Pre Treatment / Surface Contaminates
To achieve proper ink adhesion, the printing or decorating surface must be free of all surface contaminates. Common surface contaminates are dust, mold release, and hand oils from parts being handled without gloves. When these surface-contaminates are present, we can remove them using a variety of chemicals such as mineral spirits, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, and denatured alcohol depending surface or material of the part.

Our highly trained staff will work with you to find the best, most cost-effective printing or decorating solution for your unique project.
For pretreating polypropylene and polyethylene parts, we have the option of plasma treating. Plasma is a gas that has the capacity to conduct electricity.
Flame treating lowers the surface tension of the plastic to allow for proper ink adhesion. We have custom-built flame treating equipment for both flat parts such as polypropylene caps for CBD products and cylindrical polyethylene bottles for the health and beauty industry.
For both plastic and metal parts, post-treatment is sometimes required to achieve maximum ink adhesion. And for glass parts, post-treatment is almost always required for maximum ink adhesion.
