Graphic design for lighter manufacturing

Artwork that survives
the production line.

VaporSpark is a specialist studio for lighter factories, OEMs and export brands. We turn a rough brief into separated, tolerance-aware, print-ready files your line can run on the first pass.

What we do

Four decoration methods, one file discipline.

Every method punishes a different mistake — a screen print forgives nothing at the hinge, a water transfer stretches at the shoulder, a laser eats fine strokes on chrome. We build to the method, not to a generic mockup.

  • Screen printing artwork

    Station-by-station separations, trapping and ink specs tuned to your mesh count and casing curvature.

  • UV printing files

    Full-colour CMYK plus white and varnish channels, built for flatbed and cylindrical UV lines.

  • Water transfer patterns

    Seamless repeat films with distortion compensation so the pattern lands true after the dip.

  • Laser engraving files

    Vector paths and greyscale rasters graded for depth on brushed, anodised and chrome bodies.

A lighter is held, flicked and pocketed a thousand times. The graphic has to be right at arm's length and at eye level.

The studio

We speak factory, not agency.

Our designers have spent years next to screen carousels, pad printers and hydrographic tanks. That means separations that match your mesh, tolerances that match your jigs, and warning text that clears inspection in the destination market.
