Screen Printing
Screen printing is a very popular printing technique, typically used for promotional, sports, workwear, and promotional items.
Screen printing offers many advantages. First, it's a relatively simple technique that allows for multiple reproductions of the design without the risk of losing image quality and definition. Furthermore, it can be printed on almost any material and is resistant to frequent washing.
Heat Transfer Printing
Heat transfer printing is used for small to medium runs and relies on special thermo-adhesive plastic films applied to the fabric.
The design is printed onto the substrate using a special printing and cutting plotter. Once cut, the excess material is removed, leaving the design on the polyester substrate, which is then applied to the fabric using a heat-sealing press.
This technique is used in various fields, from clothing to sports, and allows for the creation of truly unique prints.
For years, we have been using the best films on the market, which have now reached very thin and soft thicknesses, ideal for lightly weighing down the garment.
Pad Printing
Pad printing is a technique that allows printing on both flat and concave or convex surfaces. It is used to personalize pens, lighters, and similar gadgets.
The pad printing process involves using a soft pad that first passes over a pre-engraved and inked matrix, collecting the ink from the matrix and then transferring it to the object using pressure.
It is an indirect type of printing and allows for excellent results even with very fine graphic lines.
Embroidery
Embroidery is a type of customization suitable for garments or fabric gadgets. It is created with a maximum of 12 spot colors on products with a minimum weight of 165 gsm.
The graphic design can be embroidered directly onto the fabric or prepared on a patch that is then applied to the garment.
For this technique, costs are calculated based on several variables, such as size, design complexity, and number of colors used.
UV Printing
One of the major advantages of UV LED printing on objects is the vibrant color and photorealistic quality of the image or logo on the finished object. The UV printing process works very differently and uses an innovative method called "UV polymerization." It uses light (ultraviolet light) instead of heat to dry the ink, and this takes only a fraction of a second. The great appeal of UV LED printing is that the ink is not absorbed by the object or substrate, but sits on top, meaning it can print on almost any non-porous surface: plastic, glass, wood, stone, and metal are ideal.
