Gold Plating Services for Orange County
Orange County builds an enormous amount of hardware and has surprisingly few dedicated gold plating labs. Our Vista facility sits about an hour south on I-5, close enough for weekly courier runs and same-day drop-offs from Irvine, Anaheim and Santa Ana.

From our Vista lab
About an hour south on I-5 to CA-78 east; roughly 60 miles from the Irvine Spectrum
For Irvine device engineers, the practical question is turnaround risk. A verification build waiting on plated contacts cannot absorb a lost shipment or a three-week plating queue in another state. An hour down I-5 puts your parts in a lab that quotes from photos before you leave the office, documents deposit thickness for your device history file, and hands finished lots back to your courier the same way it received them.
South-county cities make this even easier — from Mission Viejo or Lake Forest, the run to Vista is closer to forty minutes, shorter than crossing OC on a bad afternoon. Several of our recurring clients batch their plating into a standing biweekly run down the 5, combining prototype lots and production quantities in one trip.
Quotes are written, pricing is posted — $100 per square inch, $500 minimum — and the phone is answered by the lab: (760) 458-3299, Monday through Friday, 8 to 5.
Local Industries We Work With
Orange County's plating demand is led by its medical device industry — Irvine is one of the largest medtech clusters in the world, home to major cardiovascular, monitoring and surgical device companies plus hundreds of suppliers around them. Add the semiconductor and connector manufacturers along the I-405 corridor, Anaheim's legacy of precision job shops, and Santa Ana's jewelry trade, and the county generates exactly the mix of engineering and decorative work our lab was built for.
