Types of Electroplating : There are different processes by which people can electroplate metals such as by MASS plating (also barrel plating), rack plating, CONTINUOUS plating, and line plating. Each process has its own set of procedures which allow for the ideal plating.

Mass Plating : It's not ideal for items that are detailed as it is not effective in preventing scratches and entanglement. However, this process plates a mass amount of OBJECTS efficiently.
Rack Plating : More expensive than mass plating, but effective for either large or delicate parts. Often has parts SUBMERGED in solutions with "racks".
Continuous Plating : Parts such as wires and TUBES are continuously passing anodes at a certain rate. This process is a bit cheaper.
Line Plating : Cheaper, as fewer chemicals are used and a production line is used to plate parts.
