PRINTING ON TO METAL
A requirement to print onto metal has grown but the expertise in the UK has dwindled, making us one of the few companies in the UK today who can provide that technical expertise.
Not all metal substrates are the same and so it is important for us to understand our customers’ metal printing requirements. In particular how the product will be used and in what type of environment it will be placed, so we utilise the right inks and the right printing techniques.
The metal substrates sent to us for printing are at times not raw metal; they feature coatings and treatments that affect how the metal will react with certain inks, therefore we understand and can support our customer in understanding how well inks printed on the metal will resist scratching and fading.
Taking pride in our quality, service and ability to overcome those difficult to print items we offer:
- Printing onto sheet metal
- Printing onto metal enclosures
- Printing onto metal chassis
- Multi colour printing with accurate colour matching
- Working to tight tolerances
We currently have diverse customer base throughout the UK in such fields as:
- Military
- Aviation
- Automotive
- Communications
- Medical
- Audio
