Specialist Subcontract Printing
We provide specialist subcontract printing services for manufacturers, product designers, and OEMs who require accurate, repeatable marking on plastic moulded components.
Our core expertise is printing on plastic mouldings with complex geometry, textured surfaces, and applied coatings — applications where conventional printing methods struggle to achieve consistent results.
Using pad printing and hot foil printing processes, we support both short-run projects and ongoing production, delivering controlled registration, durable finishes, and reliable repeatability from batch to batch.
In addition to plastics, we also offer selective capability across non-plastic substrates where the application, surface characteristics, and performance requirements are suitable.
Our Printing Services
Two specialist printing processes, selected and controlled to deliver consistent, repeatable results on plastic moulded components — from initial prototypes through to production volumes.
Hot Foil Printing
Durable foil finishes applied under heat and pressure, producing clean, high-definition markings on flat or raised areas where appearance and longevity are key.
View hot foil printing →Tooling & Production Support
Artwork development and colour separations, in-house steel printing plate (cliché) manufacturing, and jig or fixture solutions to ensure accurate positioning and repeatable results across production.
How we support production →Materials We Print On
Our core specialism is printing on plastic moulded components. Each material and surface finish is assessed to ensure suitable ink or foil selection, reliable adhesion, and performance in use.
Plastics (core capability)
We regularly print on injection-moulded and formed plastic components across a wide range of material types. Suitability depends on grade, surface condition, geometry, and end-use environment.
- ABS and SAN
- Polycarbonate (PC)
- Acrylic (PMMA)
- Polyamide / Nylon (PA)
- Acetal (POM)
- Polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE)
- Engineered and filled plastics (case-by-case)
Low-surface-energy plastics and textured finishes may require testing or surface preparation.
Surface finishes & coatings
Finish quality and surface treatment often have more impact on print performance than the base material itself.
- Painted and lacquered plastics
- Textured, matte, and gloss finishes
- Hard coatings and protective layers
- Soft-touch and rubberised coatings (case-by-case)
- Chrome-plated and decorative finishes
Additional substrates
Alongside plastics, we also support selected non-plastic substrates where surface condition, flatness, and durability requirements are appropriate for pad printing or hot foil printing.
- Metals (treated, coated, or anodised)
- Glass and ceramic components
- Wood and wood-based materials
- Specialist packaging and coated boards
