Methods of imprinting
Services offered to our customers:
SUBLIMATION - the process or 4 colour
process or spot colours on metal material such as DynaSub.
Other materials can be sublimated as well that are coated
with a substance that accepts sublimation
dye inks. Picture below is an example of sublimation.
Setup and running charges are inexpensive
as compared to other methods. Name badges are a great
example of this process because name
changes are very difficult with other processes.
CO2
LASER ENGRAVING - the machine allows us to mark
different materials such as acrylic, wood, plastics,
brass painted, aluminum painted, cork, glass, crystal, and
many other types of materials. The laser is very
precise and can cut materials is another process that the
laser easily manages. Wood boards use to be
the classic example of a typical award that can be laser
engraved but now there are many products made that can
be lasered.
YAG (Ng) LASER ENGRAVING - materials
that can not be engraved by the CO2 will need to be engraved by a YAG.
Typical materials are silver items or gold items stainless
steel items and pewter items.
EMBROIDERY - imprinting on textiles
with yarn (stitches). Excellent for smaller clothing volumes but also
affordable for
larger volumes. Colours are plentiful but PMS matching
is not possible but close matches are found. Excellent process
for hats, touques, jackets, shirts and other clothing items.
Personalization
SCREEN PRINTING - the process of
applying paint to a material.
Clothing, glassware and other items can be screen printed.
This process is best utilized when volumes are large, screen
charges (setup) are expensive but
running charges are inexpensive.
PAD PRINTING
CUSTOM MEDALLIONS - ARTWORK for DESIGNS
Please send artwork files to

imprinting/customization of awards and promotional items are;
- digital files such as Corel Draw
