Screen printing technique: Durable and versatile prints

Screen printing consists of applying the ink directly with a screen on the piece to be printed through a process of emulsion and engraving. In contrast, vinyl is a plastic adhesive that is attached to the part to be printed by means of a heat-emitting plate. In screen printing is recommended if you have in mind to print from 50/60 units as the screen can be reused instead vinyl is recommended for productions below 50 units or larger sizes as the price will be more economical. Different screen sizes in silkscreen printing:

• Logos 25 cm height up to 30 cm long
• Logos 25 cm height up to 55 cm long
• Logos 25 cm high up to 80 cm long

Vinyl technique: Precise and resistant designs on self-adhesive labelstocks

On the other hand, vinyl is a self-adhesive plastic material used to create designs or graphics that can be applied to different surfaces, such as walls, vehicles, windows and clothing. Vinyl printing is done by a computer-controlled cutting process, which allows for precise and detailed shapes. Vinyl is known for its durability and weather resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. As for the vinyl the measures are adjustable to your logo, therefore you can consult them. We recommend our wide range of parasols in the forte line for these prints.
