Decorating Plastic Products with Digital Heat Transfers

Decorating Plastic Products with Digital Heat TransfersDigital heat transfers are one of the most popular solutions for decorating plastic, and for good reason. But we will get into that a little later. You see, manufacturers and ad specialty companies have a need for a cost-effective, efficient, and high quality way to decorate plastic products, whether a souvenir cup, a water bottle, a pen, or anything plastic for that matter. And there are numerous forms of product decoration out there: pad printing, screen printing, hot stamping, and, of course, digital heat transfers.

What are Digital Heat Transfers?

Heat transfers are a form of product decoration that uses heat, time (dwell), and pressure to apply a pre-printed graphic – in this case a digital graphic – to a part or product. While there are many different ways to print on objects today, digital heat transfers are one of the newest, fastest, most economic ways to do so.

The Benefits of Digital Heat Transfers

  1. Because the process is fully digital, setup is quick and easy.
  2. Digital images utilize four color printing (plus white) and are capable of hitting over 10,000,000 colors for fluid gradients and photo-quality images.
  3. Digital heat transfers, unlike other popular decorating methods, do not require any cure time. Once the image is transferred to the product, it is immediately ready to be packaged and shipped.
  4. With the highest speeds in the marketplace, digital heat transfers offer continuous motion decorating, precise positioning and repeatability.
  5. The process of applying a digital heat transfer ensures that the exact image will be replicated each time.

Additional Benefits of Digital Heat Transfers:

  • Affordable Short Runs
  • Durable
  • Lends to Automation
  • Incorporate Variable Data
  • Custom Colors / Formulation
  • Environmentally Friendly
  • Unlimited Possibilities

It is no wonder why 20% of the nearly 10,000 printing lines worldwide have already converted to digital. Another 50% are expected to convert by next year.  Will your business be one of them?
