Decoration for finishing techniques
As colourful as the selection of bags and backpacks at HALFAR® is, as diverse is the range of advertising applications. After all, it's the decoration that makes your bag a communicative promotional item or a personal premium. That's why we are pleased to be able to implement most techniques directly for you here in Bielefeld: This makes you flexible, keeps distances short and quality high. Our promotional bag team will be happy to advise you about our bags.
Which advertising application suits me?
We are happy to offer you all the common textile finishing techniques - and new ones are added regularly. The right one for you depends on your bag, your advertising goals and, of course, your taste:
Screen printing - the classic
Screen printing is the classic printing process. At HALFAR® it is the most frequently used printing process.
- Very versatile for printing on a wide variety of materials and shapes
- The ink is printed onto the material with a rubber squeegee through a fine-mesh screen and then dried in a continuous dryer
- Screen prints are durable and exceptionally long-lasting
Transfer printing - from the carrier to the bag
With transfer printing, we apply your motif or logo to a special carrier material. We then transfer this in turn to the bag under the influence of heat.
- Is often used for finer resolution motifs
- Extremely resistant to UV radiation and other environmental influences
- Special feature: also for bright neon colours, as well as metallic and reflective colours
Embroidery has style - the high-quality finishing
Embroidery has a long tradition. For centuries, this technique has been used for finishing and has stood for richness and extravagance for just as long. Whereas embroidery used to be an artistic craft, today HALFAR® uses highly technical automatic embroidery machines.
- Very durable and noble
- Recommended for felt, cotton, polyester, polyamid - not suitable for waterproof bags
- For motifs, customer logos, lettering or coats of arms
- Embroidery designs are defined in our embroidery machines by a so-called punch programme
Digital printing - for brilliant image motifs
With digital printing - also known as Direct Digital Printing (DDP) - a computer transfers the motif to a printing machine, which then prints it onto a special tarpaulin. This gives us great flexibility to print on almost all visible surfaces of your bag.
- High-quality, individual prints directly on promotional bags
- Especially for photo motifs or motifs with fine colour gradients
- Coated with protective varnish to prevent flaking and fading
- Truck tarpaulin is perfect for digital printing
- Material is printed before sewing, therefore ideal for modular bags such as LorryBag®
Digital print labels - the flexible solution
If you want to realise particularly detailed motifs, this is often only possible before sewing a bag. The digital print label, however, offers flexibility: it can also be applied afterwards.
- Also decorate after sewing
- For fine digital print motifs
- Embroidered onto the bag or sewn onto the strap as a finishing touch
Metal emblem - timeless look
Metal looks extremely stylish, characteristic and leaves lasting impressions.
- Lasered or with doming
- For almost all materials
- Oval, rectangular, matt, glossy - and for HALFAR® Fast Lane and doming also square and round
- Finishing with individual names possible
Doming - with 3D effect
Like a drop, the transparent resin layer lies here on the logo and provides the fascinating 3D effect.
- Made on the basis of an adhesive film
- On loop tags or on metal emblems
- Very high-quality look
- Maximum flexibility
- Sufficiently water and UV resistant for many uses
HALFAR FAST LANE® - extra-fast, extra-individual
Using an energy-saving LED UV printer, we print your logo over the entire surface of a special carrier material. The print is very colour-intensive and the optional spot varnish finish gives it an extremely noble appearance.
- Brilliant, pin-sharp printing in photo quality with low energy consumption
- Fast drying, fast production times
- Surface of the substrate resembles satin-finish, high-quality paper
- Durable, noble and extraordinary
- Partially finishable with spot varnish FRAME and STAGE series, as well as backpack SPACE
- Learn more in our flyer
Woven label - the trademark for your bag
We often sew woven labels into the bag seam. Like a small flag, they represent brands and logos.
- The woven trademark for your bag
- Also for name tags on bags
- In different sizes, colours and qualities
- The ideal addition to two-dimensional refinement
Rubber Badges - the individual plastic badge
In this process, we make a shape out of your logo, which is later moulded into rubber. You can choose the colour of your plastic or rubber badge to match your corporate design or bag. We then sew the finished rubber badges onto your bag.
- Plastic or rubber cast badges with your logo
- Very high quality
- Suitable for all HALFAR® bags and backpacks
- Extremely resistant
