Samson Notebook

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.

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.
