Learn everything about corporate gift printing and customization methods, and find out how to pick the right method for your company.
When it comes to corporate gifts, what really matters is leaving a lasting impression. That’s why we offer an array of customization methods to add your company’s touch to every gift. Maybe you’re drawn to the timeless charm of embroidery, the crisp precision of laser engraving, the refined feel of embossing or debossing, or the eye-catching colours of heat transfer, UV sublimation, digital printing, or silkscreen. Whatever you choose, we’ll make sure your gifts truly stand out and are remembered. Let’s delve into how these techniques can transform your corporate gifting.
Embroidery is all about stitching your design right onto the fabric, weaving in threads of different colours to bring it to life. This method is a great way to bring a sense of sophistication and texture to shirts, hats, or tote bags. The result? A design that not only looks elegant and textured, but also holds up beautifully through countless washes and everyday use.
Laser engraving takes a powerful beam and etches your design with pinpoint accuracy onto surfaces like metal, glass, or wood, giving each piece a crisp, polished finish. Laser engraving works especially well on metal bottles, pens, and card holders, leaving a lasting, polished finish that really brings out the finer details.
With embossing, your design stands out in relief above the surface; debossing, on the other hand, sinks the design down into the material itself. For both methods, a custom metal die is made from your design, then pressed into the material with a combination of heat and pressure. This technique really shines when used on leather goods, notebooks, or even packaging. The end result is a rich, textured finish that instantly elevates any corporate gift with a sense of style and sophistication.
Heat transfer relies on heat to press designs onto fabric, which makes it a great choice for bold, intricate, and colourful images. First, your design is printed onto a special transfer paper; then, that paper is laid on the fabric and heated until the image transfers over. As the heat works its magic, the design bonds to the fabric, creating colours that are both vivid and built to last. It’s a great choice for shirts, bags, or towels—your design will really stand out with bold, eye-catching detail.
UV sublimation uses ultraviolet light to infuse dye directly into materials, resulting in vibrant, photo-quality images bursting with color. When UV light hits the dye, it transforms into a gas that fuses right into the material, resulting in images that are both vivid and long-lasting. UV sublimation really shines on items like mugs, lanyards, and apparel, delivering crisp, vibrant images that stand the test of time.
Digital printing puts your design straight onto the material, much like how your regular home or office printer works. If you’ve got a detailed, full-colour design in mind—think anything from vibrant shirts to eye-catching bags or sleek notebooks—digital printing handles it all beautifully. You end up with a sharp, polished look that really brings out every detail and makes the colours pop.
With silkscreen printing, ink is pressed through a stencil, bringing your design to life one colour at a time. It all begins by making a separate screen for every color in your design; each one is used to add the ink, layer after layer. Silkscreen printing really shines when you want bold, straightforward designs on things like tote bags, t-shirts, or promotional swag. The outcome is a consistent and sharp finish that’s both cost-effective and reliable for large orders.
