Pad Print

Pad printing uses a silicone pad to transfer an image to a product from a laser etched printing plate. It is one of the most popular and affordable ways of branding promotional products due to its ability to reproduce images on uneven or curved products and print multiple colours in a single pass.

Advantages

Ideal for printing on curved or uneven products.
Prints sharp, clean images with detail as fine as 0.4mm, minimum text size is 5pt.
Close PMS matches are possible on white or light-coloured products.
Metallic gold and silver ink are available.
Can offer a white under base for the darker products that require it.
Many products can print up to 6 colours with tight multi-colour registration.

Limitations

Halftones cannot be consistently reproduced.
Unable to print variable data such as individual naming.
Close PMS matches are more difficult on darker products and will only be approximate. In these instances, a white base will create a better print.
Some pad print inks require a curing period before the product can be shipped.
Each colour requires its own setup charge.
Neon/fluorescent colours are not available.

Artwork Requirements

Artwork must be supplied in a vector editable format.
Fonts are advised to be converted to outlines/objects to avoid font conflicts.

Rotary Digital Print

Direct to product rotary digital printing involves the transfer of UV ink and a varnish coating from inkjet print heads and can be used to produce detailed gloss artwork using both closely matched spot colours and full colour branding.

Advantages

Ideal for large or complex full colour gloss prints.
The print is dry and ready to ship as soon as the product is printed.
Only one setup charge is required regardless of the number of print colours.
No loss of print vibrancy, even on darker products.

Limitations

Production speed is limited so lead times can be longer in some cases.
Some colours cannot be reproduced including metallic and neon/fluorescent colours.
As the print does not wrap completely around the product, there is a small gap between the start and end of the print.
More expensive than other branding options.

Artwork Requirements

Artwork can be supplied in either vector or bitmap format.
Supplied bitmaps must be higher than 300DPI resolution at the actual print size.
Fonts are advised to be converted to outlines/objects to avoid font conflicts.

Foil Printing

Foil Printing is a printing method that applies a metallic foil onto a flat surface using heat and pressure. However, this method utilises modern digital foiling, which is more cost-effective and eliminates the need for plates or stamps, allowing for direct printing from a digital file to the product.

The printing will inherit the texture of the substrate, so textured notebooks will cause the foil to reflect that texture. The foil finish will vary slightly when applied to soft-touch PU compared to Standard PU due to the different substrates. The available foil colour options include Gold, Silver, and Copper.

Advantages

Higher perceived value than other forms of branding.
The product can be shipped as soon as printing is finished.
Offers variable data such as individual naming.
The foil is flexible which means it is suitable for softcover notebooks.

Limitations

Detailed artwork can get lost on textured substrates.
Min line thickness 0.4mm for smooth substrates.
Min line thickness 1mm for textured substrates.

Artwork Requirements

The artwork must be supplied in vector format.
Fonts are advised to be converted to outlines/objects to avoid font conflicts.

Hot Stamping

Hot Stamping is a printing method that creates an indented design on the product surface using a heated custom metal plate. This plate is pressed firmly onto the product surface, leaving a permanent impression of the artwork. It's often used on materials like wood.

Advantages

Higher perceived value than other forms of branding.
The branding becomes part of the product and is permanent.
The product can be shipped as soon as heat pressing is finished.
Certain products can produce a two-tone, contrasting finish.

Limitations

Unable to print variable data such as individual naming.
Large block artwork can produce an inconsistent print result.
Minimum line thickness: 0.4mm.

Artwork Requirements

The artwork must be supplied in vector format.
Fonts are advised to be converted to outlines/objects to avoid font conflicts.
