Rotary Screen Printing is achieved by forcing ink through a fine mesh screen with a squeegee onto the product and is ideal for cylindrical objects.
Advantages
- Large print areas are possible on cylindrical products
- Close PMS matches are possible on white or light-coloured products
- Most screen print inks are quick drying and can be shipped immediately after printing
- Metallic gold and silver ink are available
- Many products can print five colours (including white) with tight multi-colour registration
Limitations
- Close PMS matches are more difficult on darker products and will only be approximate. In some instances, a white base will create a better print
- Unable to print variable data
- Each colour requires its own setup charge
Artwork Requirements
- Artwork must be supplied in editable vector format
- Fonts are advised to be converted to outlines/objects to avoid font conflicts
