  • Close PMS matches are possible on white or light coloured products.
  • Metallic gold and silver is available.

  Limitations

  • Halftones cannot be consistently reproduced.
  • The size of branding areas is limited on curved surfaces.
  • Unable to print variable data.
  • Close PMS matches are more difficult on darker products and will only be approximate.
  • Minor print distortion may occur on uneven or curved surfaces.
  • Pad print inks require a curing period before the product can be shipped.
  • A set up charge is required for each colour to be printed.

  Rotary Digital Print

  Direct to product rotary digital printing involves the transfer of UV ink and a varnish coating from inkjet print heads and can be used to produce detailed gloss artwork using both closely matched spot colours and full colour branding.

  Advantages

  • Ideal for large or complex full colour gloss prints.
  • The print is dry and ready to ship as soon as the product is printed.

  • No loss of print vibrancy, even on darker products.

  Limitations

  • Production speed is limited so lead times can be longer in some cases.
  • Some colours cannot be reproduced including metallic and neon/fluorescent colours.
  • As the print does not wrap completely around the product, there is a small gap between the start and end of the print.
  • More expensive than other branding options.

  Artwork Requirements

  • Artwork can be supplied in either vector or bitmap format.
  • Bitmaps supplied ideally 300dpi resolution at the actual print size.
  • Fonts are advised to be converted to outlines/objects to avoid font conflicts.
