Digital Heat Transfers
Our digital heat transfers utilise 1200dpi dry toner technology with CMYK plus white toner capabilities. This solvent-free process produces photo-realistic images on thermoplastic items, supporting variable data and Pantone spot colours. The technology eliminates origination costs while maintaining 9.6m/min production speeds for efficient short and long runs.
Silkscreen Transfers
Traditional silkscreen transfers complement our digital offerings, enabling metallic inks and precise Pantone matching. This method works alongside conventional hot foiling techniques for applications requiring specific material characteristics or larger production volumes with consistent colour reproduction.
Product Decoration
We specialise in branding promotional items including drinkware, cosmetics, and office supplies. Our Photofoil technology applies full-colour graphics to products like lipstick tubes and waiter trays, combining nonslip coatings with high-impact visual branding solutions for marketing campaigns.
Hot Foiling Machines
Our custom-built hot foiling machines handle transfers on items ranging from 20mm pens to 1-metre display panels. The equipment accommodates complex curves and integrates with production lines for immediate handling and packaging post-decoration.
Eco-Friendly Printing
Our solvent-free digital process reduces environmental impact through FDA-compliant toners and reduced material waste. The 'print-as-needed' model minimises storage requirements while meeting regulatory standards for food contact safety and VOC emissions control.
