Custom Printed

One of the most important ways by which an advertisement or a message of a business company can reach out to people is by Custom Printing. This is imperative on any promotional product to convey that "all important" message into the consumer world. It is affordable, easily meets the needs of companies and individuals and adds glamour to the business world.

All promotional items will have a "printing area", and some products have room for more than one printing area. It all depends on your requirement - the budget, the type of message you want to convey, the target group etc. The more you print, the more the cost will increase.

There are many different types of printing onto promotional products, and the method used will greatly depend on the shape and texture of the product. Given below are three of the most popular ways in which promotional products are personalized with Custom Printing:

o Screen Printing: This is the ideal form of printing methods used for commercial printing, and has been used as an industrial printing process too for many long years. Screen Printing is a process where the ink is pushed through a stencil with a device known as a "squeegee" onto the printing surface. The concept is simple but a difficult technique to master. This type of printing is ideal of logos with 1-4 colours with no shading of colours. It is commonly used for t-shirts and any other type of apparels.

o Hot Foil Blocking: Hot Foil Blocking is just one of the processes used for Custom Printing. A metallic foil is used for the print, and this way the light shines off it in many different ways. The foil is heated onto your promotional product using a hot stamp with your logo. It is very popular as an environmentally friendly printing technique and can be used with a single colour, multiple colours or even with rainbow colours.

o Pad Printing: Pad printing is a printing process which has the ability to print on three-dimensional objects and compound angles. This method is excellent for printing small unusually shaped objects which screen printing cannot do. Pad printing is used to print on products such as: golf balls, auto parts, pens, coasters, USB flash drives and many other items. It is mostly popular because of its ability of print on 3-D objects at different angles. It is not ideal for printing large areas.
