HOT FOIL BLOCKING

This process involves adding a silver or gold metallic text to a surface. Simple designs can be printed directly onto the surface of a bottle or jar. Hot foil blocking is a process that uses metallic blocks with designs or lettering etched on the surface. These then get pressed against the foil to imprint the image. During the hot foil blocking procedure, the product is placed under a layer of the film and the metallic block. The hot foil machine then applies pressure and heat to the metallic block, which activates the film. Your design can be printed to create a metallic or matt finish. Hot foiling can be applied to the following products:

▫Plastic Bottles ▫Plastic Jars ▫Closures

UV PRINTING

Metalisation takes a plastic product/product part and adds a metallic coating to the surface. To start the process, a base lacquer coating is baked on to the components. These parts are then placed inside a vacuum chamber and a charge is passed through tungsten filaments, which contain pure aluminium. This vaporises and coats the rotating product in a shiny chrome like finish. Finally, a protective coating of lacquer is applied. The lacquer can be coloured to provide a range of beautiful metallic finishes. Available in gold or silver and a matt or gloss finish. We can metalise the following:

▫Plastic Bottles ▫Plastic Jars ▫Closures

Silk Screen Printing

This is printing text and pictorial designs directly onto the surface of a bottle / jar for a clean professional look at an affordable price. The printing method uses a screen composed of mesh and silk or man-made fibres that are stretched over a wooden frame. The design is then made into a paper stencil which is stuck onto the mesh. To produce the print, ink is taken across the screen and the pressure of this pushes the ink through the unstopped areas of the mesh. To get a multi-coloured print several screens and passes are used.

EMBOSSING

This is a process which involves achieving a raised or sunken design on a metal surface. It is accomplished with a combination of heat and pressure on the metal. Two rollers (one with the image indented and the other with the same image protruding) are heated. The heated rollers are then applied with pressure to iron out the metal by raising the level of the image higher than the substrate to make it smooth. We can offer embossing on:

▫Disc Caps ▫Pumps
