- Portable Document Format (PDF) files
- Preserve the visually rich content of original files, and are easier to read than HTML content that appears in a Web browser. Adobe PDF files print cleanly and quickly, and anyone can share Adobe PDF files, regardless of their platform or software application
- Pad printing
- A recessed surface is covered with ink. The plate is wiped clean, leaving ink in the recessed areas. A silicone pad is then pressed against the plate, pulling the ink out of the recesses, and pressing it directly onto the product.
- Page layout documents
- The font files and document preferences that need to be supplied for use on the supplier's operating system.
- Pantone Matching System (PMS)
- A book of standardised colour in a fan format used to identify, match and communicate colours in order to produce accurate colour matches in printing. Each colour has a coded number indicating instructions for mixing inks to achieve that colour.
- Paper proof
- Impression of type or artwork on paper so the correctness and quality of the material to be printed can be checked. The least expensive is a regular black and white faxed paper proof.
- Personalisation
- Imprinting an item with a person's name or company logo using one of several methods such as hot foil stamping, embossing, debossing, dye sublimation, digital or screen printing, to name a few.
- PostScript
- A computer description language that allows a programmer to create complex pages using a series of commands.
- Pre-production proof
- An actual physical sample of the product itself produced and sent for approval before an order goes into production.
- Production time
- The amount of time needed to produce and ship an order, once an order has been received and approved. Stock products with a one-colour imprint usually ship much quicker. Custom products and those with multi-colour imprints require longer production time.
- Plastic
- Plastic is the general common term for a wide range of synthetic or semisynthetic organic solid materials suitable for the manufacture of industrial products. Plastics are typically polymers of high molecular weight, and may contain other substances to improve performance and/or reduce costs.
- Polyethylene
- A tough, sturdy plastic film having very good, low temperature characteristics. Often used in the creation of Zebra media.
- Polyimide
- A high performance 1 or 2 mil top coated white or tan film having excellent tear strength, heat resistance, dimensional stability, and chemical resistance. Designed for applications requiring durable printing, high temperature performance and resistance to corrosive solvents. This product withstands soldering temperatures and cleaning solvents involved in PC board production. Designed specifically with the electronics industry and harsh environments in mind. Applications: electronic manufacturing, circuit board manufacturing (where temperatures can reach 500F), harsh environments. Thermal transfer printable. Performance range up to 700F.
- Polystyrene
- An opaque, rubber modified surface treated film with stiffness allowing for easy dispensing and designed for prime label applications. Not recommended for outdoor use.
- Polylith
- A matte white BCDC film suitable for a wide range of applications where durability, strength, moisture and chemical resistance, and superb printability are required. FDA compliant for direct food contact. Can be used for outdoor use for up to one month.
- Prism
- A micro-embossed metalized paper with a two-dimensional holographic diffraction pattern.
- Polypropylene, talc filled (Calcium Carbonate Reinforced)
- A single layer filled polypropylene film. Service temperature range: -4F - 150F. UV resistance/outdoor use: poor. Available in 6 mil, 8 mil, and 10 mil grades. Printability: Good for line art, four color process, ballpoint, and dot matrix, fair in thermal transfer printers. Damages laser printers. Advantages: a low cost film. Weaknesses: short term outdoor life, yellows under UV light exposure, less strength than other films. Cost scale: 14/100.
