Digital Label is a digital print on a sticker, which is then placed on the USB. A full colour sticker is printed and is then cut with a plotter. The Digital label is then peeled off and applied onto the items.
Doming consists of printing the logo on a self-adhesive label domed with an acrylic resin layer. It is a durable solution and cannot be easily scratched or dented. Once the labels are combined with the acrylic resin, they are cured in an oven. After the curing process the doming labels are ready to be applied onto the USB stick.
Laser Engraving of text or a logo is precise, clean, permanent and luxurious. A digital logo will be sent to the laser machine. The top layer of the material will be ‘burned’ away and the logo then becomes visible.
Pad Printing is a technique where silicone stamps are used to print the logo on the USB stick. With this technique you achieve a sharper finish and a perfect colour matching (PMS) is achievable. Pad printing is the most used printing technique whereby a logo is engraved onto a metal plate and then transferred onto the item using a silicone pad, as ink does not adhere to silicone. Each colour must be printed separately.
Digital Printing is done by placing the USB stick under a full-colour digital printer. On a special UV digital printer, the imprint is printed directly onto the item. The image is created by firing many dots onto the printable surface, and combined they create a colour or image. Digital printing is most used for printing on flat and even surfaces as the distance from the printhead to the item is fixed. The printer can print CMYK colour mode but also white.
