Screen Printing, Pad Printing & Hot Foil Printing

Versatile printing methods to give you a head start in the promotional printing business.

Screen printing or silk screen printing as it is also known, is undoubtedly one of the most widely used product decoration methods, but if you add pad printing, which is also known as tampo printing and hot foil printing into the mix, you have three printing methods that would cover a very wide range of requirements indeed. Some products only lend themselves to being screen printed, while others may be quite suitable to be screen printed or pad printed. Hot foil printing is a little more product specific, but more about each method later on. If you want to know more about the types of products that are best suited to screen printing, pad printing and hot foil printing, simply follow the links to to the appropriate pages on the drop down menus of the navigation or from the list below.

Whether you are looking to start a new promotional printing business or simply add to your current printing capabilities, you can't go wrong by adding screen printing onto garments. Screen printed t-shirts, caps and many more items are always in high demand and with our high quality screen printing equipment, you will be able to tackle both complex and everyday screen printing jobs.

Maybe you already screen print and wish to add pad printing to your capabilities. Pad printing or tampo printing as it is also known, is an extremely versatile printing method. You can pad print onto a vast variety of products with complex shapes and do so as easily as if they were flat. By offering a pad printing service to your clients using our versatile pad printer, you can respond quickly and do even the shortest of print runs to satisfy the needs of smaller businesses, who generally don't wish to purchase thousands of printed items.

Hot foil printing is also a versatile process in it's own right, but very different to screen printing and pad printing as the process uses no wet inks. The effects that can be created with a hot foil printer can be quite stunning and the unique look of shiny metallic hot foil prints are hard to beat on the right product. There is another process called embossing or debossing that can be done with the same hot foil printer that you would use for standard hot foil printing and this can add a very classy touch to certain products.
