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

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

Full-colour adhesive label that sticks to the product

The full-colour digital label involves printing the design onto an adhesive label using high-resolution digital technology. This technique allows logos, images, and detailed messages to be included in a small space and applied to the finished product. It is a versatile solution, ideal when the product cannot be printed using other methods.

Advantages

• High-resolution full-colour printing
• Quick and easy application
• Full-colour printing where other techniques are not feasible

Handicaps

• Less durable than engraved or embroidered techniques
• The label may peel with heavy use
• Not recommended for products subjected to frequent washing
