Printing processes are methods used to transfer designs or text onto various products.
Mindvision offers a range of printing processes, including screen printing, digital printing, foil blocking, transfer printing, embroidery and more.
There are various factors to consider, such as the type of product, the look you want to achieve, your budget, and the complexity of your design. We can help you identify the best printing processes that align with your branding requirements and goals.
TAbsolutely! We consider factors like the material of your items, your branding goals, the desired effect (e.g., sleek, vibrant, or subtle), and your budget. Based on this, we can recommend the most effective branding methods to ensure your promotional items make a lasting impact.
Screen printing is a method where ink is pressed through a stencil to create designs on products. It’s ideal for bold, vibrant designs on fabrics, bags, and apparel.
Foil blocking involves applying a metallic or coloured foil to a surface using heat and pressure. It’s perfect for adding a luxurious, eye-catching finish to items like business cards, stationery, and premium packaging.
Transfer printing transfers a printed design from special paper to a product using heat. This process is great for detailed, full-colour images on textiles, mugs, and other promotional items.
Laser engraving uses a laser to achieve etched effect designs or text onto a surface. It’s ideal for achieving a precise, professional look on metal, glass, wood, and leather items.
Digital printing directly prints digital images onto a product using high-quality inks. It’s perfect for detailed, full-colour designs on a wide range of materials, especially when quick turnaround is needed.
Digital transfer printing prints a design digitally and then transfers it onto a product with heat. This method is excellent for achieving high-quality, full-colour images on fabrics, especially for small or complex designs.
Embossing creates a raised design on a surface by pressing it from the back. It’s ideal for adding a tactile, sophisticated touch to products like business cards, notebooks, and leather goods.
Debossing creates a sunken design by pressing the material from the front. This technique is great for subtle, elegant branding on items like leather products, journals, and packaging.
Embroidery uses thread to stitch designs onto fabric-based products. It’s perfect for creating a high-end, durable finish on clothing, hats, and bags.
