Whether decorating a souvenir cup, water bottle, pen, or cosmetic tube, manufacturers and ad specialty companies all run into the same challenges. They require high quality images, short run solutions, and, perhaps most importantly, they require all of this at an affordable rate. The solution: Digital Heat Transfers. One of the most popular methods for decorating plastics (and the only digital solution for decorating glass), digital heat transfers consistently outperform in-mold labeling, pressure sensitive labeling, and silk screen decorating.
