With Digital heat transfers, short run metal decoration is not only possible, but affordable.
Manufacturers and ad specialty companies require a cost-effective method for decorating a metal container after the container is at least partially formed. However, until fairly recently most metal products, such as aluminum cans, were formed from pre-printed metal sheets. While this produces an aesthetically pleasing, durable image, it does not allow for short run decoration. The solution: Digital Heat Transfers.
Digital Heat Transfers Make Short Run Metal Decoration Possible
One of the most popular methods for decorating plastics, glass, metal and many other substrates, digital heat transfers are a form of product decorating that uses heat and pressure to apply a pre-printed graphic to a part or product. These transfers are beneficial for a number of reasons:
- Digital heat transfers are just that – digital. Set up is quick and easy and, because they are digital, variable data – bar codes, numbers, etc. – can be incorporated into each and every image.
- Digital heat transfers utilize a dry printing method and require no cure time before they are ready to be packaged and shipped.
- Digital heat transfers produce photo-quality images. The printing process is capable of hitting over 10,000,000 colors.
- Digital heat transfers, because they are flexible, are one of a few available methods for decorating shaped metal products.
- With Digital heat transfers, short run metal decoration is not only possible, but affordable.
- And More!
Digital heat transfers consistently outperform in-mold labeling, pad printing, pressure sensitive labeling, screen printing, and more.
