Automatic Thermally Applied Graphics

Automatic thermally applied graphics are applied with a heated rubber die, with the combination of heat and pressure a graphic design is permanently printed onto such items as plastic jars, ceramic cups, golf clubs, etc. This method is an alternative to silk-screening and hot stamping as it reduces the chance of registration error.

When applying thermal graphics, only one pass is needed to adhere the graphic to the item. This is a cost effective technique when compared to silk-screening and hot stamping printing techniques. Other advantages with this process is that the graphics can be added to packages, contain up to 14 colors or four-color process. In addition several finishes such as matte, shiny, semitransparent, and opaque are available.

The use of thermally applied graphics allows manufactures to decorate various products of various surface textures and materials. This process also has the ability to use multiple colors and reproduce complex design with accuracy, consistency and sharp detail.
