LOGO ON GIFTS

We have accumulated years of experience in handling customized LOGO/BRANDING on promotional gifts, corporate gifts, door gifts for small and large business organizations with corporate identity compliance. In general, there are a several types of logo printing methods used in corporate gifts industry and the most reliable and popular ones are silkscreen, pad printing, heat transfer printing and laser engraving. The printing method used varies depending on the type of material surface and complexity level of customer’s logo or design.

SILKSCREEN PRINTING

Screen Printing, also known as silk screen printing involves use of a frame with screen or a mesh that has been stretched over it. This procedure involves creating design over the screen, where the whole apparatus is called as “stencil”. Normally an ink is used for printing the design from stencil to the target medium. Normally it applies to flat surface premium gift items and it can print single or multiple solid colors.

PAD PRINTING

Pad printing involves use of silicon printing pad along with a procedure where semi-sticky inks are created. The ink is then filled in an engraved surface and since the ink is sticky in nature, it gets picked up by the pad and is then transferred to the surface which needs to be printed. It is normally apply to non flat surface gift items. Here is a good video showing pad printing for promotional gifts.

HEAT TRANSFER PRINTING

Heat transfer printing, also known as thermal printing, thermal-wax printing or thermal-transfer printing involves use of heat for transferring the image from wax to some item or object. In fact, thermal-based printing method usually involves use of pre-printed images over a single sheet of wax, or creates printed-on-the-fly images produced by putting a layer of wax dye over some item or object. The heat-transfer printing technique can work as an alternative to other printing techniques. It is most suitable for logo with full color and with gradient color.

LASER ENGRAVING

It involves use of laser for marking or etching a surface. In fact, it is one of the best engraving techniques, which has become quite popular. However, it has some drawbacks, such as it is more expensive than normal printing in general. On the other hand, it delivers accurate results, and is quite versatile since it can be used for several applications and could use several materials. The engraving techniques may vary depending upon the kind of material and project and different laser engraving equipments would be required. Laser engraving produce no color. The engraved logo will be the color of the base material of the metal.
