Rigid PVC question

[rdtzn1]

Hi
I'm thinking of expanding our companies product range to include a new product. This requires printing graphics onto a small (roughly 15cm square) piece of rigid PVC. Can anyone provide any advice on a low cost setup that will allow me to print on PVC. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

screenprint?

low cost / med. learning curve

Thanks for the quick response. One thing that I probably should have mentioned is that every one of the items will have a different design - is screenprinting a feasible option? My understanding was that it was better suited to a multiple prints of the same image.

well if you are looking for direct to substrate, the only other option I am aware of is flatbed printing

yes screening would be much better suited for multiples

Ok thanks. That doesn't sound cheap - any idea what an entry level flatbed printer might cost?

not too bad - 9"x13" area @ roughly $12k
