Our products are decorated in the following methods, but mostly only in the 4 color CMYK Process method.

• 4 color CMYK process: CMYK (short for cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black), and often referred to as process color or four color) is a subtractive color model, used in color printing, also used to describe the printing process itself. Though it varies by print house, press operator, press manufacturer and press run, ink is typically applied in the order of the acronym.
  The CMYK model works by partially or entirely masking certain colors on the typically white background (that is, absorbing particular wavelengths of light). Such a model is called subtractive because inks “subtract” brightness from white.

• Pad Print (for Answer Items only): Pad Printing is sometimes also called "Tampo", "Tampo Printing", and/or "Transfer Pad Printing" Pad printing which is similar to lithography in that an image is transferred from one surface to another is comprised of of three major components: pad, ink and cliché. The cliché is made of a hard polymer or steel material and is configured with the desired design etched less than 1/1000th of an inch (25 micrometres) deep into it to act as a "reservoir" for the ink. The pad, typically made from a silicon rubber, first presses against the surface of the cliché. The pad picks up the design and transfers it by pressing against the object.
  Physical changes within the ink film both on the cliché and on the pad allow it leave the etched image area in favor of adhering to the pad, and to subsequently release from the pad in favor of adhering to the substrate (material being printed).
  The unique properties of the silicone pad enable it to pick the image up from a flat plane and transfer it to a variety of surface (i.e. flat, cylindrical, spherical, compound angles, textures, concave surfaces, convex surfaces)
