PRINTING AND BRANDING SERVICES

• To complement Durattract’s under-one-roof service the following services are provided for those clients who may require printing on products manufactured for them:
  
  
  • Hot stamping,
  • Screen printing,
  • Pad printing and
  • Engraving

• Hot Stamping Process:  A plate with a mirrored image of the graphic/logo is heated and then applied to the face of the product with a metal foil. This foil acts as a sandwich filler. When heat is applied, the foil is imprinted into the face surface of the product, taking the shape of the graphic with it.
  
  
• Screen Printing Process:  Colour is applied in varying layers, using a stretched silk screen mesh. A particular colour is squeezed through the screen's mesh onto the work surface (product) below.
  
  
• Pad Printing Process:  This process is most often used when the surface to be printed is not flat e.g. curved. This method uses a flexible pad which can take on the shape of the surface to be printed.
  
  
• Engraving Process:  Using a laser or a mechanical cutter, driven by a CNC machine, a word or logo can be etched into the surface of the finished product.
