Taking Awards & Recognition to New Heights!

The personalised trophy industry is vast with everything from Sports to Gaming being recognised with personalised trophies and medals. The Industry has long used the likes of digital printers for sticker inserts and impact and extraction engravers for glass and metal marking. Time and production costs are a large factor to the end cost of a completed item.

Now is the time to reduce costs, increase productivity and build a wider product offering. Reduce media costs to £0 and increase production by more than 100% - easily achievable by switching to a New MUTOH Direct to Object printer.

Offering an A2+ bed size, the XpertJet 661UF is the perfect solution to medium volume production of awards, recognition products and personalised gifts - with its size making it suitable for use in retail premises, regular offices and home based businesses.

A Legacy of Excellence in German-Made Awards and Gifts:

THE STORY OF DIE NEUE LINIE GmbH Founded in 1952 by Bernhard Schmolke, Die Neue Linie GmbH (DNL) has grown from a small, local manufacturer into one of Europe’s leading producers of high-quality trophies, awards, medals, and gifts. Over the past seven decades, the company has built a strong reputation for its commitment to craftsmanship, quality, and innovation, becoming a trusted name in various industries, from sports to corporate recognition.

From Humble Beginnings to European Presence Since its inception, DNL has focused on producing awards and decorative items crafted from metals and precious materials. In 1968, the company moved its operations to Burgthann, specifically to the Ezelsdorf district, where it still operates today. The company's production facility spans 2,000 square meters, with an additional 2,000 square meters designated for assembly, storage, sales, and administration. This location has served as the cornerstone for its growth and expansion across Europe.

DNL has remained privately owned since its founding, a testament to the company's enduring commitment to quality and control over its operations.

Today, it stands as a leading manufacturer in the competitive awards and gift sector, producing a wide range of products including trophies, medals, sport figures, and unique commemorative gifts.

Upholding the Tradition of German Quality One of the defining aspects of DNL’s success is its unwavering dedication to maintaining production in Germany.

This decision ensures that the company

adheres to the highest standards of craftsmanship, meeting rigorous German regulations and certifications. This commitment to local production is not only about preserving quality but also about staying close to the core values of precision, reliability, and innovation that Germany is known for in manufacturing.

In 1979, Jean-Jacques Hincker, an automation engineer, joined DNL and later became the Managing Director.

His leadership and vision have helped the company maintain its competitive edge, emphasising the ability to respond quickly to customer demands. Hincker notes, “Our greatest advantage is the ability to respond quickly and individually to market and customer needs, which our trading partners deeply value.” This focus on adaptability has been key to DNL's long-standing success in an ever-changing market.

Innovation and Technological Advancements In 2002, Patrick A. Hincker, a qualified industrial engineer, helped modernise DNL’s logistics and data systems, further enhancing the company’s operational efficiency. From 2008 to 2014, he served as co-managing director alongside Jean-Jacques, bringing a strong technological and logistical focus to DNL’s business model. These advancements in technology and infrastructure have allowed the company to scale its operations while still delivering high-quality, personalised products to customers.

Expanding Horizons: Industrial and Premium Products While DNL’s core business revolves around trophies and awards, the company has diversified its product offerings over the years. Through its DNL industrial division, the company specialises in the production and coating

success. The company prides itself on being an employer that values innovation, flexibility, and customer satisfaction, ensuring that each team member plays a vital role in delivering products that exceed expectations.

As Die Neue Linie GmbH looks to the future, its legacy of excellence, innovation, and craftsmanship continues to drive the company forward. Whether creating personalised trophies for sporting events or crafting unique industrial components, DNL remains steadfast in its commitment to quality and its dedication to fulfilling customer needs with precision and care.

Die Neue Linie GmbH: Crafting the Future with a Legacy of Excellence Die Neue Linie GmbH’s ability to adapt, innovate, and maintain its high standards of German craftsmanship has made it a leader in the awards and gift industry. Its long-standing presence in Europe and commitment to producing premium products from metal, pewter, and glass is a testament to its legacy. As the company continues to evolve, DNL’s future looks as promising as its past— shaped by a commitment to quality, driven by technological advancements, and rooted in the traditions of German manufacturing excellence.

WHY ANODISING COULD BE THE FUTURE FOR TROPHY FINISHES When it comes to creating bespoke awards and trophies, one particular finish, due to many factors, has been rising in popularity for the last few years.

Anodising of aluminium trophies is now one of the most popular finishes you can choose, and this is for a variety of reasons.

In this article we’ll explain what anodising is, and why it’s become such a popular finish for awards and trophies. We’ll look at: What is anodising?

Creative opportunities with anodised awards Anodised trophies for enhanced sustainability Caring for an anodised trophy Affordable trophies with a high class finish Bespoke designs for anodised aluminium awards Once you know all about anodising, you’ll see why it’s become such a popular trend for awards and trophies.

What is anodising?

Anodising is an electrochemical process that is used to strengthen and protect aluminium by creating a layer of

34

TROPHY & ENGRAVING NEWS

aluminium oxide on its surface.

This layer can be electrolytic coloured or dyed to create the ideal finish both in design, durability and a multitude of vibrant colours.

Creative opportunities with anodised awards One of the biggest benefits of anodising over other metal finishes, is that there are numerous opportunities to create unique and original designs.

Colour variations You can colour aluminium in several different ways during the anodisation process.

One is electrolytic, where after the aluminium is anodised, it goes through a second electrolytic process to fill the pores in the aluminium with a metalbased colouring. Common colours include black, blue, brown and bronze and are commonly derived from tin, cobalt, nickel or copper.

Another popular method is dyeing, where a coloured dye is added during the initial anodisation process and is absorbed into the pores of the anodised surface.

This is a particularly popular method as it can produce a much wider range of colours.

Premium finish The standard anodised finish is a premium looking satin effect. This offers a beautiful, contemporary and modern style that gives a very different aesthetic to more traditional finishes such as plating or powder coating.

Striking engraving When you colour anodised aluminium, the metal underneath the top layer stays silver. That means that when the trophy is laser engraved, you cut through to that bright layer underneath.

Engraved anodised trophies have a sharp, striking finish as the engraved area shows through in silver as the laser

effectively removes the coating.

This allows for wonderful elaborate patterns, logos and images to be engraved with pin sharp precision and clarity.

Anodised trophies for enhanced sustainability One of the advantages of using aluminium anodising is that you can create a more sustainable award.

Because aluminium is easily recyclable, and the process itself isn’t energy intensive, anodised awards can be more environmentally friendly than some other materials or finishes.

Recycled anodised aluminium trophies At EFX we use up to 79% recycled aluminium for our trophies, and because of the nature of aluminium, those trophies can also easily be recycled again, indefinitely.

That means we’re keeping as much of the aluminium as possible in circulation, rather than using more.

It’s also easier to recycle these awards than it is to recycle a plated trophy.

That’s because the aluminium oxide layer is fused with the aluminium underneath, and doesn’t need to be stripped off before recycling can happen.

Lower energy consumption Electroplating is an energy-intensive process, whereas the process of anodisation takes a lot less power.

However, one area where anodising does consume more resources is water.

This is why at EFX we have an on-site water treatment plant, to not only ensure that the waste water from this process is made safe but is recycled to be used again and again.

Caring for an anodised trophy An anodised finish typically means that your award can be easier to keep clean, Not only is an anodised trophy nonfading, it’ll maintain its finish longer without cleaning than a plated award and because the process bonds the colour to the metal, it’s also very durable.

Easy care Because your award won’t tarnish, it means you don’t need to worry about polishing it to keep it looking its best.

You will need to make sure that when you clean it you use a non pH cleaner, but most standard multi-purpose cleaners will be suitable.

Affordable trophies with a high quality finish The last big reason to choose an anodised award is a straightforward one – it can be more cost effective than a plated trophy.

The biggest factor in this is that you don’t need to splash out on any precious metal such as silver or gold – but still get the beautiful, premium finish you’re looking for.

Bespoke designs for anodised aluminium awards With so much going for them around pricing, sustainability, longevity and creativity, it’s easy to see why anodised trophies are growing in popularity.

If you’re interested in creating a bespoke anodised aluminium award for your event, business, competition or awards evening, our design team would love to hear from you.

Telephone: +44 (0) 1789 450 005 Email: award@efx.co.uk Visit: www.efx.co.uk

The recycling process for aluminium also requires around 5% of the energy required to produce new aluminium, so it’s a fantastic choice if you’re keen to show the sustainability of your award or brand.
