Metal Belt Buckle Construction

Metal belt buckles are cast according to strict specifications. The metal Buckle is then sand blasted, primered, and spray painted. A photograph is selected from a large inventory (only Premium Grade Glossy Photo paper is used). For Custom orders, the customer supplied image is used. That image is altered (colors manipulated, others changes made as necessary, and it is resized to fit either a large or small Buckle), the photograph is then backed with an adhesive and inserted into the blank Buckle. A thick, steel-like layer of space age clear liquid plastic is poured over the photograph and the buckle, forever sealing them with a thick steel-like coating. This protects and preserves both the photograph and the buckle.

All of these steps are done by hand--no assembly line machines are used in the construction of these Belt Buckle Pictures. Numerous small steps (Company proprietary information) are omitted here. These are trade secrets; but the major steps have been listed for your information. This product is protected by U.S. and other patents.

These procedures may look simple but they are not; the entire process takes from 3-8 weeks to complete. Please allow 2-3 weeks for stock photos and 6-8 weeks for all Custom orders.
