Currently, many metal products – think aluminum cans – are formed from pre-printed sheets of metal. These sheets are then cut, formed into cylinders (or other shapes), filled, and processed for distribution. While efficient, this type of production is not ideal for manufacturers and ad specialty companies who require a high quality, short run solution for Metal Decoration.
Metal Decoration is Possible with Digital Heat Transfers
Manufacturers and ad specialty companies require a method of decorating a metal container after the container is at least partially formed. This will make short run decorating not only possible, but cost effective. The solution: Digital Heat Transfers.
Heat transfer decorating is a dry process that uses pre-printed decals, which are then bonded to a part/substrate (in this case metal) using heat and pressure. This form of metal decoration has become increasingly popular amongst manufactures looking for simplified, cost effective, high quality, consistent product decoration.
Benefits of Digital Heat Transfers
- Transfers utilize four colors to achieve quality similar to that of a fine glossy magazine.
- With other decorating technologies, inks need to dry, solvents need to be flamed off, or other curing processes need to take place. Digital transfer decorating is a dry process with no cure time (except for glass and ceramics).
- Each image in a print run can be different.
- And So Much More!
