Multi-Process Brochure + Cards with Custom String Tie Envelope
Artfully crafted for marketing agency, ModOp, the brochures, cards and envelopes in this promotional kit would function just as well as a fine commercial printer’s promotional piece. Each printed piece incorporates any number of varied printing processes.
Luxury Cosmetics Packaging for HAOMA
We constructed this luxury cosmetics packaging using 18pt Neenah Folding Board in Deep Black Eggshell and foil stamped the artwork in gold Luxor 420 and gloss white. The resulting tactile experience leaves one with a feeling that something truly important awaits inside.
Luxe Invitation with RFID Tag
Made of 4 layers of synthetic materials all seamlessly unified with crystal clear optics, this acrylic invitation, produced for the exclusive NFL Commissioner’s Party, was embedded with a Smartrac CIRCUS™ RFID tag in order to provide the lucky guests with personalized service as they arrived.
Barrier-Grid Animation Invitations
Also known as a kinegram or picket-fence animation, a barrier-grid animation involves a die cut outer sleeve with a printed insert that contains two separate interlaced images. As the insert slides in and out of the sleeve, the alternating images are displayed within the die cuts of the sleeve, thus producing a simple 2-frame animation.
Engraved Identity Suite for Marchioness
The sophisticated design of this engraved identity suite required personal attention at every step of the process. We employed a delicate balance of engraving, letterpress and screen printing, drawing on each processes’ individual strengths to craft these lavish and tactile pieces.
Custom Hang Tags
At DataGraphic, we make custom hang tags of any size, shape and quantity and in any material. We produce tags using sourced or provided looped and knotted string, satin and grosgrain ribbon, eyelets, and gourd clips for use in retail, promotions, gift giving and other occasions.
Engraving
Engraving is a pressure process that transfers ink directly from an engraving plate onto the paper. Automatic engraving presses can run at speeds between 4,000-5,000 impressions/hour.
Die Cutting
Creating a die cut shape or window involves cutting a substrate – usually one sheet at a time – with a die. This process can cut an entire sheet into a shape, put slits in a folder, or cut a window into a page.
Embossing and Debossing
Embossing (or debossing) uses heat and pressure to raise (or lower) paper fibers above (or below) the surface of the substrate. Artwork is transferred onto a metal die, by routering, photo-etching or hand-tooling.
Digital Printing
Digital printing allows your designs to be printed directly onto a variety of substrates. Modern digital presses use electroink digital ink technology.
Screen Printing
Screen printing or serigraphy is essentially a stencil process whereas the image is imposed onto a specialized mesh (screen) which allows the ink to be transferred onto the printing surface. Inks or coatings are pushed through the apertures in the mesh by way of a squeegee under pressure.
Offset Lithography
Offset lithography is the most common printing method. The inked image is transferred from the printing plate to a rubber blanket and then onto the paper. All litho presses basically work the same way, whether they are sheet-fed or web, which uses a huge roll, called a web, of paper.
Thermography
Thermography is, as its name suggests, hot printing. It creates raised imagery – and interesting textures – by fusing tiny granules of thermo powder with wet offset inks. The thermography unit is attached to a standard offset press.
Edging
To achieve an edging effect, colored pigment or foil is applied to the edges of a short pile of stock after the pieces have been printed.
Foil Stamping
Foil stamping uses pressure and high heat to release a thin film onto the substrate. The image to be stamped is etched in relief on the plate (so it is raised, rather than recessed).
