Screen
Printing
Screen Printing is a non-expensive way of professionally,
personalising your product. Company logos, technical descriptions,
connector markings etc can easily be incorporated into
the design of your product.
As we are able to print on the enclosure surface prior
to the bending process we can achieve what is known as
‘multiple surface printing’. This means that
for the cost of only 1 print we are able to print on up
to 5 different surfaces at no extra cost. It also means
that you incur only one artwork cost. This is impossible
to do with an ‘off the shelf’ injection moulded
case.
The ink used is a specially imported solvent-based product,
which is specifically designed for adhering to thermoplastic
substrates. Its colour matching system includes the basic
shades System 21, the range of highly fade resistant shades
(according to DIN 16525), HKS and Pantone.
There are several options available to the customer regarding
the artwork for screen printing.

his/her own artwork and supplies RTP with the film ready
for printing.

3. The customer supplies

to an acceptable programme.
