Full-colour circular UV printing with maximum durability

Circular UV digital printing customises bottles, glasses, and other cylindrical products as they rotate, using inks that cure instantly with ultraviolet light. This allows for full-colour wrap-around designs, ideal for visually striking, modern campaigns that require a fast, high-quality finish.

Advantages

• Full-colour wrap-around printing on cylindrical products
• Suitable for detailed images and designs with gradients and shading
• Great creative freedom for impactful graphic designs
• Instant drying thanks to UV technology

Handicaps

• Does not allow exact Pantone® colour matching
• The ink’s raised effect may be slightly noticeable to the touch
• Less durable than techniques such as engraving

Circular laser engraving with permanent, wrap-around marking

Circular laser engraving uses a rotating system that spins the product while the laser works, allowing the logo or design to be applied around the entire surface. This technique is ideal for metal bottles and thermoses, producing a continuous, clean finish that is highly resistant to daily use.

Advantages

• Continuous marking around the product
• Elegant, premium finish
• Highly resistant to wear and washing
• No inks or adhesives used

Handicaps

• Does not allow adding color to the engraving itself
• Marking area may be limited by the shape of the product

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

Laser engraving for an elegant and permanent finish

Laser engraving creates a precise and permanent mark on the product surface using a laser. Without the need for inks, it achieves a clean, indelible finish on materials such as metal, wood, plastic, or leather, making it widely used for keychains, trophies, and personalized pens.

Advantages

• Permanent marking that won’t fade with use
• High precision and detail, even for small text
• No inks or additional chemicals required
• Does not alter the texture or integrity of the item

Handicaps

• The engraving does not add color; it depends on the material’s natural tone
• On wood, the final finish will vary according to the grain
