  The corrosion effect is obtained with the use of chemical products that locally whiten the background color of the fabric (without formaldehyde) .

  This process makes it possible to avoid the base white on dark items, the latter being used in screen printing to provide coverage and to bring out the colors printed later.

   

  Please note that this technique can only be performed on 100% cotton garments. 
  Corrosion can also be used without adding colored pigments, giving an exclusively bleaching effect to your graphics. The final result is very particular as the print is imperceptible to the touch and the cotton takes on a natural color (the color of natural cotton is creamy white).

• Engraving

  Pubblicarrello also offers the laser engraving service on metal gadgets. 
  This customization uses a beam of coherent radiation that digs the surface of the metal, imprinting the graphic pattern in a precise and resistant manner. 
  The laser beam penetrates the surface and removes it, causing a depression in the area. Since the heated material reacts to the ambient air, in the engraving areas there is often also produced a discoloration which makes the marking even more evident. 
  Thanks to the physical characteristics of the laser it is possible to reach a very high definition level, this guarantees a faithful reproduction of small images and characters. 
  The engraving will give your gadgets a very elegant and pleasant visual effect.
