Your logo, on the right surface, printed the right way

Most first-time buyers pick a print method by price and end up with a logo that peels after two washes. We match the method to the blank and the artwork — and show you a mock-up before anything is made.

Print methods

Eight ways we put a logo on a product

Tell us the product and the artwork; we will recommend the cheapest method that still looks right.

Silkscreen

1–4 spot colours

Flat, solid colours on non-woven, canvas and polyester

Cheapest per unit at volume. One screen per colour, so multi-colour logos add cost. Best on large flat panels.

Heat transfer

Full colour

Detailed or multi-colour logos on fabric

The artwork is printed onto transfer film then pressed on. Handles gradients and fine text that silkscreen cannot.

Sublimation

Full colour, edge to edge

All-over prints on polyester

Dye is absorbed into the fabric, so the print never cracks or peels. Ideal for drawstring bags where the whole panel is artwork.

Pad print

1–4 spot colours

Small, awkward or curved surfaces

A silicone pad transfers ink onto curved items — pen barrels, bottle caps, small rigid pieces.

Laser engraving

Tone on tone

Metal, PU leather, wood

Permanent, cannot wear off. Ideal for executive gift sets where a subtle tone-on-tone logo reads as premium.

Embroidery

Up to 12 threads

Towels, caps, bag panels

Stitched logos survive heavy washing and read as genuinely made-to-order rather than promotional filler.

Foil stamping

Metallic foils

Notebook and planner covers

Metallic gold, silver or rose gold on PU leather and linen. The default for corporate diary covers.

Debossing

Blind / single colour

PU leather covers

A recessed impression with no ink. Understated and popular with luxury and finance clients.

Sampling

Nothing goes to production before you approve a sample

A physical pre-production sample ships to you. Sampling is normally charged and then credited back against the production order once it is placed.

Free digital mock-up

Before you commit anything, we put your logo on a photograph of the actual product and send it over. One to two working days.

Physical sample

Printed on the real blank with the real method. You check colour, position and size on a physical object, not a screen.

Sample credit

Sample and courier cost is credited against the production invoice once the order is placed.

Order sizing

How quantity changes the price

100 – 500 pcs

The minimum viable trial run (104 published lines accept this range). Expect the top of the quoted band plus a one-off print set-up fee.

500 – 5,000 pcs

Where promotional gift economics actually work. Set-up cost amortises across the run and per-unit cost usually drops 20–35% versus a trial order.

5,000+ pcs

Container territory. Freight, packaging and print set-up all become marginal, and we will quote DDP so you can compare landed cost properly.
