Melamine tableware molds can be divided into GLOSSY and MATT FINISHED according to the mold surface appearance. 

• Most of the glossy tableware has decal paper for surface decoration. 
• The matt finished tableware has matte surface and good scratch resistance, so matte or etching black meal trays and salad dishes have been highly respected and wildly used in hotels.

From the pictures above, we see different kinds of matt finished molds quality of bowls. There are 2 ways to do matt finished melamine molds.

1. Smooth matte surface. This type of melamine has no decals on which looks simple, but it has an appearance of quality. 

Before chrome plating, first use glass sand to spray on the surface of the mold cavity to cover the glossy surface part to form a layer like fog; then put it into the pool for chrome plating processing. 

2. Special matte surface with texture. Generally, there are wood etching and stone etching texture. 

First the pattern to be etched on the surface of the mold; the correspondingly designed film is attached to the surface of the mold cavity, and then immersed in a special chemical solution for etching.

Next, use glass sand to spray on the surface of the mold after etching, so the resulting mold is corroded and has a pattern effect.
