Is Rotary screen printing suitable for every product?

No. The product material, shape and print area decide whether rotary screen printing is suitable. Greatrex can check this before quoting.

What artwork file should I send?

A vector logo file is best where available. PDF, EPS, AI or SVG files usually give the cleanest result, but Greatrex can review what you have.

Can Greatrex help choose between print methods?

Yes. Send the product, quantity, logo and deadline, and Greatrex can recommend the branding method that best fits the product and budget.
