Relief Printing (Cost-focused)
Relief printing involves a plate with raised and recessed areas where the ink is transferred from the raised areas directly to the paper. The recessed areas do not receive any ink. This method allows for mass production at a low cost. It is the most common method for label printing. The precision of plates has improved over time, and there are no issues with reproducing four-color prints. The quality is comparable to offset printing, making it the most popular printing method in recent years.

Offset Printing (Quality-focused)
Offset printing is a traditional method that uses the repelling properties of oil and water. The ink on the oil layer is transferred to the substrate via a blanket. The plate does not directly contact the substrate. The key feature of offset printing is its fine dot reproduction, ensuring high-quality prints. If you desire high-level results, we recommend offset printing.

Silk Screen Printing (Durability-focused)
Silk screen printing utilizes a screen mesh through which ink is pressed. The ink is spread evenly using a squeegee, and after removing the screen, the ink remains only on the desired areas. The thick layer of ink makes this method suitable for durable and fade-resistant stickers, especially for outdoor use.
