A really versatile printing technique which works well on most fabrics. Ink is applied directly onto the material through a specially created silk mesh screen. Colours are separated and a different screen created for each colour to be printed.
Basically a type of fancy sewing! A digital image is made of the design which is then assigned colour threads. The product is then placed in the embroidery machine and the needles go to work stitching. To complete the job, excess threads are cut off to ensure a perfect finish
The transferring of ink from a silicone pad onto a product. The pad printing machine holds both the pad and the product steady and then presses the pad with the design into an ink plate. The pad is then pressed onto the object and left to air dry.
Some hocus pocus physics magic at work here! Designs
are printed onto a sublimation carrier which is then heat-pressed directly onto the product, causing pigments to leave the film and enter into the material where it cools and re-solidifies.
An intricate process using a laser beam to create sharp, crystal-clear designs carved into the product, producing a permanent and abrasion resistant result.
Involves the design being printed onto special, thermal paper which is placed onto the product and transferred using a special commercial heat-press. Ideal for four colour process logos.
Creates a 3D raised design achieved by pushing a metal die into the product from underneath. The raised area can then have ink or foil applied to it for added effect or it can be left plain for a blind emboss.
The opposite of embossing created using a metal die which is stamped onto the front of the product. The indented design can be filled in with ink or foil or left blank for a blind deboss.
This process uses a clear plastic coating made of polyurethane resin. This provides a lustrous
shine and protects the design from damage.
Is a traditional method used to print text or artwork onto paper. It excels in producing high-quality prints with sharp details and vibrant colours.
This is a type of plastic which is mouldable and can be produced in various colours. This material offers a smooth finished surface, meaning that colour and branding details show up vividly. Set up costs are low, allowing small orders to run.
UV Digital Transfer is a process using UV inks (Ultra Violet). The inks in UV printing do not dry but are cured by intense blasts of ultra violet light. Many times more powerful than sunlight, UV lamps move back and forth with every pass of the printed head instantaneously fixing the printed design.
Gives wonderful metallic finishes created in a similar way to debossing. An imprint is made on the product into which a pigment or metallic foil is pressed which is then heat sealed to give a very special finish. Perfect for notebooks and stationery.
Gives that traditional pin badge look with recessed and raised areas. The process uses an iron stamp to indent into the metal, this is then infilled with enamel colours before finally applying a metal finish, usually silver nickel or brass.
Does what it says on the tin! special printing for labels works with a wide variety of materials including vinyl, paper and holographic in every conceivable colour, shape and finish.
