Silkscreen Print: Silkscreen print is to use the screen as the substrate, and through the photosensitive plate making method, making silkscreen print with pictures and text. If your texts of products are small or the design is complex, the manufacturer cannot make it by using a model. GS-JJ usually uses silkscreen print to show its effects. It needs to be emphasized that the text and pattern of silkscreen are self-colored. For example, red texts and blue logo. But there isn't a gradient pattern. In addition, because offset print can be used in the plane, silkscreen print will be combined with hard enamel to finish the needed design and achieve the desired effect in general.

Offset Print: If your product needs to dyeing many colors, you can choose offset print. Offset print just makes whole products use offset print. Nevertheless, you can't combine with other crafts. At GS-JJ, there are extra fees needed to be paid.

Transfer Print: The condition of transfer print is almost the same as the silkscreen. Transfer print usually is used in products with a gradient ramp. In addition, when your products have a more complex color, you can also use them. The kind of print is used less in custom medals but is widely used in custom lapel pins.

UV Printing is a fast and special method of digital printing, which uses UV light to dry or cure ink on the metals. Their printing pattern is photo-realistic. Due to their fast production, it is favored by buyers.

Gold is a very shiny and bright color. In layman's terms, it is yellow like wheat. However, brass seems to be rusty with a little green, looking like bronze. It is mixed with white, black, yellow, blue and dye yellow.

Rose pink is kind of pink color. But the color is very light. Nevertheless, copper is a very deep color. It seems to jacinth. Copper looks like burning in the furnace.

These two colors are very similar, especially in antique medals. But if you see carefully, it is easy to distinguish. Antique gold is close to yellow while antique brass is an approach to the green. You can watch them from the side face.

Silver is shinier than black nickel. Black nickel is a deeper silver. You can see the slight difference from edges.
