SCREEN PRINTING 360
With Screen printing 360 the same technique as flat screen printing is followed but the print is applied to a cylindrical item where the item is slightly rotated that results in a round screen print.
​
The Cylindrical item spins and the logo is applied as the product spins.
Screen printing is a printing technique whereby a mesh with a lot of small openings is used to transfer ink onto the item.
A stencil will block certain parts to the shape of the logo. The ink is placed on the mesh and then pushed through the mesh onto the product.
One colour is printed at a time, so several screens must be used to produce a multi- coloured image or logo. After printing the item is placed in a drying tunnel to cure the ink to the item.
