Printing
Printing is the most popular and cost effective technique and can take the format of pad (tampo) or screen printing. Pad printing involves the use of a pad to apply the ink to the product. Screen printing applies the ink via the use of a stencil placed on a porous material screen.
FOR PLASTIC, PU AND METAL ITEMS
Screen Printing Bags
Printing is the most popular and cost effective technique. Screen printing applies the ink via the use of a stencil placed on a porous material screen.
FOR BAGS
Rotary Engraving
The principle is much the same as standard engraving but specialist machinery enables the item to be rolled as is it marked, allowing the branding to cover the circumference of the item.
FOR METAL ITEMS WITH CYLINDRICAL SHAPES
Label/Doming
Self-adhesive printed label. For doming add an epoxy dome cover made of polyurethane resin; it’s durable, tough and long lasting. The label and doming process is often used to achieve four colour process logos and can be more cost effective than other printing methods, as it is the same cost regardless of the number of print colours.
DOMING FOR RECESSED ITEMS, LABELS FOR JARS AND SANITISERS
Foil Blocking
Similar to debossing (and using the same machinery), foil blocking leaves an imprint in the item, but the difference is that it can add colour to the impression. The colour is added by putting a colour foil between the dye and the product. The most popular colours to use are silver and gold.
