Pad and Screen Printing for Promotional Products
Promotional product suppliers and distributors need a reliable way to apply durable, high-quality branding to items that don’t work with standard labels. We provide specialized promotional product printing services, acting as a dedicated decorating partner for the ad specialty industry. Our team applies crisp, permanent logos and graphics directly onto a wide range of customer-supplied rigid goods, from molded plastics to glass and metal items.
Our Promotional Product Decorating Services
We offer several decorating services to ensure a high-quality finish on any promotional item. The best method depends on the product’s material, shape, and the desired final look. Our pad printing process is ideal for applying graphics onto contoured or textured items, while our screen printing capabilities produce clean, bold logos on flat or cylindrical products.

Our processes are built to handle the diverse range of hard goods used in the promotional industry. We specialize in decorating rigid, solid-surface products and do not work with soft goods like apparel. Common items we print on include:
- Electronic devices and housings
- Drinkware, including water bottles and travel mugs
- Photo frames and desktop awards
- Tools and multi-tools
- Golf balls and sporting goods
- Pens and office accessories
