The invention discloses a preparation method for a vapor plating mask plate. The mask plate is produced from a nickel-iron alloy material by using an electroforming process. The nickel-iron alloy material comprises two elements of nickel and iron, with an iron content being 56%-62%. In a preparation method for the nickel-iron alloy material, an electroforming method is adopted, a sulfate system is used as an electroforming solution, a metal cathode and a metal anode are placed in the electroforming solution, and the nickel-iron alloy is deposited on the cathode; wherein the electroforming solution concretely comprises: 220-260g / L nickel sulfate, 30-50g / L nickel chloride, 40-50g / L boric acid, and 21-25g / L ferrous sulfate. According to the preparation method of the invention, the electroforming process is employed to replace an etching process, openings of obtained products are smooth, have good quality, no blurs, and high accuracy; by employing the process, the use amount of nickel is reduced, the cost is low, the three-waste management burden is alleviated, and an alloy coating with the iron content in the range of 56%-62% can be obtained, which means large flat surface metal mask coatings with different magnetisms can be obtained.
