Pad Print transfers ink onto curved or uneven surfaces like drink bottles and pens using a silicone pad. It's affordable and produces sharp logos in up to 6 colors (including metallic gold/silver), but works best with simple designs rather than gradients or photos.

Screen Print pushes ink through a mesh stencil onto flat surfaces like tote bags, allowing large print areas and up to 5 colors including metallics and fluorescents. It's best for bold, simple designs rather than gradients, with each color adding to the setup cost.

Direct Digital prints full-color designs directly onto flat or slightly curved products using inkjet technology, with a white ink base that allows printing on dark surfaces. It supports large print areas and personalization, but can't produce metallic or neon colors.

Debossing (or "blind debossing") presses a heated metal plate into the product to create a subtle, permanent indented impression without color. It offers a premium, tactile finish that can show two-tone contrast on some materials, but the effect can be hard to see on textured surfaces and doesn't support personalization.

Digital Print produces full-color designs with gradients and complex images on items like badges, labels, and fridge magnets. It's cost-effective for colorful artwork but can't do metallic/neon colors or print on dark or specialty materials.

Foil Printing applies metallic foil (gold, silver, or copper) to flat surfaces like notebooks using heat, creating a premium, eye-catching finish. It supports personalization and works on soft or hard covers, but is limited to simple, bold designs as fine details can be lost on textured materials.
