Contourless industrial transfer, the invisible alternative to direct printing

In many industrial sectors, the aesthetics and precision of marking have become as strategic as technical performance. Traditional dry decals are usually encapsulated between transparent technical layers. While this technology guarantees robustness and durability, it does leave a thin transparent outline around the image. For some markets, this detail was no longer acceptable.

Our customers asked us for an alternative that could replace direct printing while retaining the technical advantages of industrial transfer printing.

 

Our R&D department took up the challenge.

 

A new standard: transfer without visible edges 

With TRANSTIP 892 (glossy) and TRANSTIP 893 (matt), we have developed an innovative transfer technology with no visible edges.

The result :

✔ Visual rendering as close as possible to direct printing
✔ Seamless integration with the substrate
✔ A uniform finish with no visible film

The effect is immediate: the design appears to be printed directly onto the piece.

 

Why remove the outline?

In certain demanding markets — cosmetics, premium equipment, high-end technical devices — visual perception is crucial.

Even a very thin transparent outline can  :

• Breaking the ‘direct printing’ effect
• Create a break in gloss on smooth surfaces
• Be visible from certain angles or under certain lighting conditions

TRANSTIP 892 & 893 have been designed to completely eliminate this effect.

 

Two finishes to suit your surfaces

TRANSTIP 892 — Glossy finish

Ideal for :

• Glossy Substrates
• High-gloss injection-moulded parts
• Applications requiring perfect surface continuity

The transfer blends visually into the substrate, without any optical break.

 

TRANSTIP 893 — Matt finish

Perfect for :

• Textured or satin finishes
• Premium markets seeking a simple and elegant look
• Rooms where any variation in light reflection must be controlled

 

A strategic alternative to direct printing

Beyond aesthetics, TRANSTIP offers  :

• High industrial flexibility
• A solution suited to medium and large production runs
• Mastery of colours and details
• Reduced constraints associated with direct printing on complex parts
• Improved carbon footprint as there is no need to travel back and forth to mark the parts
• According to our already satisfied customers, the marking station offers autonomy and renewed confidence in the final quality of the product.

It thus combines industrial performance with aesthetic requirements.

Innovation serving demanding markets

Faced with growing demands from our customers, we have turned a constraint into a technological opportunity.

TRANSTIP 892 and 893 mark a major development in the field of industrial transfer: an invisible, high-performance solution designed to replace direct printing without compromise.
