Embroidery
A traditional method of decorating products, embroidery stands the test of time due to it's effectiveness in enhancing logos. Embroidery adds value to any product or promotion. Logo size for embroidery is determined by the number of 1,000 stitches per square inch of area, not by the number of colours in the logo or how wide it might be.
Screen Print
This is the best way to print larger areas such as tee shirts. Can be used to print a great many colours. Half tones can also be printed. Decorating is achieved by pressing ink through a fine mesh screen, leaving a colour imprint on the fabric's surface. High visibility at a relatively low cost.
Rotary Screen Print
A specialised screen printing process designed to apply prints to curved surfaces such as drink bottles or pens.
Transfer Print
Multi-colour logos are applied to products through the use of transfers. There are several technologies for this. Logos are first reverse-screened onto a paper like material. The complete logo is then applied to the fabric's surface with heat & pressure.
Digital Transfer Print
The new technology of digital transfers allows for the production of more detailed logos, and the reproduction of photo quality finishes. The images are printed directly onto the transfer and then applied to the fabric's surface with heat and pressure.
Pad Print
Literally a sophisticated machined rubber stamping process used to apply logos in 1 or more colours. Size limitations apply to this method but this is your most economic method of applying logos to smaller products.
Embossing
No ink is used in this process. Immense pressure is applied to the product surface and the image or logo is literally pressed into the material. Best suited to leather and certain leather look materials.
Laser Engraving
No ink is used in this process. A laser beam is applied to metal or glass surfaces resulting in an etched logo cut out of the product's surface. It never rubs off and is very precise yielding an elegant and stylish representation of logos.
