Our digital heat transfers can be applied seamlessly to ANY plastic part or promotional product!
Before the rise of digital heat transfers, there were many wet and dry processes that were believed to be the best practice for plastics decorating. Among the popular wet processes were silk screen printing, pad transfer printing, ink jet, and spray painting. Some of the popular dry processes include hot stamping, in-mold decorating, high fire/low fire decals, and laser engraving. But we are here to talk about the dry printing process that trumps them all – digital heat transfers.
How Do Digital Heat Transfers Differ From Hot Stamping?
Like digital heat transfers, hot stamping requires a combination of heat, pressure, and dwell time apply an image to a part or product. Hot stamp images are formed from the art in the dye, whereas digital heat transfers are pre-printed images that are digitally transferred to an adhesive film and applied. Non-digital heat transfers use silkscreen, gravure, or flexography methods to transfer images. Unlike hot stamps, heat transfers allow for diverse and multi-colored images.
Why Choose Digital Heat Transfers for Plastics Decorating?
Digital heat transfers are ideal for printing on various substrates, including plastic, metal, glass, ceramics, and more. The digital heat transfer process is dry, eco-friendly, affordable, and produces high-quality, customizable, multi-colored images with unmatched durability. Digital heat transfers meet the demands of manufacturers and ad specialities companies who are looking for an affordable SHORT RUN decorating solution!
