DSP provides pad printing support for suitable custom items, components and specialist business applications. The physical item, available print area, artwork, quantity and intended use can be assessed together so the production method is matched to the actual finished requirement.
Pad printing can be considered for suitable custom items and components where branding, text or identification needs to be added within a defined print area. The actual item and finished requirement should be assessed before production is confirmed.
Logos and other brand elements can be assessed for suitable custom items where the printed branding forms part of the finished physical product or business requirement.
Pad printing can be considered where suitable components require a logo, name, reference or other clear identification within a defined print area.
Text, symbols, numbering or simple graphic information can be assessed for suitable items where the printed detail forms part of the practical finished requirement.
Suitable promotional items can be assessed for pad printing where a logo, campaign message or simple branded element needs to be applied as part of the finished piece.
Where the same approved artwork needs to be reproduced across a quantity of suitable items or components, pad printing can be assessed as part of the production requirement.
If the item or application does not fit a standard category, send DSP a photograph or sample description together with the dimensions, print position, quantity and artwork for assessment.
Pad printing requirements should be assessed around the actual item or component. A clear photograph or sample, dimensions, print position, artwork and quantity give DSP the information needed to evaluate the job before production is confirmed.
Explain what needs to be printed and provide a clear photograph, sample or accurate description where practical. The physical item itself is an important part of assessing the production requirement.
Provide the approximate size of the item or component so DSP can understand the physical scale of the job and assess the proposed print area in context.
Show where the logo, wording, symbol or identification needs to appear. A marked-up photograph with the approximate print position and dimensions can make the requirement much clearer.
Send the best available logo, graphic, wording, numbering or existing artwork. DSP's in-house design team can help adapt the layout around the confirmed print area where artwork preparation is required.
Confirm how many items need to be printed and whether the same artwork is repeated throughout the job or whether different versions are required.
Explain how the printed item will be used and whether the requirement is for branding, identification, promotional use or another specialist production application.
Not sure whether the shape or print position will work? Send DSP photographs of the actual item from a few useful angles, together with the approximate dimensions, required print position, quantity and artwork. The application can then be assessed before the production method is confirmed.
