Screen Printing: The Song Dynasty in China first introduced this printing more than thousand years ago. Over the years, several enhancements have been made to make the process more efficient. Among the more popular printing processes, Screen Printing uses a framed mesh along with an ink-blocking stencil to create the desired image. Even though this process is commonly used to personalize clothing, they can be used on a variety of other materials such as paper and glass as well.

Pad Printing: This process transfers ink to a surface by using a metal plate. This plate has a film that creates the printable image on exposure to UV light. The plate is then stamped on a bulk of promotional products to provide accurate and timely printing. Pad printing can be used on a variety of surfaces such as glass, plastic, ceramic, wood and glass.

Laser Engraving: This process is simple and clean. The logos are loaded into a laser engraving system and then imprinted on products such as metallic pens, awards, jewelry and crystal ware.
