PENS

Tampo/pad Print
MoreTampo/Pad Print
Tampo/Pad print is particularly suitable for printing on variously shaped or 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
- - Multicolour prints possible
Technology:
Tampo/Pad 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.

Digital clip / cap print
MoreDigital Clip Print / Digital Cap Print

Strengths:
- - Print to the edge of the clip possible

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

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.

Metal Print
MoreMetal Print
The surfaces of our metal pens are refined by varnishes, 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:

- - 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.
