Printing on to curved surface

[Kevin.Beck]

you can print onto mugs or beer barrels, buckets. etc, they are curved.

depends upon what equipment you`ve got…

Thanks Becky

I’ve got 200 plastic discs about 20mm thick
and I need to print two colours on to the edge

Are there any supplies that can do this?

Many Thanks

Patrick

Dependant on what has to be “printed”

1) You could apply solid polymeric vinyl to the edge
2) You could mask the disc and spray it
3) You could get it pad printed in quadrants or smaller sections
4) You could use a laser engraver with a rotary attachment and engrave and colour fill
5) You can get someone with a rotary printer to do it
6) you could digitally print and lam on clear and apply
Most likely option 6 would work well.

for this project

Patrick , rotary printing is likely to be pretty pricey as flexographic rubber plates will most likely have to be made and the ink will have to be suitable for the substrate , I must say , if it were me , I would probably walk away from this job.
I forsee doo-doo 🙂
