Services

The broad range of creative advertising media gives rise to a need for many different printing techniques. By using screen printing, flexographic printing, tampon printing, classic engraving, embossing and laser engraving, we are able to create advertising media that are specially tailored to you and your desires.

Be inspired by our broad range of options and develop sustainable, creative ideas that will leave a lasting impression on your clients.  We will provide you with expert advice from the design phase to the finished product. State-of-the-art technologies and well-founded expertise will make your advertising medium one of a kind.

Etching

Electrolytes are used to etch the motif into the surface of the advertising medium. As an electrical current is required for this process, the parts to be decorated must be made from metal. For glass, acid-based pastes are used to key the surface and create semi-gloss, cut-like patterns.
 

Badge

PVC/rubber badge sewn or glued onto the advertising medium.
 

Doming

An image created by screen, tampon or digital printing is subsequently sealed using an epoxy resin coating or an injection moulded Plexiglas lens. In addition to providing mechanical protection, this also optically enlarges the image.
 

Flexographic printing

Mainly used on foil (packaging). Colour deviations and register differences can occur within the print run.
 

Laser engraving

The surface of the material is removed or burnt by a laser. The intensity of the motif can be somewhat determined by the distance of the laser source (too close: risk of smoke residues!). The technique of engraving can be used on materials such as metal (including with treated surfaces), brass, wood, glass (including 3D), acrylic, leather, fleece and ceramic.
 

Label

Embroidered, printed or woven, the individual label is sewn into the textile item, ideally at the production site before manufacturing.
 

Embossing

The blind embossing of a permanently raised or sunken image, usually on metal products.
 

Foil embossing

Coloured foil is transferred onto the material using the embossing stamp.
 

Stitching

The motif is created using thread. Leading manufacturers (e.g. Madeira) have tailored the colours to the print colour system (Pantone). The number of stitches determines the amount of work and cost involved. Minimum letter height: 5 mm
 

Screen printing

Colour gradients can only be somewhat shown as printing cannot usually occur with anything more refined than a 24-grid. The motif should be presented to the printer for a feasibility assessment. Line print designs are straightforward; they are printed onto a dark background in duplicate or given a white background. For screen printing onto textiles, in addition to line printing, it is also possible to create colour gradients with up to a 48-grid. To satisfactorily produce motifs in photographic quality, the print data must be specially prepared. The specific requirements, including the point growth, are monitored by the printer when processing the data. To calculate the cost of your screen print, you therefore need to provide us with the motif.
 

Screen printing, ceramic

Occurs either through a direct print (simple motif) or through a decal (motif of photographic quality) on porcelain, earthenware (ceramics) or pottery. The paints are fired at high temperatures. Due to the composition of the paints that must withstand the high burning temperatures, some tones are impossible or extremely difficult to achieve. In most cases, a consultation session is therefore advisable.
 

Tampon printing

Particularly suited for printing advertising designs onto rounded or uneven surfaces through the use of a highly elastic silicon tampon.
 

Transfer printing

(Offset up to a 60-grid for motifs with colour gradients, flocked with all surfaces, covering transfer with Plastisol colours in screen print etc.). The print medium is pressed onto the textile under high temperatures.
 

Discharge printing

The textile colouring is removed at the planned print site so that printing can subsequently occur using a water-based paint. This screen print is soft to touch and can be ironed.
 

Plastisol transfer

Screen printing is used to print on an entire carrier medium. This procedure is mainly used if the material for the motif is problematic for direct printing (e.g. too rough for the desired screen or too slippery for most paints, which have to be printed using a high level of register accuracy. Artificial fibres are only somewhat suitable due to the high temperature required when ironing on the transfer.
