Get a Custom Imprint Design and Show Off Your Style

Getting a customized design for your business imprinted on shirts, caps, wristbands, and lanyards is a great way to increase your brand’s awareness and boost company morale. Through this design process, you can create one-of-a-kind items that can serve as giveaways in corporate networking events like trade shows and job fairs. Custom imprinting can also be used to create stylish company swag your team can proudly and happily flaunt to the world.

There are several custom imprint design options to choose from, and depending on your budget and the style you’re looking for, one might suit you better than the rest. Here are some examples of custom imprinting methods offered by many custom printing companies:

Screen Printing

Screen printing is a popular custom imprinting method that involves pushing ink through a mesh screen onto a substrate, such as fabric, paper, or plastic. It’s known for its vibrant colors and durability. To create a screen-printed design, a stencil of the desired image is made on a mesh screen, with each color requiring a separate screen. Ink is then applied to the screen and pushed through the mesh onto the substrate using a squeegee. The substrate is then dried or cured to set the ink. This method is ideal for apparel, drawstring backpacks, and signage.

Embroidery

Embroidery is a technique that involves stitching a design onto fabric using specialized embroidery machines. However, before the design is stitched onto the fabric, it’s first digitized into a format that’s readable by machines. Fabric is then hooped securely and placed under the machine’s needle. Once the machine knows what digitized pattern to follow, it stitches the design onto the fabric using various stitching techniques and thread colors. Embroidery is commonly used for adding logos, monograms, or decorative patterns to clothing, hats, bags, and other textiles. A commonly seen embroidery imprint that is instantly recognizable are those on school jackets, especially for the bigger universities like De La Salle University, Ateneo De Manila, and the University of the Philippines.

Heat Press Printing

Also known as heat transfer printing, heat press printing is a method where a design is transferred onto a substrate using heat and pressure. It starts by printing the design onto a special transfer paper using dye-sublimation inks or pigment inks. Next, the printed transfer paper is placed onto the substrate, such as a t-shirt or mug. Heat and pressure are applied using a heat press machine, causing the ink to transfer from the paper onto the substrate, creating a permanent bond. Once the transfer process is complete, the paper is removed, leaving behind the printed design on the substrate. Due to its process, heat press printing is popular for customizing garments, bags, and other items with intricate designs or photographs.

Embossing

Embossing is a custom imprinting process that creates a raised design on paper or other materials by pressing them between two dies. It’s often used for adding texture and visual interest to stationery, packaging, and promotional materials or products like wristbands. To emboss a design, a die—often made of metal or plastic—with the desired raised pattern is created. Then, the substrate, such as paper or cardstock, is placed between the die and a matching counter die, which is a mirror image of the design. Pressure is then applied to the dies, pressing the substrate between them and creating a raised impression of the design on the surface. Embossing can be done with or without adding color, depending on the desired effect.

Debossing

Debossing is the opposite of embossing, where a design is pressed into the surface of a material to create a depressed or indented effect. It follows a similar process to embossing, but instead of creating a raised impression, it creates an embedded impression of the design on the surface of the substrate. Like embossing, debossing can be done with or without adding color to the design. This process is often used for adding texture and visual appeal to various items, including stationery, packaging, and leather goods.

Digital Printing

Digital printing is a method where a digital image is directly printed onto a substrate using digital inkjet or laser printing technology. It’s a versatile imprinting method that can be used for different materials, including paper, fabric, plastic, and metal. If you’re looking for a quick method to produce marketing materials like campaign giveaways for your local barangay elections, then this is definitely something that you should consider.

With this imprinting method, the digital image is first prepared using graphic design software. The substrate is then loaded into a digital printer, which applies ink directly onto the surface of the substrate based on the digital image file. Digital printing does not require the use of plates or screens, which is normally used in traditional printing methods. Thus, it’s suitable for short print runs and designs with multiple colors or variations.
