1、 The most commonly used screen printing:
Basic principle of screen printing: Printing is carried out using the basic principle of using the screen printing plate to have ink penetration through the mesh of the image and text parts, and not through the mesh of the image and text parts. When printing, pour ink onto one end of the screen printing plate, and use a scraper to apply a certain amount of pressure to the ink area on the screen printing plate, while moving towards the other end of the screen printing plate. The ink is squeezed onto the substrate by a scraper from the mesh of the image and text section during movement.

2、 Laser logo:
Laser engraving principle: Using a computer-controlled 3D laser engraving machine, the laser is focused on a predetermined position inside the crystal product, generating pulse high temperatures in a very short time, instantly causing the crystal to crack under heat, forming tiny white dots. A large number of white dots are carved/formed into predetermined shapes inside the crystal, while the rest of the crystal remains intact and intact.
The crystal used for laser engraving can be divided into two situations:
1. Engraved flat pattern inside (such as 2D graphics such as company name).
2. Embossed three-dimensional pattern: It has a strong three-dimensional sense and is very suitable for representing the company's flagship products.
