Every product and every logo is different, so we offer a full range of decoration methods to make sure yours looks the way it should. Some methods suit bold, simple logos. Others handle full-colour artwork, fine detail or tricky surfaces. And some just look premium. Because that's the impression you're going for.
Not sure which one's right for your product? That's what we're here for. Browse the options below or get in touch, and we'll point you in the right direction.
Ink is pushed through a mesh screen directly onto your product. It's one of the most popular methods for a reason: you get sharp, bold results on flat surfaces like T-shirts, tote bags, notebooks and umbrellas. Cost drops with volume, so it's great for larger runs. Metallic and fluorescent inks are available on select products. Each colour needs its own screen, so it works best with simpler designs.
A silicone pad picks up ink from an etched plate and presses it onto your product. Because the pad is flexible, it wraps around curved and uneven surfaces without distorting the image. You'll see this on pens, mugs, golf balls and tech accessories. It handles fine detail well and can print multiple colours in a single pass.
Your design is printed directly onto materials like paper, vinyl and magnetic stock using CMYK colour. This is the method behind most labels, badges and fridge magnets. It handles full colour from the start, so complex images and gradients are no problem.
A full-colour design is digitally printed onto transfer paper, then heat-pressed onto fabric. The finish is soft to the touch, flexible and machine washable, using eco-friendly water-based inks. It handles detailed, multi-colour artwork that screen print and embroidery can't, making it a go-to for complex logos on apparel.
Inkjet printing straight onto the product's surface. The big advantage here is that it can print on dark-coloured products by laying down a white base layer first. Works well on flat and slightly curved hard goods, and offers larger print areas than most other methods.
Sublimation ink is printed onto transfer paper, then heat-pressed into the product's surface. The ink becomes part of the material rather than sitting on top of it, so there's no texture or peeling. The result is vivid, full-colour, edge-to-edge branding. It only works on white surfaces and products with a sublimation-ready coating, but when it suits your product, the finish is hard to beat.
Thread is stitched directly into the fabric to recreate your logo. It's durable, looks premium and holds up through hundreds of washes. Best on polos, caps, jackets and bags. Up to 12 thread colours per position, and the slightly raised finish gives your branding a quality you can feel. Keep designs relatively simple. Very fine detail may not translate as well in thread.
A heated metal plate is pressed into the product to leave a permanent impression of your artwork. Debossing presses the design down into the surface; embossing raises it up. Both create a tactile, high-end feel that looks and feels more expensive than printed alternatives. Best on leather goods, notebooks and packaging. Thermo debossing is available on select products for a two-tone finish that really stands out.
A laser removes material from the product's surface to etch your design permanently into it. The result varies depending on the material. Metal, wood, glass and acrylic all produce different finishes. It's precise, permanent and impossible to rub off. Popular on pens, drink bottles, awards and glassware. Variable data (individual names or numbers) is available on select products.
Metallic foil is applied to the product using heat and pressure. Available in gold, silver and copper, it gives notebooks, journals and leather goods a polished, premium look. Modern digital foiling means there's no need for plates or stamps, so it's more cost-effective than traditional foiling. Variable data is possible too, making it a good option for personalised gifts.
Two similar processes from different manufacturers, both delivering a glossy, raised 3D finish on hard surfaces. Your artwork is UV-printed in full colour with a durable gloss or crystal-clear coating that's scratch-resistant and eye-catching. Ideal for products where you want the branding to really stand out.
These methods handle full-colour branding that wraps around cylindrical products like drink bottles, cups and tumblers. Rotary screen print uses the same mesh-and-ink process as standard screen print, while rotary digital print uses UV inkjet for full-colour gloss finishes with no loss of colour, even on dark products. A great option when you want branding that covers more of the surface.
Your artwork is printed onto vinyl, then coated with a crystal-clear resin that creates a glossy, raised 3D dome. The finished decal is applied to the product with a permanent adhesive bond. It looks and feels premium and works well for logos that need to stand out on hard goods. Full colour is standard, and variable data is available.
A special ink creates an etched-glass effect via pad or screen print. It looks like real etching, but costs a fraction of the price and can be applied to curved surfaces. Popular on glassware and drinkware, where you want a subtle, classy finish without the expense of actual engraving.
A full-colour adhesive label, digitally printed and applied to products that can't be branded any other way. Labels can be cut to custom shapes and printed edge-to-edge. Variable data (names, numbers) is available, and they work across a wide range of surfaces. Think of these as the problem-solver when other methods won't work for a particular product.
Patches are a popular way to brand caps, jackets, bags and uniforms. We offer several types: suede patches with a laser-etched finish, full-colour vinyl patches for detailed logos with a matte or gloss look, and full-colour sublimated patches for bold, all-over designs. They're sewn or heat-applied to the product and give your branding a textured, premium feel.
Every product has its ideal decoration method, and sometimes it's not obvious which one will give you the best result. Tell us what you're working with — the product, your logo, and the finish you're after — and we'll recommend the right option. No guesswork, no wasted time.
Vector files (.eps, .ai, .svg, .pdf) give the best results across all decoration methods. If you've only got a .jpeg or .png, send it through anyway, and our team will let you know if it'll work or if we need to redraw it.
Yes, across many decoration types. Include your Pantone colours when you place your order or request a quote, and we'll match as closely as possible.
Always. You'll receive a free digital proof with every order, and nothing goes into production until you've approved it.
On most products, yes. Some methods (like digital print, sublimation and digital transfer) handle unlimited colours as standard. Others (like screen print and pad print) work best with simpler designs, but can still produce multi-colour results.
Variable data is available on select products and decoration methods, including laser engraving, digital print, digital label and foil print. Get into the specifics, and we'll confirm what's possible.
