Hardcover recycled paper notebook with ribbon, A6, plain pages

Heat embossing that creates a raised effect without ink or colour

Heat embossing uses a heated die to press onto materials such as leather, faux leather, or cardboard, slightly indenting the surface to create a raised logo without ink. The result is a subtle, elegant mark, ideal for notebooks, wallets, or other high-end items.

Advantages

• Very elegant and subtle finish
• Uses no inks, only embossed material
• Ideal for leather, faux leather, thick cardboard, and similar materials

Handicaps

• The design is visible only through its shape, with no colour
• Contrast depends on the material’s tone and texture

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

Intense solid colours with excellent value for money

Screen printing is a printing technique in which ink is pushed through a mesh stretched over a frame, with areas that should not be printed blocked off. It is ideal for logos with few colours and defined shapes, and is very cost-effective for large quantities on flat surfaces such as bags, folders, or T-shirts.

Advantages

• Ability to print exact Pantone® colours
• Excellent value for money for large print runs
• Ideal for simple logos without fine details

Handicaps

• Not suitable for printing photographs or gradients
• Limited number of colours
