There are traps that the uninitiated can easily fall into. One of the most common is to choose a poorly contrasting colour for the promotional product to take your logo. For example, a dark garment or product will often give poor contrast with a dark logo and similarly, a light coloured product can combine badly with a light logo. So make sure you choose carefully the colour of your logo and promotional item where there is a colour choice as well as the size and positioning of your branding on the promotional item. Once an item is selected, we always provide a positional drawing to assist in this regard before going into actual production.

Our Printing Options
Pad Printing
Pad printing utilisess conventional ink and is typically restricted to a palette of 3-4 colours. It commonly produces a matte finish and vibrant hues.
Key considerations:
Pad printing is frequently utilised when there is restricted space available for printing on a product.
In what instances is this method employed?
Most effective on compact articles like pens, bottles and cups. It is considered the most cost-effective printing method for such small-scale items.
Sublimation Printing
Sublimation printing is a comprehensive printing technique that covers the entire surface with the design. The ink is heated until it actually transforms into a gas and integrates into the fabric.
For instance, when sublimation printing is applied to shirts, initially the design is printed onto a specialised sheet of paper, which is then transferred onto another material, often polyester or a polyester blend.
In what instances is this method employed?
Primarily utilised for smaller items that require full-colour edge-to-edge designs. Commonly used on items such as lanyards, stubby coolers, caps, toys, sports jersey and polos. It’s worth noting that sublimation printing occurs over a white base material, resulting in a visible white base underneath the product.
Screen Printing
Screen printing is a technique that involves pressing ink through a mesh screen to produce a printed design. However, unlike pad printing, screen printing is limited to solid colours and cannot achieve gradient effects.
In what instances is this method employed?
Primarily utilised for smaller items that require full-colour edge-to-edge designs. Commonly used on items such as lanyards, stubby coolers, caps, toys, sports jersey and polos. It’s worth noting that sublimation printing occurs over a white base material, resulting in a visible white base underneath the product.
