Decoration Techniques

All the products we offer are supplied imprinted with your requested artwork (logo and/or contact details etc). The decoration technique depends on the product selected.
Logos are applied using one of the following techniques:

Embroidery
Computer controlled embroidery machine stitches your logo onto your required product to create an up-market effect. This decoration method is best suited to clothing, headwear and other fabric products.


Screen Printing
Screen printing is used for printing onto fabric, flat or cylindrical objects.  Ink is forced through a screen onto the product creating the imprint.  This process can be repeated a number of times for multi-colour printing. 

Pad Printing

Ink is transferred from a printing plate onto a flexible silicone pad and then applied onto the product.  This printing method is best suited to plastic, vinyl, leather and aluminium.  The advantage of this process is that the product being printed does not need to be flat.  The silicone pad moulds itself around the product releasing the ink as soon as the pad is removed.

Digital and Offset Printing (Full Colour) 
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK) are combined using either digital or offset printing processes. The combination of these four colours creates the full colour image. This method of printing is also known as process printing.
 

 

Laser Engraving
Laser engraving utilizes a computer controlled laser beam to permanently etch your details onto metal products.The technique can be very technical and complex. Despite this complexity, very precise and clean engravings can be achieved at a high rate. The advantage of this process is that your message is there for a lifetime – never to rub off!

 

Embossing
Embossing is a great technique to create shiny raised images on your card, paper projects, rubber stamping.It involves heating a special powder known as Embossing Powder (or EP for short), and letting it melt to create a shiny raised or "embossed" finish. Embossing adds extra depth, dimension and texture,and can be used to add a really unique, interesting and professional touch to your product. In Promotional products Embossing is often used on compendiums for the logo to stand out.
