Printing templates and finishing
This is how writing instruments become elegant advertising media!
FINISHING
Our mission is to create an optimal writing advertising medium. For this we use the most innovative and modern finishing park in Europe.
We are happy to share our many years of experience with you to ensure satisfaction in the long term.
In order to achieve the best printing results it may be necessary to underlay the print with white or to implement a double print.
In these cases we will coordinate additional printing costs with you.
Silk printing (S, MS, GS)
This is the most popular and efficient method of
finishing writing instruments by printing on the barrel.
The image to be printed will be generated from the
artwork and then applied to the screen using a
photochemical process. In this process, only the areas
of printing are permeable to ink, causing images to
appear on the print substrate by means of a pressing
process. With screen printing it is possible to achieve
multi-colour and all-round prints, which makes optimum
use of the promotional surface of the ballpoint pen.
This means, that line as well as grid templates can be
implemented. Please contact our experts if you require
further detailed information.
Pad Printing (T, MT, GT, TT)
Pad printing allows to print on concave and convex
surfaces. When it comes to printing on clips it’s mostly
done by pad printing or multi-coloured image printing.
A film will be generated from the artwork, thereof a
cliché will be created. By using a silicone pad (like a
rubbered stamp) the colour will be transferred from
the cliché onto a substrate. The advertising surface of
cylindrical writing instruments have a maximum height
of 2/3rds of the diameter. Pad printing can be used on
any material.
Laser technology (L, RL, EL)
The laser technology opens up completely new
possibilities of manufacturing because even finer
and more precise processing are possible, with any
materials. Especially with metal surfaces, the laser
shows its full strength, by removing accurate to the
millimetre a fine layer of the writing instruments
surface. Thanks to the latest laser technology,
high-gloss personalisation and 360°-engraving are
included in the uma assortment.
uma Digital printing (HD)
Impress your customers – rapidly, directly and with a
personal touch – digital printing enables your desired
ballpoint pen to be created very simply. Curtains ups
for your ideas and on a gamut of promotional messages:
Brightly coloured logos, colour schemes and
gradations, even in small production runs – virtually no
other printing technique delivers this level of flexibility.
All you need to consider is, the colour shades which will
here be converted into CMYK, may vary slightly from
the exact PMS colours. The printing technology is
limited to plane surfaces and can’t be used on concave
and convex surfaces.
