With Digital heat transfers, short run metal decoration is not only possible, but affordable.
Promotional products come in all shapes and sizes, each with the same common goal = promote your business, build your reputation, make more money. We have already told you why digital heat transfers are the best way to decorate plastic products in 2016 – but did you know that they are the best way to decorate metal products also?! Let us tell you why digital heat transfers are ideal for metal product decoration.
Metal Product Decoration: Short Runs ARE Possible!
Manufacturers, contract decorators and ad specialty companies require a cost-effective, efficient and high quality method for decorating metal promotional products. Digital heat transfers provide that solution. Before, most metal promotional products (such as travel mugs) were screen printed and required expensive screen setups or had large quantity minimums. With this process, short run decoration is impossible – making digital heat transfers the leading method for durable, cost-effective and beautiful metal product decoration. Talk about a major benefit!
Why Digital Heat Transfers Are The Best Way to Print Metal
Digital heat transfer technology is an increasingly popular method for decorating plastics, glass, metal and other substrates. The process uses heat, pressure and dwell time to apply a pre-printed graphic seamlessly to a part of product. Digital heat transfers are beneficial in these ways:
- Durability: Metal products decorated using digital heat transfers are the most durable on the market – especially beneficial for washable promotional items like metal bottles!
- High Quality Images: Digital heat transfers are capable of hitting over 10,000 colors, and custom colors/formulation is available.
- Speed: The dry process of digital heat transfers requires no clean up or cure time before your product is ready to be packaged and shipped! Because the process is fully digital, it doesn’t require the use of messy ink or chemicals.
- Short Run Printing: With this process, short runs are possible and affordable – something other metal decoration methods cannot offer.
