Every product has predetermined imprint area dimensions, based on what will make logos appear their best and the limitations of the process used. Printing machines are set to standard sizes, and it isn’t possible to change the imprint dimensions. Be sure to pay careful attention to these dimensions when selecting how much information you’d like to include in a product. If they’re on the small side, keep information to a minimum or the finished product could be very difficult to read. Just like predetermined sizes, most products come with a designated location for the imprint area. While these locations are intended to make imprints look their best, in some cases multiple imprint areas are available. Can I exceed the imprint area allowed? The appearance of an imprint depends on the texture of the promotional product on which it’s printed. An intricate logo will probably appear most clearly on a hard surface such as a notebook. Alternately, a softer surface, such as a tote, may cause some details to be lost. Another reason imprints vary is due to the imprinting method that’s used. Each product uses a specific imprint method, such as screen printing, pad printing or full color imprints. Each yields a slightly different finished look. Why does a logo look different products?
