Heat embossing with a coloured or metallic finish that creates a raised effect

Colour heat embossing is achieved by pressing a heated die onto the material along with a coloured or metallic foil to create a raised logo with a gold, silver, or other coloured finish. This pressure transfers the foil with high precision, producing an elegant and durable result, ideal for notebooks, gift boxes, or leather items with a premium finish.

Advantages

• Elegant raised effect combined with colour or metallic finish
• Uses no inks, only embossed material
• Ideal for leather, faux leather, thick cardboard, and similar materials

Handicaps

• Colour is limited to the available foils
• Does not allow gradients or photographic reproduction

Small-detail printing on curved surfaces

Pad printing uses a flexible silicone pad to transfer ink from an engraved plate onto curved or irregular surfaces. Perfect for logos and small text on pens, keyrings, gadgets, and other compact items that are difficult to print using other methods

Advantages

• Prints exact Pantone® colours
• Works on curved and irregular surfaces
• High definition for logos and text
• Cost-effective for bulk orders

Handicaps

• Relatively small printing area
• Limited number of colours, especially in multicolour designs
• Not suitable for printing photographs or gradients

A magnifying effect that protects and enhances your full-colour design

The resin drop, also known as doming, involves applying a layer of transparent resin over a pre-printed label. This layer creates a raised, glossy effect that acts like a magnifying glass, enhancing the colours and protecting the design from rubbing and scratches.

Advantages

• Striking three-dimensional effect
• Protects the design from bumps and scratches
• Enhances the colours and gloss of the print
• Ideal for keyrings, badges, pins, and nameplates

Handicaps

• Not recommended for very flexible surfaces or textiles
• Not suitable for highly curved areas or sharp edges
