What's a corporate gift without proper branding?

Here at Gadgetbox, we make it a top priority to make your company logo pop and to ensure it's in the right place and size.

Below are the types of printing and branding we are able to offer, along with some examples of previous projects:

 

• Screen printing: Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface.

  • Most commonly used for: paper, wood, plastic, textile, ceramic, metal, fur

 

• Rotogravure: Rotogravure (gravure for short) is a type of intaglio printing process, that is, it involves engraving the image onto an image carrier. In gravure printing, the image is engraved onto a copper cylinder because, like offset and flexography, it uses a rotary printing press.

  • Most commonly used for: unusual shapes like toys, instruments, bottles, etc.

 

• Offset printing: Offset printing is a widely used printing technique where the inked image is transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket, then to the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat (planographic) image carrier on which the image to be printed obtains ink from ink rollers, while the non-printing area attracts a film of water, keeping the non-printing areas ink-free

 

• Digital printing: Digital printing is developing because of the development of computer and industrial printing technology. In this type, some parts or the entire process is digital. It contains many types like digital workflow, ERP, etc.

  • Most commonly used for: thin products such as paper, cards, PVC, etc.

 

• Heat transfer: A thermal printer produces a printed image by selectively heating coated thermo chromic paper, or thermal paper as it is commonly known, when the paper passes over the thermal print head. The coating turns black in the areas where it is heated, producing an image. Two-color direct thermal printers are capable of printing both black and an additional color , by applying heat at two different temperatures. 

  • Most commonly used for: regular individual products like mugs, Tshirts, etc.

 

• Foil stamping: Foil stamping is the application of pigment or metallic foil, often gold or silver, but can also be various patterns or what is known as pastel foil which is a flat opaque color or white special film-backed material, to paper where a heated die is stamped onto the foil, making it adhere to the surface leaving the design of the die on the paper. 

  • Most commonly used for: books, gift boxes, invitation cards, pens, etc.

 

• Engraving: Engraving is the practice of incising a design on to a hard, usually flat surface, by cutting grooves into it. The result may be a decorated object in itself, as when silver, gold, steel, or glass are engraved, or may provide an intaglio printing plate, of copper or another metal, for printing images on paper as prints or illustrations.

 

• Stickers: for a quick and inexpensive solution, we have the ability to print your company logo on transparent stickers and to place them directly on the product.
