Our Custom Lure Manufacturing Services
Day 1 Craft Philippines Inc. offers end-to-end manufacturing solutions, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern industrial precision to produce world-class fishing tackle.
Lead Die Casting
At Day 1 Craft Philippines Inc., lead die casting is the foundation of our fishing lure production. This is where we transform raw lead alloys into consistent, detailed lure bodies. By combining specially formulated alloys with strict process controls, we ensure every cast delivers the ideal balance of strength, durability, and performance. The molten metal is injected into high-quality molds under controlled temperature and pressure, ensuring each lure body has uniform dimensions, smooth surfaces, and crisp details. This process is crucial for creating a stable, production-ready base for all subsequent stages, from painting to assembly.
Mass Production Airbrush Painting
Our airbrush painting process is where function meets artistry. We transform each lure body into a visually striking and performance-ready product with vibrant colors and smooth gradients. Our skilled painters use precision airbrush systems to apply multiple layers—from base coats to detailed patterns and protective clear coats—creating depth of color and lifelike shading. This multi-layer method, combined with UV-resistant finishes, ensures every lure not only looks realistic but also maintains its quality and appearance after repeated use in the water
Pad Printing
Pad printing is a key process for applying fine details, logos, and multi-colored designs onto fishing lures with precision and consistency. This technique uses a flexible silicone pad to transfer ink from an etched plate directly onto the curved or irregular surfaces of the lure. This allows us to apply sharp, accurate markings where traditional methods would fail. We can reproduce intricate details like realistic eye patterns, scale designs, and brand logos with excellent repeatability, ensuring every element is clear and durable.
Hot Stamping
Hot stamping is our signature process for adding premium details and high-value finishes. This technique uses a combination of heat and pressure to transfer metallic foils, holographic films, or custom patterns directly onto the lure surface. The process ensures designs like reflective scales, metallic logos, and accent stripes are applied with high precision and strong adhesion. These durable embellishments not only enhance the lure's aesthetic appeal but also increase its market value by creating eye-catching, lifelike flashes underwater.
