Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the backbone of modern electronics. From simple single-layer boards to complex HDI stacks, PCB manufacturing turns design files into working hardware. This page explains PCB manufacturing services, the process, capabilities, quality checks, industries served, and why MKTPCB is the right partner. PCB Manufacturing Services
What is PCB Manufacturing?
PCB manufacturing converts electronic designs into physical boards. The process covers material selection, patterning, drilling, plating, and finishing. It also includes assembly and testing. A reliable PCB manufacturer ensures electrical performance, mechanical integrity, and manufacturability.
Why PCBs matter
- They connect components and provide mechanical support.
- They influence device reliability and lifespan.
- Good manufacturing reduces assembly errors and field failures.
Our PCB Manufacturing Capabilities
MKTPCB handles a wide range of board types and materials.
Board types we produce
- Single-sided and double-sided PCBs.
- Multilayer PCBs up to complex stack-ups.
- Rigid, flex, and rigid-flex boards.
- Aluminum and metal-core PCBs for thermal applications.
- HDI (High Density Interconnect) boards for compact designs.
Material & finish options
- FR-4, Rogers, polyimide, and metal core.
- Surface finishes: HASL, ENIG, OSP, and immersion silver.
- Solder masks, silkscreens, and various copper thicknesses.
PCB Manufacturing Process (Step-by-Step)
We follow a structured process that ensures consistent quality.
- Material selection
Choose substrate, copper weight, and laminates for electrical needs. - Design for Manufacture (DFM) review
Our engineers check Gerber files for manufacturability. We fix issues early. - Photolithography & imaging
Pattern transfer defines the copper traces using photoresist and exposure. - Etching
Unwanted copper is etched away to leave desired circuit patterns. - Drilling
Precision drills create vias and holes for through-hole components. - Plating & copper deposition
Vias and holes are plated to form electrical connections between layers. - Lamination (for multilayer PCBs)
Layers are bonded under heat and pressure to form a solid stack. - Solder mask & silkscreen
Protective masks and component labels are applied and cured. - Surface finish
Apply chosen finish for solderability and protection. - Routing & scoring
Final board shape is cut or scored for easy separation. - Assembly & testing
SMT and through-hole components are placed and soldered. Test and inspect.

PCB Manufacturing FAQs
How long does PCB manufacturing take?
Prototype turnarounds can be a few days. Volume production times vary by complexity. Typical lead times are from one week to several weeks.
What files are needed for PCB manufacturing?
Standard Gerber files, drill files (Excellon), BOM, and pick-and-place files. A clear mechanical drawing helps.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ depends on board type and production method. We support single-board prototypes and small batches.
Can you handle urgent or rush orders?
Yes. We offer expedited services for prototypes and small runs subject to capacity.
Do you offer component sourcing?
Yes. We can source components, manage BOMs, and provide turnkey assembly.
What testing do you provide?
AOI, X-ray, flying probe, ICT, and functional testing are available.
How do you ensure quality?
We follow IPC guidelines, run in-process inspections, and perform final testing before shipment.
