Print information
This method is the fastest and most
accurate since it allows to print logos with
a high number of colours on usually most
surfaces. Generally the print is applied on
small objects made of plastic or other hard
materials, on which the paint is transferred
with a silicon pad.
Pad printing
This technique uses a small diamond to
engrave a text or logo on the surface of an

Silk screen printing is a stencil technique
in which ink is forced through a
mesh, originally of fine silk but now
commercially more likely to be nylon. It’s
an allembracing process used on general
materials, metal, plastic pens and PU

Silk screen
This is a dry printing method in which a
heated die is used to apply graphics to a
surface. The logo will keep the color of the
material.
Hot stamping
This is a digital print on a paper label, it
is then specially prepared for the transfer
to be applied at high temperature on the
object using a hot-press.
Transfer
This technology highlights the logo with
elegance: the logo is embroidered on the
object’s surface. The embroidery can be
made on plain/flat surfaces (clothing) or
irregular/uneven surfaces such as ha ts,
backpacks, bags, etc.
Embroidery
This technique uses a laser beam to print
text, logos or drawings by engraving the
object’s surface. Generally it is used on
metal but the same technique can also be
applied with excellent results on wood or
plastic.
Laser engraving
Doming is a printing technique where
several materials, mostly stickers, are
being applied with a transparent coating.
A resin layer (epoxyresin) gives a 3-D lens
effect, and depth and extra brightness to
colours.
