These are the decoration methods this product can be branded with.
Pad Print
A soft silicone pad picks your logo up from an etched plate and stamps it onto the product. Because the pad flexes, it can print onto curved and uneven surfaces that flat methods cannot reach.
- Colours
- Up to 4 colours
- Print areas
- Pen - Positions D & E - 60mm x 7mm · Notebook - 55mm x 55mm or 65mm x 35mm
- Best for
- Small, crisp marks on pens, bottle lids, and other curved or awkwardly shaped items.
- Not ideal for
- Large print areas or heavy solid coverage — the pad can only carry so much ink in one pass.
Screen Print
Ink is pushed through a fine mesh screen onto the product, one screen per colour. The ink sits on the surface as a thin, slightly raised layer that you can feel with a fingertip.
- Colours
- Up to 4 colours
- Print area
- Notebook - 115mm x 185mm
- Best for
- Bold, flat spot colours and simple logos, especially over larger runs — the setup is per colour, so the more units you order the cheaper each one gets.
- Not ideal for
- Photographs, gradients, or artwork with many colours, since each colour needs its own screen.
Rotary Screen Print
Ink is pushed through a fine mesh screen onto the product, one screen per colour. The ink sits on the surface as a thin, slightly raised layer that you can feel with a fingertip.
- Colours
- Up to 4 colours
- Print area
- Pen - Position A - 65mm x 12mm
- Best for
- Bold, flat spot colours and simple logos, especially over larger runs — the setup is per colour, so the more units you order the cheaper each one gets.
- Not ideal for
- Photographs, gradients, or artwork with many colours, since each colour needs its own screen.
Laser Engraving
A laser burns away the top surface layer, revealing the material beneath. On metal that means a frosted, tone-on-tone mark; on timber, a darker scorched line. Nothing is added to the product, so there is no ink to scratch off.
- Print area
- Pen - Positions D & E - 80mm x 7mm (Recommended)
- Best for
- Drinkware, tools, and metal or timber gifts where a permanent, understated finish matters.
- Not ideal for
- Anything needing colour — engraving cannot add any. You get the material's own contrast.
Direct Digital
The artwork is printed straight onto the product by a digital printer, much like an office printer but with inks formulated for the surface. No screens or plates are made.
- Colours
- Full colour
- Print area
- Notebook - 115mm x 190mm
- Best for
- Detailed, multi-colour artwork and short runs, since there is little per-order setup.
- Not ideal for
- Very large solid blocks of colour, which can look flatter than a screen print.
Debossing
A heated metal die is pressed into the surface, permanently reshaping it to your logo. Debossing presses the mark in; embossing raises it out. Nothing is printed, so there is no ink or thread to wear away — the logo is the material's own shape.
- Print area
- Notebook - 100mm x 90mm
- Best for
- Leather, PU, silicone and soft-touch finishes where an understated, tactile mark suits the product better than a printed one.
- Not ideal for
- Colour, fine detail, or small text — you get shape and shadow only, so a logo that relies on colour contrast will disappear.
Debossing XL
A heated metal die is pressed into the surface, permanently reshaping it to your logo. Debossing presses the mark in; embossing raises it out. Nothing is printed, so there is no ink or thread to wear away — the logo is the material's own shape.
- Print area
