Sublimation:

Sublimation is a printing technique used to transfer an image onto promotional items. The process involves preparing paper with special inks and then applying heat and pressure to the object itself. This causes the ink to change from a solid to a gaseous state and then back to solid, allowing it to become fully integrated into the item. This type of personalisation is commonly used on mugs, bottles, and T-shirts. One of the significant advantages of sublimation is its durability, making the designs difficult to deteriorate and ensuring they remain in good condition for a longer time.

Reflective Transfer:

Reflective transfer is a technique suitable for creating a logo that attracts more attention and adds an extra element of security by increasing visibility (since, as its name suggests, it reflects light). In this method, the logo is printed using a special silver screen-printed ink on paper, which is then transferred to the object using a heat press. It is only intended for textile products such as bags or backpacks. This technique is genrally used on sports related gifts.

Screen Printing:

Screen printing is one of the most popular techniques for personalised gifts. It involves the use of a stretched mesh, onto which a plate with the logo is attached. Ink is then applied, reproducing the image onto the gift. For multi-coloured designs, a separate mesh is required for each different colour. This process is simple, inexpensive, and durable. Moreover, it offers the significant advantage of adapting to various types of surfaces, allowing a wide range of merchandise to be personalised through screen printing.

Screen Transfer :

Screen transfer involves printing using heat to apply screen-printing inks that have been deposited onto paper. While conventional screen printing applies the ink directly through the mesh, the use of a heat press and transfer paper allows for more intricate designs and greater adaptability to different surfaces. This technique is particularly suited for textile merchandise such as T-shirts, caps, backpacks, or bags. Although more expensive than traditional screen printing, the final result is more visually appealing, especially for logos with a wide range of colours.

Digital Transfer:

Digital transfer is a printing technique that allows you to print a logo in full colour as well as photographs. For this, a special paper containing the image is used and by ironing, it is transferred to the article. This is intended for textile items such as bags, backpacks or T-shirts. The great advantage of this alternative is that it uses a type of ink that is more resistant to washing than traditional inks. However, it is always advisable to use cleaning programmes that are not too aggressive and to avoid ironing over the image. In this way, the design will remain in good condition for a long time.
