Digital UV Printing 360
Compared to round screen, it’s possible to print full colour images. UV ink technology does not emit volatile organic compounds to the atmosphere. When combined with white underprint – possibilities are limitless on transparent objects.
Laser Marking
Next level for inkless decoration, now possible on cylindrical products. Compared to conventional engraving, area is limited by circumference of cylindrical object. Can be used on mugs with handles. Best results on natural materials.
Sublimation
Printed with special inks on transfer paper, transferred to material using high temperatures.Photographic quality of printed images, vivid colours and accuracy of small details. Requires white background and coated ceramic or polyester material.
Digital Printing
UV flat bed inkjet technology allows you to print vivid full colour images on various materials – artificial and natural.Compared to Digital printing 360 – technique requires flat, rigid products. White underprint possible.
Screen Printing
Image exposed on a screen mesh, through which ink is squeezed to the marked surface. Main advantage is large printing area on flat surfaces, almost any material, with possibility to use special colours. First choice for textiles.
Round Screen Printing
Evolution of screen printing allowing print on to cylindrical and conical products. Compared to pad printing, technique allows for a bigger printing area. Can be used on mugs with handles. Maximum of 2 colours. Special colours available for bulk orders.
Doming
Digitally printed full colour label on self-adhesive polymer foil, covered by a thick layer of transparent epoxy resin, which both protects the image, as well as giving a premium, glossy look and finish.
Digital Transfer
Digitally printed image on carrier foil with heat activated glue, applied in high temperature and pressure. Features full colour photographic quality and sharp details. Gives a premium look and feel, especially on textile materials.
Embroidery
Computerized stitching allows complex artworks being sewn in the material, creating premium and permanent marking. Maximum of 8 colours in one image. Possible on textile materials like bags, t-shirts, jackets, etc, as well as caps.
Debossing
The engraved metal stamp is heated and is pressed against the material creating a permanent impression in the shape of the customer’s artwork. Best results can be achieved on leather, PU, cardboard materials,like notebooks, organizers.
UV DTF
Print vibrant, high-resolution designs on almost any surface with zero weeding or hassle.Perfect for custom branding and on unique shape objects and durable.

Conventional way of indirect printing using screen print. Can be applied on materials and places, where direct screen printing is not possible, in addition up to 8 different colours can be used on one image. Special colours available.
Pad Printing
Image transferred to surface from engraved cliché by silicone tampon. Most versatile marking technique on almost any rigid shape and material. Maximum of 4 colours. Special colours available. Cost efficient technique on small items.
Engraving
Engraving is permanent, by selectively removing microscopic layers of material, thus creating visible marks on the surface. Colour varies depending on processed material. Best results on natural materials (metals, wood, bamboo, etc.).
