To be able to get the best results when printing your logo or design onto your desired product, we need your file to be sent to us in a Vector format, this will help us ensure your logo or design is printed with precision and accuracy (as shown in the image above).

JPEG, TIFF (Tagged Image File Format), PDF (Portable Document Format)

For digital four colour process prints, we ask that you send us a file where the image is no less than 300+DPI or a High-Resolution file and saved in a CMYK colour format as well.

Usually used on metal products like stainless steel or similar products. Like blocking, a metal die is pressure stamped onto your product leaving an impression of your design. It can be left plain or filled with colour. This is a specialised process hence the use of the application is quite limited when it comes to creative promotional products.

Digital printing allows you to reprint photo quality pictures on garments and promotional products and you don’t need to set up multiple screens for multiple colour prints, which means you save much more on setting up fees.

Digital printing is generally used on paper products or on items such as banners. It is now also possible to do digital printing on some plastics and ceramics though.

This is a very common type of enhancement used to stitch your logo or design onto fabric, mainly used for apparel, caps, bags, etc. You can have your embroidery done in either a classic 2D which is most common or you can have it raised so it becomes more 3-dimensional.

Embroidery is costed by the number or stitch counts in your design. As thread colours aren’t dyed to your desired PMS colour, the embroiderer will try to match your desired colour as close as possible, so slight variations are to be expected but this is commonly accepted as normal.

Engraving is the practice of incising a design onto a hard, usually flat surface, by cutting grooves into it. Engraving is done mainly used for Metal or Wooden items, such as products like stainless steel travel mugs, metal pens, metal keyrings, clocks, torches, photo frames, metal cups, cardholders, chopping boards – the list is endless.

This is the most popular decorating method used to print promotional products. The print can be matched to your specific PMS colour. Pad Printing is the best option when the item being printed has an irregular surface or variable texture.

The printing pads are made of silicon and function as a transfer vehicle, picking up ink from the printing plate and then pressing it onto the product.

Some common promotional items that are pad printed include USB drives, key rings, note pads, pedometers, pens, mugs, torches and golf balls.

Screen printing is ideally suited for the printing of textiles and thin flat materials. Ink is pressed through a fine-mesh screen by the use of a squeegee, depositing a thick layer of ink onto the product. Unlike pad printing, there is a very little limitation as to the size of the print. Some common promotional items that are screen printed include conference satchels, bags, T-shirts, compendiums, umbrellas and paper bags.
