PRINTING TECHNIQUES

Tampography
(P0-P7)

TAMPOGRAPHY

Pad printing is a technique in which silicone stamps are used to print the logo on the article. A sharper finish and a perfect colour match (PMS) are achieved with this technique. Pad printing is the most widely used printing technique, in which the logo is engraved on a metal plate and then transferred onto the article using a silicone pad, as the ink does not adhere to the silicone. Like screen printing, each colour must be printed separately.

Screen printing
(S0-S7, ST0-ST1, RS0-RS7)

SCREEN PRINTING AND SCREEN PRINTING 360

Screen printing is a printing technique in which a mesh with many small openings (frame) is used to transfer ink onto the article. A stencil will block certain parts to the shape of the logo. The ink is placed on the mesh and then pushed through the mesh onto the product. It is printed one colour at a time, so several screens must be used to produce a multi-coloured image or logo. After printing, the item is placed in a drying tunnel to fix the ink on the surface.

With 360 screen printing, the same technique is applied to a cylindrical article where the article is slightly rotated to obtain a round screen print.

Digital printing
(PD0-PD7, RD0-RD3)

DIGITAL PRINTING AND DIGITAL 360

Digital printing is done by placing the product under a special UV digital colour printer. The image is created by shooting many dots onto the printable surface, which combine to create a colour or image. Digital printing is most commonly used for printing on flat, even surfaces, as the distance between the printhead and the object is fixed. The printer can print in CMYK colour mode but also in white.

Promoline also offers a 360° digital printing option on cylindrical items, such as our glass, plastic or metal bottles. This technique is only possible on items without handles.

Screen printing transfer
(T1, TT)

SCREEN-PRINTING TRANSFER

With screen transfer, the logo is first printed on a special silicone-based paper instead of directly on the article. The colours are printed one by one on a white base. After each print, the logo passes through a drying tunnel. After all colours have been printed, a layer of glue is added in the same shape as the logo and an adhesive powder is applied. Using a heat press, the transfer will be applied to the article. The heat will make the glue liquid and the pressure will cause good adhesion to the article. The paper is then removed and the logo will remain on the article.

Laser engraving
(L0-L7, RL)

LASER ENGRAVING AND 360° LASER ENGRAVING

Laser engraving can be applied to items made of organic materials such as wood, glass and rubber or metals (coated and uncoated). With laser engraving, the result of a text or logo is precise, clean, permanent and luxurious. A digital logo is loaded into the laser machine. With a fibre laser (hard laser: mainly used for engraving/marking metals or rigid objects) or a CO2 laser (soft laser: mainly used for engraving/marking organic materials) the top layer of the material will be ‘burnt’ and the logo thus becomes visible.

Promoline also offers a 360 laser engraving option on cylindrical items, such as glass, plastic or metal bottles. This technique is only possible on articles without handles.

Digital transfer
(TD, TDT, TD1)

Digital transfer

Digital transfer is one of the most popular methods for logos and colour designs that have a photographic quality. First we digitally print (CMYK) the colours on a large roll of paper. Then we print a white layer on the areas covered by the colours. Then glue is added to allow adhesion to the item. The last step in the process is the application of the transfer image or logo onto the article using pressure, time and heat.

Dye-sublimation
(TST, TS, TS1-TS4, TSM)

DYE-SUBLIMATION

Dye-sublimation is a digital printing technique that allows colour images to be printed on white, hard surfaces or on polyester-coated items. First an image or logo is printed on dye-sublimation (CMYK) paper. The sheets of paper are then automatically cut. These printed sheets are applied to a product using pressure, time and heat. During this process, the ink is transformed from a solid into gas particles that penetrate the surface of the article. Once the article is cooled, the ink is fixed within the surface or coating of the article.

Ceramic transfer
(TC)

CERAMIC TRANSFER

This technique consists of hot stamping a print onto a ceramic product. The logo is printed by screen printing on decal paper, using ceramic inks. The decal paper is wrapped around the ceramic article after being immersed in water. The ceramic article with the decal is then kept in an oven for many hours, with temperatures of almost a thousand degrees Celsius. The decal paper burns in the kiln and the print remains on the ceramic item. This process allows for permanent and precise decoration of the objects.

Embroidery
(E)

EMBROIDERY

Embroidery is a technique in which several stitches are combined to create an image or logo. It is a very popular technique in products such as hats, textiles or bags. A special embroidery file is created that contains all the details of the work and the machine settings. The item is placed under a large sewing machine whose heads can hold up to 12 needles (so up to 15 different colours can be embroidered in one step).

Doming
(D01)

DOMING

The doming procedure consists of printing the logo on a domed self-adhesive label with a layer of acrylic resin. It is durable and cannot be easily scratched or dented. Once the labels are combined with the acrylic resin, they are treated in an oven. After the curing process, the labels are ready to be applied to the articles.

Digital label
(DL)

DIGITAL LABEL

A digital label is a digital print on an adhesive, which is applied to a product. This technique is often applied to items where other printing techniques cannot be used. A colour sticker is printed and then cut with a plotter. The digital label is then peeled off and applied to the articles.

Digital Inlay
(DI)

INLAY DIGITALE

With digital inlay, the logo is imprinted on a four-colour (CMYK) printer offering photographic image quality and sharp text. The printed logo is then placed in the selected print position.

Debossing
(B)

DEBOSSING

Debossing is a popular technique for leather, PU or cardboard products. The logo is first engraved on a metal stamp and then pressed into the material, creating a permanent impression. The material must be thick enough to withstand the pressure of the machine and the surface must be even and flat.
