Screen print

Whenever it comes to branding our ball pen barrels or flat clips for us at senator® screen print is the branding method of our choice. 
The colours used allow a nearly exact reproduction of your corporate colours. 

Strengths:

• Particularly sharp-edged prints
• Large areas printable
• Very precise register accuracy for multi-colour prints

Technology:

Screenprint is a direct print process whereby ink is pressed through a mesh onto the ball pen. This process allows a very even ink application.

Tampo print

Tampo print is particularly suitable for printing on variously shaped or surface structured objects. We therefore use this printing method for branding our ball pen clips. 

Strengths:

• Best suited to print on curved objects
• Also for printing on small parts
• Multi colour  prints possible

Technology:

Tampo print is an indirect print method whereby ink is transferred  from the cliché via an elastic pad onto the surface to be printed. The result is a very even print on curved objects. 

Barrel print 360°

When it comes to printing all around our cylindrical barrels to use a very large area the Barrel Print 360° is first choice.

Strengths:

• Eye-catching results
• Large print area
• High register accuracy

Technology:

Senator® 360° barrel print is a special screen printing process whereby the barrel of a ball pen is printed before assembly. This way we can print all around the barrel and even underneath the clip.

Barrel print 360° Plus

360° Barrel Print Plus is the evolution of our 360° Barrel Print. Here we add an additional lacquer layer onto the print for a shiny and palpable effect.

Strengths:

• Palpable 3D surface
• Accentuation of selected elements
• Large printing area
• Solid tone prints possible

Technology:

The lacquer layer substitutes one colour of the 360° Barrel Print and can be combined with prints of up to 4 colours.

Metal Print

The surfaces of our metal pens are refined by varnishs, lacquers or other surface coatings. In order to achieve a good bonding of the ink and wear resistance on these surfaces we use our special Metal Print method.

Strengths:

• Lasts on varnished surfaces
• Brilliant colours

Technology:

Senator® metal print is a screen printing process whereby an extra hardening step is added in order to achieve a long lasting print result. 

Laser engraving

A very elegant branding method on metal surfaces is a laser engraving. Logos or messages are very accurately and permanently worked into the metal surface. 

Strengths:

• A high class and modest result
• Strong with fine lines
• Also suitable for single names

Technology:

For our laser engraving we use a high precision computer-controlled laser to engrave the surface of our writing instruments and thus expose the metal layer underneath.

Direct Print

If you are looking for multi coloured prints at low cost the senator Direct Print is just the right choice. The motive is printed directly onto the mug. This saves time and money. For an impressive look at a low price.

 
Strengths:

• Sensational in price
• Impressively fast
• Striking large print area   

Technology:

With the Direct Print method we apply the ink directly onto the mug. This saves time and money. Many of our mug models are suited for up to 4-colour prints, for some models two or three colours are possible. Direct Print is applicable for many print designs but there are some exceptions.  We will be happy to evaluate your logo prior to printing to make sure this print method is best suited for your project.

Transfer Print

Transfer print is the printing method of our choice when it comes to variety. The options are diverse: Starting from a discreet handle print all the way to a large area half tone  print we realise your ideas on our senator® mugs. 

Strengths:

• Endless variety
• Strong with half tone prints
• Nearly perfect with colour gradients

Technology:

Transfer print is a printing method whereby we first print the design on a label to be applied onto the mug in a second step. During the firing process the colour combines with the mug surface, the label dissolves up to a small edge around the print design. 

Sand Blasting

Sandblasting is a very stylish way to brand a mug. This branding you can feel.

Strengths:

• Striking tactile results
• Perfect for coloured mugs
• Provides depth and structure

Technology:

With the sandblasting method we grind the design direct into the surface giving the logo depth and structure.

Colour 4U

Name your requested colour adn we dye the outside of your mug to your requirements. This is possible for all white porcelain and stoneware mugs in our senator® range except for our tableware sets. 

Strengths:

• Supremely customisable
• Eye-catching results
• Very effective in combination with sandblasting

Technology:

Senator® Colour 4U is a special method whereby the mug is sprayed with the colour of your choice before kiln firing. 

Glossy Impression

With this special branding method we treat the frosted glass surface with a special lacquer. This makes the surface clear transparent again resulting in an eye-catching contrast of transparent and frosted surfaces.

Strengths:

• Eye-catching effect
• Subtle and harmonious
• For small and large are prints
