We primarily use 6063-T5 and 6061-T6 aluminum alloys for mirror frame moulding. These alloys offer:

• Excellent extrudability for complex profiles
• Superior corrosion resistance (critical for bathroom environments)
• High strength-to-weight ratio
• Consistent anodizing results

For automotive applications, we recommend 6061-T6 for its higher tensile strength (310 MPa vs 215 MPa for 6063-T5).

Our MOQ structure is designed to accommodate both large manufacturers and boutique producers:

• Standard profiles: 500 linear meters (no MOQ for existing dies)
• Custom profiles: 1,000 linear meters (includes die creation)
• Prototype/samples: 50 linear meters (available within 7 business days)

We offer flexible terms for first-time customers, including:

• 50% deposit for custom dies
• 30-day payment terms for approved accounts
• Volume discounts starting at 5,000 linear meters

Our quality control system follows these protocols:

1. Raw Material Inspection: 100% batch testing for alloy composition and temper
2. In-Process Monitoring:
   • Real-time temperature monitoring during extrusion
   • Automated dimensional checks at 3 stages
   • Surface defect detection using AI-powered vision systems
3. Final Inspection:
   • 100% visual inspection for surface defects
   • Statistical sampling for dimensional accuracy (±0.3mm tolerance)
   • Salt spray testing (ASTM B117) for anodized finishes
4. Documentation: Full traceability with heat numbers and inspection reports for each batch

Our ISO 9001 certification ensures these processes are consistently applied to every order.

We offer comprehensive surface treatment options to meet aesthetic and functional requirements:

All treatments are available in matte, satin, or gloss finishes. Custom color matching is available for powder coating (minimum 1,000 linear meters).

Our lead times are structured to support your production schedule:

• Standard profiles (in stock): 5-7 business days
• Standard profiles (made to order): 10-15 business days
• Custom profiles (new die creation): 20-25 business days (includes die design and sample approval)
• Rush orders: 3-5 business days (additional 20% fee applies)

For large orders (10,000+ linear meters), we offer:

• Staged deliveries to match your production needs
• Just-in-time inventory management
• Dedicated project manager for orders over 20,000 linear meters

Our average on-time delivery rate is 99.2% (2025 data).

We provide comprehensive packaging and logistics solutions to ensure your aluminum mirror frame moulding arrives damage-free:

Packaging Options:

• Standard: Corrugated boxes with internal foam protection (max 500kg per box)
• Export: Wooden crates with waterproof lining (ISPM 15 compliant)
• Bulk: Palletized bundles with stretch wrap and corner protectors

Shipping Methods:

• Air Freight: 3-5 days to US/Europe (for urgent orders)
• Sea Freight:
  • FCL (Full Container Load): 25-35 days
  • LCL (Less than Container Load): 30-40 days
• Express Courier: 5-7 days (for samples and small orders)

Incoterms:

We support all standard Incoterms including EXW, FOB, CIF, and DDP. Our logistics team can provide:

• Customs clearance assistance
• Real-time shipment tracking
• Insurance coverage up to $100,000 per shipment

Pro Tip: For US customers, we maintain a bonded warehouse in Los Angeles to reduce lead times for repeat orders.

Our engineering team provides end-to-end design support for custom profiles:

1. Concept Development:
   • Review your mirror design requirements
   • Analyze assembly process and tooling constraints
   • Provide feasibility assessment
2. 3D Modeling:
   • Create parametric 3D models in SolidWorks
   • Simulate extrusion process to optimize material flow
   • Generate 2D drawings with GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing)
3. Prototype Production:
   • Manufacture sample profiles for approval
   • Provide material certifications and test reports
   • Support your assembly testing
4. Die Design & Manufacturing:
   • Custom die creation for your profile
   • Die life optimization (typically 50,000-100,000 linear meters)
   • Die maintenance and storage services

Our design services are complimentary for orders over 5,000 linear meters. For smaller orders, we charge a one-time design fee of $800, which is credited toward your first production order.

Design Considerations We Address:

• Wall thickness optimization for strength vs. weight
• Integrated mounting features to reduce assembly time
• Material flow analysis to minimize waste
• Surface finish requirements for anodizing/powder coating
• Compliance with relevant standards (ASTM, EN, etc.)
