Services

Everything between the brief and the burn.

Six services, all built around the same deliverable: files a factory can run without a phone call.

  • Screen printing artwork

    Colour separations by station, ink specification against Pantone or your ink house, trapping and choke values matched to mesh count, and print-order sheets for the carousel operator.

    • Station-by-station separations
    • Curvature-corrected layouts
    • Setup sheets for operators
  • UV printing files

    Full-colour artwork with dedicated white underbase and spot varnish channels, profiled for flatbed and cylindrical UV lines, including gradient handling that will not band on a curved casing.

    • White underbase channels
    • Spot varnish layers
    • Curved-surface gradient control
  • Water transfer patterns

    Seamless repeat film artwork with pre-distortion so the motif reads correctly after the dip, plus alignment marks and shoulder compensation for consistent wraps across a batch.

    • Seamless repeats
    • Dip distortion compensation
    • Batch alignment marks
  • Laser engraving files

    Vector paths for line work and calibrated greyscale rasters for depth, tuned to brushed, anodised, chrome and coated surfaces, with minimum stroke widths that will not burn out.

    • Vector and raster sets
    • Surface-specific depth maps
    • Safe minimum stroke widths
  • Packaging & display

    Blister cards, sleeves, gift boxes and counter display units drawn to your dieline, with barcode zones, importer blocks and multilingual copy blocks positioned for retail shelves.

    • Dieline-accurate layouts
    • Barcode and importer zones
    • Counter display artwork
  • Collection & brand design

    Coherent SKU families for a season or a market: motif systems, colourways, naming and a small brand kit so future runs stay recognisably yours.

    • Motif systems across SKUs
    • Market-tuned colourways
    • Lightweight brand kit

Process

Four stages, no surprises.

  1. 01

    Brief & sample

    You send the casing, tooling notes and target market. We map the true printable area.

  2. 02

    Direction

    Two or three motif routes at 1:1 scale on your actual model, with method and ink count named.

  3. 03

    Production art

    Separations, channels or engraving files built to the chosen method, with compliance layers locked.

  4. 04

    Press support

    We stay reachable through first sampling and adjust files if the line reports drift.
