Branding Process's

When you contact us Promofix one of our knowlegable staff will be able to advise you on the best method that can be used to print your logo onto your choosen item:

Screen Print: A screen print is the application of one single colour at a time, through a custom made 'template' or 'stencil' onto a flat or curved surface. Screen print costs vary depending upon whether an automated machine process is possible, semi automated process is employed or a traditional manual technique is used. Screen-printing is great for most three-dimensional objects made from plastics, wood, metal, textiles, glass or ceramics.

Tampo or Pad Print:The most effective way of applying up to a 4-colour process print onto flat, curved or recessed areas. Ink is applied from an etched plate via a rubberised pad. This in turn applies ink under the correct pressure lifted from the plate. Tampo or pad printing is great for just about every desktop item. Anything made from firm, hard or semi soft materials can be printed whether they are flat or curved, recessed or indented.

Litho Process Printing: Litho process printing can be used to give your design greater depth through the use of tints, tones and gradients. A litho process can use as many spot colours as you like. Litho process is great for paper and cardboard items, poly, textiles, larger flatter surfaces made from PVC and plastics.

4 Colour Process Printing: Cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink is used to produce a final finish as good as a photograph. 4 Colour process printing is great for paper, cardboard, textiles and other flat surfaces including PVC and plastics technologies.

Transfer Printing: Transfers are printed up to 4-colour process onto a flat, vinyl material. It is then applied to your chosen item via chemical adhesion and heat application. Transfer printing is great for ceramics, glass, textiles, PVC and plastics.

Digital Print: Allows digita images to be printed directly from the computer onto material removing the need for plates or film. Digital printing is great for paper, plastics and textiles and also providing the ability to print full colour files onto small quanities.

Hot Foil Blocking: Application of coloured foil onto leather or PVC, in particular diaries and desk sets. Hot foil blocking is also used on leather products to provide a luxury finish.

Engraving: Uses a powerful laser or via a diamond tipped tool to burn or scratch your design into your chosen product leaving a mark that will outlive any other print or branding technology in normal general everyday use. Laser engraving is usually used for chrome, stainless steel, glass, crystal and wooden objects.

Embroidery: This is a way of stitching your design onto bags, vinyl and other thin materials. Clarity will never be as crisp as print for example plastics, but it outlasts, and outperforms print onto garments. Embroidery is great for clothing, textiles, thin PVC and other flat, thin or soft surfaces.
