Screen printing

Through years of specialisation, we’ve developed unique and proven methods of using ink extenders and retarders as well as a variety of other materials. Many of the inks Sanderson use are manufactured solely for us and to our own proprietary specifications. Sanderson print to super-fine tolerances and routinely satisfy the most demanding of clients. No supplier is more willing – and as well equipped – to work with you to achieve the seemingly impossible.

Sample making

For ‘selling’ your ideas to colleagues and clients, a sketch or verbal description is no match for the real thing. Enter the ‘Kongsberg’ sample-making table.

Sanderson can provide prototypes and samples superfast, using the latest specialised software in conjunction with our CAD-operated Kongsberg sample-making table. The Kongsberg enables us to turn flat sheets of turtlene® into three-dimensional marvels quicker than you might imagine. For simple jobs we can sometimes provide same-day service. Complex projects and miracles will take a little longer, of course.

After your product has been designed, the CAD-operated Kongsberg can produce prototypes with ease. The Kongsberg simply creases and cuts as illustrated here.

Production

With design and print expertise, and an intuitive nature, we get it. We treat your project like it were our own. We’ll work with you to make ideas the best they can be, then deliver what we promise.

If you have questions regarding production for screen printing or use of turtlene® – or if you’d like our suggestions – just email a layout of your ideas as a pdf to info@sanderson.com.au

Forme-cutting

Sanderson use specialised CAD software to create artwork of the final shape for manufacturing die-formes.

turtlene® unique to Sanderson

turtlene® is a blend of art and precision: combining our key ingredients - polypropylene sheet, together with innovative design, production and screen printing technologies.

turtlene® is as tough as it is flexible. No more flimsy presentations or packaging that falls apart after a short while. Your design and message enjoy lasting integrity with turtlene® working for them. turtlene® also has a great tactile quality that paper and card simply can’t match.

turtlene® is well-suited to a virtually unlimited range of packaging applications; it is waterproof and resistant to perfumes, petroleum-based products, and many solvents and other harsh chemicals. It is also food-safe and 100% recyclable.

Recycling: most of the turtlene® we use comprises around 40% recycled content. If required, we can use 100% recycled turtlene®. (Please contact us for details.) Sanderson is an environmentally responsible company and all of our post-production waste is recycled and re-used.

Colours and thicknesses: turtlene® comes in a wide range of colours and thicknesses. It can be translucent or opaque. Our handy chart indicates stock colours available as well as their closest PMS match and thicknesses. Special colours can also be supplied to your specifications provided your job’s run is large enough. Please contact us for details of the minimum quantities required for these special runs.
