With digital heat transfers, short run metal decoration is fast, affordable, and delivers stunning results!
In this day and age most consumers have grown accustomed to not just getting what they want, but getting it as fast as possible. Speed and accuracy is a determining factor in almost all sales, and why shouldn’t it be? With constant technological advances on our side, going digital is the most efficient way to do nearly anything. Let’s talk about metal product decoration and how digital heat transfers have changed the game, making it faster and more affordable than ever.
Traditional Metal Decoration Methods
The metal decoration process has improved tremendously over the years. Traditional metal decoration methods involved cutting shapes (like cylinders for cans) out of sheets of metal that had been pre-printed with the desired information or image. This process is time consuming and offers little to no versatility. However, one of the largest setbacks for manufacturers and ad specialty companies is the inability to accommodate short runs. That’s where digital heat transfers come in.
Digital Heat Transfers and Durable Metal Product Decoration
Digital heat transfer technology is the future of product decoration for various substrates including metal, ceramic, glass, plastic, rubber, and more. Our eco-friendly process uses a combination of heat, pressure, and dwell time to apply a full-color digital image seamlessly to your part or product. This is perfect for metal decoration because it allows us to eliminate the headache and extreme cost associated with outdated metal decoration methods, while offering a short run printing solution. Digital heat transfers deliver the following benefits:
- Eco-friendly – Our dry process eliminates the need for messy ink and harsh chemicals
- Quick Turnaround – Your digital heat transfers are ready to be packaged almost immediately after application
- Short Run Printing – At last, an affordable on-demand metal decoration option!
- Versatility – We can accommodate variable data and unique identifiers such as batch numbers, QR codes, and barcodes
- Durability – Digital heat transfers permanently affix to your metal product and deliver incredible durability against dishwasher cycles, extreme temperatures, and more
