Custom Imprint And Branding

How artwork becomes a finished imprint, and what changes between pad printing, laser engraving and moulded colour.

Stage By Stage

Where Orders Go Wrong And What We Do About It

Artwork Review

Problem: Files arrive as low resolution images that cannot be reproduced cleanly
How we handle it: We check every file for vector outlines, stroke width and colour references before quoting, and tell you what needs redrawing

Method Selection

Problem: The wrong method puts ink where it will rub off within weeks
How we handle it: Pad print on plastic faces, laser engraving on anodized metal, moulded colour on PVC, chosen against how the item is carried

Proofing

Problem: Approval by email leaves the imprint position open to interpretation
How we handle it: A digital proof shows exact position and size within the verified imprint area, and production starts only on your written approval

Set-Up

Problem: Multi-colour and multi-version runs multiply set-up costs
How we handle it: One artwork set-up runs across several stock body colours in the same batch, and stored files remove set-up on repeats

Curing And Testing

Problem: Uncured ink transfers onto packaging in the carton
How we handle it: Printed items are cured and rub tested before packing, and sampled units are checked from each carton
