- 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.

Direct Digital
Direct to product digital printing involves the transfer of ink directly from the print heads of an inkjet machine to the product and can be used to produce both spot colour and full colour branding on flat or slightly curved surfaces.

- Can print variable data including individual names.
- Only one set up charge is required irrespective of the number of print colours.
- Instant drying so products can be shipped immediately.
- Offers larger print areas on many products and can print very close to the edge of flat products.
Limitations
- Only approximate PMS colours can be reproduced.
- Some colours cannot be reproduced including metallic silver and gold.
- The size of branding areas is limited on curved surfaces.
- Larger print areas tend to be more expensive.
Artwork Requirements
- Artwork can be supplied in either vector or bitmap format.
- Bleed of 3mm should be added to the artwork if it bleeds off the product (the image goes to the edge).
