Silk Screen

The direct imprinting of a design or copy onto the surface of a product. Image is pressed through tensioned nylon mesh, leaving a paint-like appearance. Sharper imprint than Pad Printing, though it requires a relatively flat surface without obstructions.

Pad Print

An inked image is transferred from a photo-etched plate to a thick, soft, silicone pad, which is then pressed against the part. The pad wrap itself as much as 180 degrees around a small object, and ink coverage is excellent. One colour is printed at a time, and registration between colours can be tight (up to four colours).

Heat Transfer

A method replacing Silk Screen imprinting for detailed and multi-colour imprints for a better appearance on certain substrates, such as range of surfaces: foam padding, webbing, insulated padding, PVC, nylon, neoprene, ABS and more.

Laser Engraving

Give your image a clean, polished appearance. Light burns away the surface to reveal the substrate. Works best when the item’s surface is a different color than the substrate. A contrasting black imprint can be created with Laser oxidation when the surface and the substrate are the same color.

Deboss

A technique for leather and other substrates in which a metal die is created from artwork. The die is then heat-pressed into the material, leaving an image of the artwork in recess creating a classic sophistication.

Embroidery

A traditional method of decorating textiles with needle and colored threat. Available for select products.
