  • 0.6mm Magnet: Off a roll 615mm wide and 30m long we can cut to size to suit the job. Ideal for car door magnets.
  • 0.9mm Magnets: Want a stronger and heavier product than the above? Use 0.9mm
  • Matt Finish: We created pricing boards for Phillip Morris in response to legislation that requires the industry to use non-gloss materials for advertising. Great for internal Magnets as it doesn’t reflect as much as the high gloss.

Advantages of Screen Printing

There are many pros to using Screen Printing however, the main advantage is in producing unique visual result in large volume.

HIGH VOLUME = LOW COST
Large runs of identical graphics are less expensively when screen printed rather than the digital processes. The larger the run the more then set up costs are amortised over a larger number of units. Without expensive machinery, costs are kept low.

QUALITY HIGH DOESN’T = HIGH COST
Under certain circumstances (Spot Colour Printing), the quality of screen printing is higher than digital (non images) as the Inks used are UV resistant and far more vibrant. Small text and fine-line illustrations are good examples of screen printing’s strong points. Photographs, however, are usually better with a digital print.

APPEARANCE
Screen printing has its own unique look. While digital provides a smooth, consistent look of perfection, screen printing has a “real life” look and feel to it. The natural textures of paint on substrate combined with the rich, pure tones of screen ink make for a unique appearance in the digital era. Depth of colour is far stronger and more vivid.

DURABILITY
Sometimes “tough” is what is needed, and screen printing can fill the bill. Screen printing inks are relatively inexpensive and, unlike digital printing inks, changing ink types is not an issue. There are many types of specialty inks including Viospeed – A UV resistant ink for vinyl, Polycure – A UV ink for hard substrates, Corobond White – a traditional ink that will stick to just about anything and a raft of others designed for different applications. Because the inks are formulated to work specifically with individual substrates, they can adhere much more permanently than digital inks to many tricky uncoated surfaces. This results in a longer lasting product with up to 10+ years achieved for outdoor ink.
