Screen printing
Ink is pushed through a stencil, one colour per screen. It is the cheapest way to put a one- or two-colour logo on hundreds of t-shirts, jute bags or notebook covers. It does not suit gradients, photos or logos with more than three colours: each colour is another screen and more cost.
UV and digital printing
Full-colour ink is printed onto a hard surface and cured with UV light. Bottles, pens, power banks, speakers and gift boxes get full-colour logos this way, and there is no set-up per colour, so it suits small quantities. On curved products the print sits on the flatter band; the proof shows where.
Laser engraving
The laser removes the coating or etches the metal, leaving the logo in the material's own tone: silver on a powder-coated steel bottle, dark on wood. It is permanent and is the standard for steel drinkware, metal pens and awards. It gives one tone only, so send a one-colour version of your logo.
See drinkware →Embroidery
Thread stitched into fabric, for polos, shirts, hoodies, caps and bag panels. It survives every wash. Cost rises with stitch count, so a 9 cm chest logo is cheap and a full back panel is not. Text smaller than about 5 mm does not stitch clearly: simplify the logo or drop the tagline.
See apparel →Sublimation
Dye is heat-transferred into a coated surface or polyester fabric, so the image becomes part of the surface. It is used for full-colour mugs and all-over prints on dry-fit polos. It does not work on cotton or uncoated metal.
Embossing, debossing and foil
A metal die presses the logo into leather or PU (debossing) or raises it (embossing). Foil stamping adds a metallic layer in the same press. These are used on notebooks, wallets and gift boxes, and give the most understated result.

- A vector file: AI, EPS, SVG or PDF. A PNG or JPEG can lose detail.
- Pantone or CMYK values for brand colours.
- A one-colour version of the logo for engraving and one-colour prints.
- Where you want the logo (left chest, sleeve, back; front panel of the bag). If you do not say, the proof shows the standard position.
How the digital proof works
Once the order is confirmed, a mockup of your logo on the product (position, size, method, colour) is emailed within 24 hours. Nothing is printed until you approve it or ask for changes. Check it for colour, small text and logo width.
