Direct to Object Printing (DTO)

Direct to Object printing serves what is emerging as a lucrative promotional market. From bottle caps, cups, glasses and bottles to golf balls and football helmets to cellphone cases – create fun, memorable and personal experiences by printing directly onto objects of various sizes and surfaces.

This technology eliminates the need for label substrates, promising to be the next generation variable data printing solution for innovative bottle designs and consumer engagement.

The printing process offers unlimited graphic design capabilities to promote the brand and share product improvements or seasonal messages. Direct to Object Printing is the only technology in the market today offering printing on the shoulder of any plastic container.

Direct to Object Printing adds superior value to customers worldwide by improving speed to market and enabling multiple promotions. Product decoration using inkjet technology isn’t new – systems have in fact been on the market for many years. But recent developments have made decorating three-dimensional objects (not to be confused with 3D inkjet or additive manufacturing) one of the most talked-about segments in the industry.
