. A torch is not one of those promotional products that you will expect to last forever. It is suppose to amuse your clientele, and help them out should they be faced with a blackout. You should not expect a promotional torch to be around for years, therefore a metal torch should be purchased strictly for the design appeal.

Putting a brushed finish on a raw metal promotional torch is an attractive option, this clearly shows that the torch is metallic and brushed metal finishes are quite popular nowadays. If you simply have to have a colored torch then you’ll want to choose a translucent finish that retains the reflective qualities of the metal but adds a colored pigments to the surface. In fact these translucent finishes can actually be stacked with other textural finishes such as brushing or cross hatch patterns. Together these two finishes will give your metal promotional torch a very attractive exterior.

Slender is usually better when designing the physical casing of a metal promotional torch. This is for two reasons; one model is more expensive to machine than plastic, so you will want to use as little material as possible to keep costs down on what should be a fairly inexpensive promotional item. Secondly bulky metal promotional torches just don’t look as good as slim ones. Metal should be sleek and attractive, not bulky and cartoonish; that is the realm of plastic products.
