HI all
I have been asked if I could print on disposable lighters The potential customer is looking for printing on bic lighters which have a rounded surface. Has anyone printed these. The only way I can think of is pad printing but I don't have a pad printer. Any suggestions would be welomed
Thanks

Source the work out if you havent got a pad printer. They are not really that expensive for a manual one but then that is some hard graft if you have to do say 5000 at a sitting!

I did look into Pad Printing a few years ago but found that I couldnt compete with the big boys. Now I out source this work.

Had a pad printer but got rid as like Earl said above - competing with the big boys was pointless.
You can screen print onto them if they have a flat side - I've done many thousands of these (one colour) but the market went up in smoke (lol) after the cig ban came in for pubs.
