Plastic Ornaments for Caskets
Plastic Ornaments for Caskets
Plastic ornaments account for 41 items, the largest decorative family in the catalogue. Every piece in this family is decorative. A buyer should confirm the finish and the size, and should not ask for a load rating or a load-test record, because decorative pieces carry neither.
The ornaments are ABS or PP injection mouldings, vacuum metallised and coloured gold, silver, copper or bronze, with some ABS available in antique brass or antique copper. They are applied to the casket as decoration, and their value is in their appearance and their consistency with the handles and fittings on the same casket.
Because this is the largest decorative family, it is also the family where a finish mismatch is most visible: 41 different motifs in the wrong colour would spoil a casket that is otherwise correctly specified. The finish guide therefore treats ornaments as a set with the handles, not as an afterthought, and recommends a physical sample for the finish.
The minimum order quantity varies by product, lead time is typically 30 days after order confirmation, and payment is by telegraphic transfer or letter of credit. Shipments leave Wenzhou by full or less than container load. For repeat orders, confirm the finish again, since metallised plastic colours can shift between runs.
Arranging ornaments on a casket
Arranging ornaments means deciding how many motifs a casket carries, where they sit, and how they relate to the handles and fittings. Too many ornaments will crowd a casket, while too few will leave it bare, and the right number depends on the casket's size and style, not on the ornament catalogue. A sample casket, dressed with the intended ornaments, is the reliable way to judge an arrangement, because a list of ornaments cannot show how they will look together.
Ornaments in an arrangement should all be in one finish, matching the handles, and the finish should be confirmed against a physical sample. An arrangement that mixes finishes, even slightly, will look mismatched, because ornaments are decorative and their whole value is in their appearance. The finish guide explains that matching, and the repeat-order guide explains how to hold it across orders.
Checking a plastic ornament sample
A plastic ornament sample should be placed on a real casket, with the handles in place, and judged for finish, size and arrangement, because ornaments are decorative and their whole value is in appearance. Check the metallised colour against the handles, check the size against its position, and check that the ornament does not look out of place among the other decoration. An ornament that matches, fits and completes the arrangement can be ordered with confidence, while one that mismatches in colour or size should be raised before a quantity is ordered.
Before payment, confirm the model number, material, finish, quantity, lead time and any load-test record for your order with the sales team.
