OUR BRANDING

IN-HOUSE BRANDING SOLUTIONS

Whilst choosing the perfect promotional product for your campaign provides the platform for your logo or message to be placed in your customer’s hands, it’s HOW YOU BRAND that product that makes a lasting impression.

Whether you prefer to keep it traditional with laser engraving or make a splash with high-impact full-color printing, we employ the latest technology and in-house processes to get the job done!

To learn more about our in-house branding solutions, check out our branding videos below.

Screen Printing is the process whereby a logo is exposed onto a mesh screen, with the blank areas coated with an impermeable substance. Ink is then placed onto the screen and a squeegee pushes the ink through the screen in the areas where the logo has been imposed. Colours are printed one at a time so accurate registration is essential.

• Cost-effective solution for larger quantities

• Provides excellent coverage and is especially good for large and bold logos

• Ideal for bags and t-shirts but can also be used for umbrellas, coolers and smaller items like notebooks and folders<br>
• Allows single and multi-colour branding ( up to 6 colours )

Sublimation Printing is a process done by way of a digital full-colour printer which is fitted with special sublimation inks. The logo is printed onto a special transfer paper and cut automatically to the correct shape. The logo is then placed onto the product and heat is applied, causing the inks to migrate from the paper onto the product.

• Ensures premium full-colour photorealistic prints

• Flexibility characteristics of the product are not affected since the ink simply migrates to the product

• Only suitable for white products made from polyester fabric
( minimum 60% ) and polymer coated products

Make a statement that can’t be ignored with full-colour, digitally branded Belly Bands. A superb way to ensure enhanced visibility for your brand, they are perfect for adding a finishing touch to notebooks.

• An additional platform to communicate your marketing message in a unique and high-impact manner

• Offers prime space for optimising brand information and strengthening your message on notebooks

Embroidery

Embroidery is the art of decorating fabric with designs stitched in strands of thread. Driven by computers that read digitized embroidery files, embroidery machines automatically create a design on the product in the form of the logo that was input into the machine.

• Classic decoration technique

• Creates a high value look

• Allows single and multi-colour branding

• Logos can be embroidered in up to 9 different thread colours

A die in the shape of a logo is pressed into the surface of a product using both heat and pressure, creating a permanent stamped impression in the product.

• Creates a unique 3D look

• Subtle and classy branding method

• Ideal for genuine and imitation leather products, as well as PU

A full-colour digital image is printed onto a special transfer paper. This paper is then coated with a unique powdered glue which is cured onto the ink with UV rays. Thereafter it is placed onto the product which is inserted into a heat press and the heat from the press allows the print to be transferred directly onto the fabric.

• Perfect for complex logos with multiple colours, shading and gradients, small text and intricate detail as ink is not absorbed by the material, resulting in sharper artwork with excellent clarity

• A high-impact branding method with a bold and vibrant
photo-realistic result that brings your brand to life

Employing the latest customised UV technology we are able to digitally print full-colour, high-definition digital images directly onto notebooks.

• Ideal for intricate logos with multiple colours, shading, gradients and small text

• A high-impact branding method producing excellent clarity and photo-realistic result

Digital Printing On Drinkware

This new UV printing process provides for the application of a full-colour digital wrap print directly onto drinkware.

• Great for printing artwork with vivid colours, multiple tones and gradients

• Ideal for replicating logos with fine detail and small text

• A photo-realistic branding method that allows your logo or marketing message to make an impact

Domed Stickers

Stickers are digitally printed on an adhesive vinyl in full-colour and then automatically cut to the required shape and size. The stickers are coated with a polyurethane resin to give a three-dimensional appearance.

• Ideal for multi-colour logos which are hard to replicate with other print techniques

• Can be applied to smooth and rigid surfaces but works best on products with a purpose-made recessed plaque

Stickers are digitally printed in full-colour on an adhesive vinyl and then automatically cut to almost any shape.

• Cost-effective, low or high-volume, multi-colour branding method

• Strong resistance to fading or damage

• Can only be applied to flat or slightly curved surfaces

Foil Hot Stamping

Hot Stamping with foil is a similar process to debossing except that a thin foil is pressed into the product to create a colour. Even though heat and pressure are applied, they are applied in lesser volume than during debossing and therefore the impression is not as deep.

• Creates an exceptional superior impression

• Ideal for genuine and imitation leather products as well as PU

• Foils are available in lack, blue, gold, green, light blue, orange, red, rose gold, rose pattern, silver and white ( Pantone matches are not possible )

A logo is burned into a product with a CO2 laser by removing the top layer of the item to expose the second layer.

• Replicate original logos with great accuracy and in minute detail.

• Permanent and classy way to brand certain organic materials like glass, leather and wood

Laser Engraving

A logo is etched into a metal product with a laser beam, replicating the logo with precise accuracy. The laser “burns” the top layer of the product off and reveals the layer beneath. If the layer beneath is a different colour to the top layer, when engraved, the bottom layer’s colour is exposed.

• Creates a subtle, permanent and upmarket impression in tonal shades

• Perfect for awards, BBQ accessories, flasks, keyholders, pens and mugsA logo is etched into a metal product with a laser beam, replicating the logo with precise accuracy. The laser “burns” the top layer of the product off and reveals the layer beneath. If the layer beneath is a different colour to the top layer, when engraved, the bottom layer’s colour is exposed.

• Creates a subtle, permanent and upmarket impression in tonal shades

• Perfect for awards, BBQ accessories, flasks, keyholders, pens and mugs

Using a state-of-the-art laser, the dye from the material surface is removed from a garment by way of a laser etching technique, creating a modern tone-on-tone look which cannot be replicated by any other process. This process creates highly detailed images/logos across zippers and over buttons and seams without damaging the garment or compromising the integrity of waterproof material.

Pad Printing is an offset printing process that involves ink being transferred from an engraved metal plate onto a product via a silicone pad, creating an image on the product. Each colour is applied separately but the detail in the print can still be excellent.

• Great all-round solution that’s fast and economical

• Can be applied on virtually any shape

• Suitable for most surface textures

• Favoured for small plastic items like pens, keyholders and torches

• Allows single and multi-colour branding ( up to 4 colours )

Direct to Product Printing provides for the application of full-colour logos directly onto the product. By using specifically engineered jigs, a specialised digital printing head transfers UV-cured ink onto flat or slightly curved surfaces with photo-print quality and bold, vivid colours.

• Provides a way to print permanent, full-colour logos

• High impact branding method that creates a lasting impression

• Can be applied on many shapes and sizes

The branding methods we offer are:
 
⦁ Screen printing
⦁ Laser engraving 
⦁ Embossing 
⦁ Debossing
⦁ Digital printing 
⦁ Embroidery
⦁ Doming/dome stickers
⦁ Pad printing 
⦁ Sublimation printing
⦁ Heat transfer printing

⦁ Vinyl stickers
⦁ Debossing
⦁ Belly bands for notebooks
⦁ Digital transfer printing (DTC)

Please note that we only proceed with branding once the artwork has been approved and the 80% deposit has been paid.

In order to do your artwork for branding, we require your company logo or design in a high-resolution vector format.

Before we do any branding, we prepare artwork of what your branding will look like on the item.

This is to give you an idea of what the final product will look like.

We will only proceed with branding once you have approved the pre-production artwork.

Vector artwork is the highest quality of artwork which is in the original design format.
We cannot brand without it.

To check if your artwork is Vector, zoom into the image and if you see pixilated edges, it means that your artwork is non-Vector.

Vector artwork will remain crisp and clear no matter how much you zoom into the image.

Another way to check, is if you click on your artwork and if a blue block appears around it, it means that your artwork is non-Vector.

Adobe Illustrator (.ai)
EPS (.eps)
Freehand (.fh)
Corel Draw (.cdr)

When your logo or artwork contains wording in a specific font and the font is not converted to curves, it remains in a text format.
If your logo or artwork is not converted to curves, it cannot be edited in the design programme which is used to edit your logo/artwork for branding.

If we do not have the font that the wording was created in, the design programme will automatically convert it to a different font that we do have.

This will compromise your logo or artwork and the font will not be the same as what was used in the original artwork.

To convert your logo or artwork to Curves, your logo/artwork needs to be opened on a computer that has the required font installed and converted to curves.

The design programme should read the font as a drawing instead of text and, as such, the programme will not require a font.

Alternatively, can send us the required font file so we can install it and open the file for you.

A pantone colour is the colour reference number of your logo/artwork colour(s).

The code is used to make sure that every printer during the branding process, matches the colour of your pantone.

To ensure that we print your logo according to your corporate identity and/or branding manual, it is vital that we match your pantone colour correctly.

When you place your order and supply us with your Vector logo/artwork, it is important to specify your pantone colours.

If you do not have an exact pantone colour, we will use a pantone colour that closely matches your logo.

Please note that not all branding methods can guarantee an exact pantone match.

Set-up is a cost which is added to your order, which takes into consideration the configuration of the machine used during the production run of your order.

This is a fixed cost which is linked to the order batch, which means that the cost is spread over the number of units produced.

Branding guidelines are available for each item that can be branded.

When a new product or clothing item is introduced, a sample of that item is sen to production where tests are performed to determine what branding can be done or not on the item.

After this process is completed, information is compiled to create a branding guideline for the item.

This information indicates:
Which branding methods can be done on the item
Which branding positions can be branded on the item
The number of colours the item can be printed with
The maximum branding size.

Yes!
You can add multiple logo’s/text onto most items, just bear in mind that items will have maximum branding area’s.
We advise that you view the branding guideline for items

Every product and item of clothing is tested before a branding guideline is created, in order to determine the best possible option for branding.

Branding has to be done on the flattest part of the item that is free of any obstruction so if a product has a seam or border, it limits the available space for branding.

This applies to curved surfaces as it causes the branding to be distorted.

In addition, item quality and production is taken into consideration, as to maintain our high standard of branding.

Every item has different capabilities and limitations regarding branding.

For example a cooler bag is tricky to screen print with more than one colour.

This is because cooler bags have a lining which prevents the application of a light glue spray to the board that the cooler bag is loaded on so as to prevent movement of the cooler bag during screen printing.

Only the bottom layer of the lining adheres to the board leaving the top layer loose; as a result we cannot ensure that all of the colours in the logo will register or line up correctly.

So we have to restrict the number of colours that we brand on a certain items.

This ensures that the branding position is consistent and that, when branding more than one colour, the registration of the logo is correct.

Another reason for the number of print colours being restricted, is due to the type of material that the item is made of.

When we brand a multi-colour logo the print must be dried after each individual colour is laid down.

Some items cannot withstand long periods of heat so we cannot dry each individual colour when branding and we have to restrict the number of print colours.
