Print techniques
The material you print has to stand in for person-person communication. Denied the sense of sound, movement and smell, the printed word can compensate with tactile materials that people will feel as well as read.
Sending the right message, whether it’s in your professional or private life, is as much about feelings as it is about content.
And that’s exactly the ethos we adopt at Baddeley Brothers. The print techniques we use depend heavily on the message being sent. Whether it’s the process of applying ink or the paper texture we choose, every decision we make is aimed at helping you send exactly the right message.
What are the print techniques?
Take die-stamping, for instance. The precision printing technique is used to create coats of arms, multi-coloured crests, complex letterheads, and any product with a finely detailed design. Thermography is a cost-effective alternative to copperplate printing, while letterpress creates a traditional, authentic feel for business cards, labels or invitations. We utilise the perfect print processes for the occasion in question – ensuring the message reflects the nature of the occasion.
At Baddeley Brothers, we know just how profound the written word can be. You can’t hear or smell a written message, and there’s no way of interacting with it. This is why giving text a tactile, living quality is so important to us. How each message is presented plays a large part in how it is received. Whether you have a gilt-edged party invitation or a blind embossed letter in your hand, you’re getting a tactile experience that isn’t possible with just ink and paper.
Printing in three dimensions
We print in three dimensions, rather than the traditional two. Whether it’s foil-blocking, thermography, letterpress, embossing or die-stamping, the printing technique you choose makes the giving and receiving of a message a truly tangible experience.
And to really make your correspondence come to life, we use innovative papers, fine lithography and letterpress printing – giving your stationary its own personality.
The complex nature of our printed products makes counterfeiting difficult. Our specialist printing techniques, which include embossing and engraving, with specialist dies, are difficult to replicate. By choosing Baddeley Brothers for your stationery, you can minimise the chances of your bespoke products being copied. We are constantly developing and refining all of our printing techniques to ensure our clients have the best quality stationery products before anyone else.
