Have you taken a really good look at vinyl banners lately? If you haven’t, you might be in for a major surprise and vinyl banners are the unsung hero of affordable advertising. There are four key advantages to using vinyl banners for advertising….. 1. Long lasting The first factor is just how durable vinyl banners are. They are very strong and incredibly lightweight as well. Since they are so light, you have a plethora of indoor mounting options for them. One of the primary benefits of advancements in banner printing is that they are now durable for up to 3 years outdoors. This means that the image should not show any significant fading during that time. 2. Flexible You might have seen banners affixed to the side of a fence, but did you know that banners work great indoors as well? I am not just talking about a retractable banner you might have seen at a trade show, but ones that can hang from the ceiling of your business as well. Also, banners used indoor can be much smaller, and cheaper, than their outdoor counterparts due to the fact that the indoor banners are viewed from much closer. However, they are still far enough away from the viewer that they don’t need high resolution printing to look good. 3. Economical Vinyl banners are probably the most cost effective form of advertising you can employ these days. Not only have advances in technology made the banner printing process more cost effective, but the ability of the customer to design their banner online has eliminated costly design fees as well 4. Use Many Times Taking down your piece of advertising that you bought and throwing it away is not very environmentally friendly and certainly not very economical. When you use banners, you don’t have to. Simply roll up the banner and store it for next year. It will be as good as new and ready to be used for many years to come. For example, there is no need to get rid of that “Back to School Sale” banner when school starts. Just roll it up and use it again next summer. Talk about getting the most bang for your buck Summary Vinyl banners are a very affordable and versatile choice for your indoor advertising needs About The Author: Michael Pingree has been in the sign industry since 1993..

Sunday, December 20th, 2009| Scentsy | Flameless Candles | Wickless Candles |
A lanyard is simply a device that allows you to secure something to your person so that you have easy access to it such as an identity card or event name tag. Commonly, a lanyard can be worn around the neck, but can also be worn on the arm, waist or wrist. Usually, lanyards are made out of a cord; cotton, nylon, or polyester twill. Several other lanyards are created from fleece, PVC, satin, denim or even leather. There are a few options to attach your item to the lanyard. Alligator or bulldog clips, swivel hooks (metal or plastic), split rings or spring hooks, are a few of the ways. There are so many people that use a lanyard nowadays. Lanyards have become very popular these days. It’s possible as you walk down the street to often be able to say ‘hi’ to so many people if you want and call them by their first name because they are wearing their work identity cards around their necks with their names clearly showing. They become welded almost to their body! Frequently used with lanyards are plastic badge holders, to protect the badge from wear and tear. Most companies that sell lanyards will also sell you all the accessories too like badge holders and other attachment items. Another thing you might want to buy for your lanyard is a retractable badge reel, for your security passes. This chord allows the user to scan their card without having to take off the lanyard. The cards can be retracted close to their pocket so it won’t swing around the neck. It is most useful in work environments where there are moving machines. Entanglement with the moving machinery will be prevented, and so are the accidents that could arise from them. You can get lanyards with built in plastic safety breakaways should this be needed. Of course, lanyards are also great for advertising purposes. By having it custom printed with a company slogan, name, or logo it will double as an advertising tag and name tag. Flat lanyards can be printed on. Those made out of polyester twill, nylon, or cotton are usually flat and their surface are ideal for printing designs and logos. There are three different printing techniques that can be used, namely screen-printing, dye sublimation,and hot stamping. The cheapest of the three is hot stamping, because it uses only one color. This method is best for badges used at trade shows or by students. Screen-printing produces a higher quality & longer lasting image with colored ink, should you need a more durable and better quality finish. Dye sublimation is the most expensive technique, which makes sense seeing it produces the most detailed and longest lasting image. Learn how Lanyard can raise your marketing now.

A Pen As A Corporate Gift
Friday, December 11th, 2009| Scentsy | Flameless Candles | Wickless Candles |
Pens are small, fairly inexpensive but in respect to using them for gifts they don’t get thrown away till they have been fully used, giving them a life of 1 or 2 months depending on usage. Because of this versatility they are a perfect gift. Nowadays, black ballpoint pens are the most common ink color; many pen producers would attest to that. For advertising exposure purposes, the black ballpoint pen has the best dollar for dollar advertising and market exposure value. They keep you front of mind with your clients every day when you add your branding or unique company features the pen. Amongst sales people and office workers, black ballpoint pens are the most preferred. Blue is next in line in popularity. If you are a party-hire company or childrens wear business you may consider some more interesting colors such as pink or orange but you may lose out a little on usability. After all you are giving a very practical gift so it may be better to stick with blue of black ink. When it comes to the exterior body of a pen imagination is the only limit. And as long as the pen is still usable practically as a pen, then you would still achieve your exposure goals. On the pen’s body, you should first focus on company information you want to add, before considering the design of the body next. If you do not do this, you may end up with a wonderful physical design that has no space for the information you want to add. This would defeat your advertising purpose completely. Quality looking pens will be preferred by more people than cheap looking ones, so do not go too cheap when it comes to the body of the pen. Don’t use cheap pen interiors either. We all have had the experience of trying to write with a pen that does not work and throwing it away in frustration. If a person gets this experience from your pens, they can associate the bad experience easily with your company. They will end with a bad impression of your company. Good suppliers of corporate gifts should allow you to buy pens in numbers you need, in addition to the design concept of the pen body & its quality aspects we discussed.

Screen Printing
Thursday, October 15th, 2009| Scentsy | Flameless Candles | Wickless Candles |
by Stephen Sung
Screen printing is a technique in which the ink is directly applied to the surface that is to be printed and this surface is called substrate. The image that is to be printed is transferred photographically to the screen in such a way that the areas not be printed is blocked and the fabric is used as a stencil. A roller moves across the screen stencil, pumping ink over the threads of the woven net in the open areas. Silk screening or serigraphy also involves screen printing. In this, the stencil method of the print making imposes a design on the screen of silk or any other fine mesh and the empty areas are covered with an impermeable substance while the ink is put on the printing surface through the mesh. The silk printing was the traditional method but now it has been replaced with the polyester for screen painting. Screen painting is the technique developed by the Chinese almost 2000 years back and the screen was made of human hair stretched across a wooden frame. The Japanese developed it further by using the woven silk as mesh and lacquers as stencils. Europe adopted this technique much later as it involved silk which was not available in the Europe. The rotary machine was patented by Michael Vasilantone in 1960 in the United States to print logos and team information on the bowling garments. It was licensed by different manufacturers to produce screen- prints on the garments like t-shirts, and hats. The screen printing on the garments has become so popular that it accounts for almost half of the screen printing activity going on in the country. The screen printing business flourished and became a profitable industry. It was adopted by the artists to express and they used it to duplicate their works and they have been using it before 1900s. Currently, it is popular both in the commercial printing and fine arts industry. It is commonly used print images on the T-shirts, CDs, DVDs, hats, glass, ceramics, polyethylene, paper, polypropylene, wood and metals. Currently, graphic screen printing is used in creation of mass or large batch production graphics such as posters or display stands. The screen printing is more suitable for printing on non-porous surfaces like ceramics and metals, curved surfaces like bottles and cups and also for short print runs. The Corporate have well utilized this option and have started giving their employees and clients corporate gifts that are screen printed with different ideas and also corporate logos.

by Anita Sung
Screen printing is one of the initial methods used in printing process. In this process, the ink or any other printing medium is passed through a screen or ‘mesh’ that has been fixed on a frame, and a stencil has been applied to it. The image that needs to be imprinted is determined from the stencil openings. For the different colors, different screens are prepared and the process is repeated. Silk screening or serigraphy also involves screen printing. In this, the stencil method of the print making imposes a design on the screen of silk or any other fine mesh and the empty areas are covered with an impermeable substance while the ink is put on the printing surface through the mesh. The silk printing was the traditional method but now it has been replaced with the polyester for screen painting. During the reign of Song dynasty in China, the screen printing appeared in the recognizable form. Japan and other Asian countries started using this printing method and advanced it further by using this in conjunction with paints and block printing. Asia introduced screen painting to the Western Europe in the late 1700s but screen painting was not used widely in the Europe due to unavailability of silk mesh here and it started gaining wider acceptance when silk mesh on trade with Asia became easily available and also, other mediums that could be used were developed. The rotary machine was patented by Michael Vasilantone in 1960 in the United States to print logos and team information on the bowling garments. It was licensed by different manufacturers to produce screen- prints on the garments like t-shirts, and hats. The screen printing on the garments has become so popular that it accounts for almost half of the screen printing activity going on in the country. The printing on the canvas with the help of the screen-printing also became popular with the artists.

The commercial as well as the fine arts industry is using this screen printing industry to increase their profits and they use it to make prints on the CD and DVD covers, t-shirts, hats and also on the metals and many more things. The first industrial screen printing process was patented in 1907 and many years later, John Pilsworth of San Francisco introduced the multi-color printing using the same screen. In this, the different screen areas were blocked for different color inks and a multi-colored image was produced. This technique is popular in printing signs and posters.
