Decoration Methods explained.

Blind Stamp or Deboss Blind stamping, also known as debossing, is where an image is pushed into the surface of an item such as a bag, compendium, travel wallet or wine carrier, and leaves a permanent impression in the surface. Items made from genuine leather will blind stamp best.

Foil Stamp A foil stamp is a permanent image on the surface of an item and looks shiny, glossy and smooth. Generally, promotional items can be foil stamped in gold, silver or black or a limited range of other metallic colors. Foil stamping can be done on most items made from leather, vinyl or PU as well as onto card, paper and plastics.

Embroidery Mostly used on apparel, caps and bags, artwork is digitized and applied to the product by a computerized sewing machine, resulting in the logo being applied to the product with a series of colored threads.

Etch Logos are etched onto glass or crystal products. A photographic process prepares a film mask which is etched into the product.

Mock Etch Ink is applied directly to the surface of the product giving an etched look to glass or crystal product.

Laser Engrave Used on metal/silver products – such as metal pens, desk accessories, travel mugs and some wooden and leather products. A laser burns the surface of the product to reveal the logo.

Pad Print The logo is printed directly onto the surface of the product. Up to 4 colors can be applied depending on the complexity of the logo. Can be applied to metal, glass, leather, PU and stainless steel products.

Plastisol Transfer Best used for spot color or 4 color process with intricate artwork. Artwork is printed onto paper and applied to the product using heat pressure – best for apparel, bags, caps and towels.

Screen Print Used for products such as apparel, leather, PU products and umbrellas, your logo is printed in your corporate colors using a screen – logos can be printed in 4 or more colors depending on the surface of the product.
