Debossing

Commonly referred to as ‘Blind’ debossing, a heated custom metal plate is pressed firmly onto the product leaving an impression of the artwork. Thermo debossing is also available on certain products, using additional heat to create a unique and eye-catching two-tone finish.

Advantages

Higher perceived value than other forms of branding.
The branding becomes part of the product and is permanent.
The product can be shipped as soon as heat pressing is finished.
Certain products can produce a two-tone finish.

Limitations

Unable to print variable data such as individual naming.

Sublimation Print – Dye Sublimation

Dye sublimation print is used for branding products that have a special coating on them, or fabrics suitable for the sublimation process. A transfer is produced by printing sublimation ink onto transfer paper and then heat pressing it onto the product.

Ideal for producing vivid full colour images as well as closely matched spot colour branding.

Edge-to-edge branding can be achieved on some products.
Only one set up charge is required regardless of the number of print colours.

Some colours cannot be reproduced including white, metallic, and neon/fluorescent colours.
Fine detail/text may experience minor colour bleed across adjacent design elements.

Artwork Requirements

Direct Digital

Direct digital printing involves the transfer of ink directly from the print heads of an inkjet machine to the product and can be used to produce both full colour and closely matched spot colour branding on flat or slightly curved surfaces.

Advantages

Dried instantly so products can be shipped immediately.
Offers larger print areas on many products and can print very close to the edge of flat products.

The size of branding areas is limited on curved surfaces.
Larger print areas can be more expensive.

This CMYK branding process is produced by printing artwork onto a vinyl material with strong adhesive on the reverse. The branded area is then coated with a crystal-clear resin. Once dry, the finished decal is applied to the product and the adhesive forms a permanent bond.

Produces a stunning 3D effect that elevates the perceived value of a product.
