I do some pad printing. I think you said the boxes are black and that the logo is black and red, mostly red. That may not work out too well since the red will not show up very well on black. Then how would you separate the black in the logo from the black substrate? I am willing to give it a try if you could send me a sample box to test ( also need the art work). </p> <p>I am in southwest Arkansas.

They do very nice wholesale pad printing and screen printing work. They have done some very odd shaped items we have presented them with. 800-726-1445</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 11 Jan 2007 by DATAKES</p> <hr /><a name="a5722_15"></a><p><b>From: Mick</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5722.15">#15</a>]<br /> 11 Jan 2007<br /><b>To: cindy (ROBERTM)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5722.8">#8</a>] 12 Jan 2007</p> <p>Cindy<br /> ABS is very easy to print using the OEM, I have only printed on white though.
