Why are plastics printed on?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When we think about printing on a product, the first thing that comes to mind is promotional printing. This involves applying the desired logo, company name, or a clear message to the plastic item. The result is unique branded products, original promotional items, or personalized corporate gifts. <\/p>\n

But object printing can do much more. Printing can be used to apply useful scales, user-friendly controls, technical specifications, traceable serial numbers, or explanatory icons to both large and very small surfaces. Even a desired electroplated look can be achieved using a hot foil stamping process. <\/p>\n

Prints must be extremely durable and scratch-resistant. They must withstand harsh cleaning agents, extreme temperature fluctuations, and rain that can cause them to soften. In short: they must last forever. And how is that possible? The answer lies in choosing the right printing process. <\/p>\n

Can any type of plastic be printed on?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Plastics such as polyethylene, polycarbonate, polypropylene, glass-fiber-reinforced polymer materials<\/a>, bioplastics<\/a>, etc., can vary greatly. Among other things, they have different surface characteristics\u2014smooth, rough, or even porous. Nevertheless, all plastics can be printed on, even if some require pretreatment. This is where Silac AG\u2019s extensive expertise in plastics comes into play. Thanks to our many years of experience, we know which printing process is best suited for each specific surface. <\/p>\n
