Pad Printing

Pad printing is a technology for printing promotional items. It is suitable for printing smaller logos and patterns (up to approximately 7 cm). The designs can have up to 4 colors, but smooth color gradients (e.g., images) cannot be printed. Pad printing is suitable for promotional items made from various materials – metal, glass, plastic, wood, leather, ceramics.

Screen Printing

Screen printing is the most suitable method for printing promotional items with smooth and flat surfaces, such as fabrics, paper, and plastic bags. It is also used on round objects like promotional mugs, stationery, bottles, and others. Screen printing is not suitable for color images with gradients (like photographs). Screen printing can produce patterns with up to 8 colors.

Digital Printing

Digital printing on fabrics and promotional items offers design freedom. There is no color limit, and it can print up to the edges of fabrics or objects. It is also suitable for sample preparation, digital (and other) printing, and smaller orders. The surface for digital printing may not be perfectly smooth.

Embroidery

Embroidery is a suitable technology for garments and promotional items made of fabric. Embroidered patterns can include up to 15 different thread colors. Due to its durability, embroidery is also suitable for workwear. Like screen printing, embroidery requires a reasonable timeframe to convert the design into stitches.

Laser Engraving

One of the most durable printing technologies. It offers precise and durable patterns engraved directly onto the surface of the promotional item. Because of this, the design has a long lifespan. Laser engraving is suitable for branding metal promotional items, wood, or plastic. Laser engraving is also possible on fleece fabrics.

Embossing

Embossing is a colorless technology for printing promotional items made of leather, PU, paper, or fabrics. It offers two variations – blind embossing and foil embossing. When using blind embossing, the resulting patterns have a slightly darker color than the surrounding material. Patterns in foil embossing are filled with colored foil—most often silver or gold.

Doming

Doming begins with digital printing. The mold is shaped, printed, and filled with epoxy, which then hardens to maintain its shape. It provides a 3D effect, enhances colors, and protects the sticker from mechanical damage. Doming offers an exciting way to make a printed design unique. It is also very suitable for branding promotional items where direct printing technologies are not possible.

Firing

A very technologically demanding method for printing promotional items made of glass and ceramics. It uses spot colors, so it is not suitable for full-color patterns and logos. Objects printed with firing can be washed in an automatic dishwasher without damaging the printed designs.

Sublimation

Sublimation is a revolutionary technology that enables color printing on promotional items for which no other branding technologies are available. However, it introduces several new limitations. You can print only on polyester layers or ceramic, ideally white. Sublimation guarantees maximum retention of the printed color shades.

• Color photo printing
• Printing on large surfaces
• Immediate production times

 

• Difficult to reproduce Pantone colors
• The temperature (200° C) during transfer may cause damage to the surrounding area
• Printing only on polyester and ceramic

Sticker

You can replace printing on promotional items where other branding technologies are not possible with a sticker. You can also rely on this when you need to print a small number of items in a short time. The material of the sticker differs for outdoor or indoor use. The type of adhesive used should correspond to the material for which it is intended.

• Faster and cheaper alternative compared to other branding technologies
• Large number of materials to which the sticker can be applied
• Custom sticker shapes according to your preferences

 

• Shorter lifespan than other branding technologies
• A less representative form of branding
• Time-consuming application (for more than 500 pcs)

Sandblasting

Sandblasting technology is suitable for printing promotional items made of ceramics, glass, and metal. It is a colorless technology that creates patterns on objects by blasting fine sand over a template with the desired pattern. Suitable for branding mugs, glasses, or metal bottles.
