360 Digital (foil) prints the motive digitally on a hot stamping foil. Used on pens where the imprint surrounds the barrel.

Sublimation printing is a printing method where a digital image is gassed into the material using a heat press. The special sublimation dyes have a special property which means that they are converted from a solid state to a gaseous state at a given temperature. This happens without them undergoing a liquid state along the way. Sublimation printing is only possible on polyester, which opens up at a certain temperature so that the dye can be absorbed into the material. When the material cools down, the dye is sealed and thus the pressure is very suitable and lasts extremely well when washed.

Offset print (CMYK full color) is a commonly used printing technique in which the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate to a rubber blanket, then to the printing surface.

Debossing (with or without color) the imprinted design causes depressions in the material leaving a depressed (debossed) imprint of the image on the paper or cardstock.

Die casting (with or without color) is a metal casting process that is characterized by forcing molten metal under high pressure into a mold cavity.

Digital transfer print Transfer printing is a printing method which is especially suitable for detailed full color printing. With transfer printing, the print is first transferred to paper (transfer paper). Using a printing press, the product and the paper are pressed against each other at high temperature. Due to the heat, the ink is transferred from the transfer paper and adheres to the product. Basically, there are two types of transfer: a silkscreen transfer and a digital transfer. In a screen printing transfer, the print is transferred one color at a time to the transfer paper using the screen printing technique. With digital transfer, the entire print is transferred at once using a color printer.

Ceramic (Screen print) transfer A special form of transfer printing is ceramic printing. This transfer print comes with the silkscreen printing with special ceramic ink. With screen printing, color by color is printed using the screen printing technique placed on transfer paper. The printed transfer sheet is then manually cut to a size of e.g. porcelain, ceramics and unique types of glass. After this, the products are placed in the oven where the logo is fired at a temperature of between 500 and 1300 ° C. The result? A dishwasher-friendly pressure.
