Once you’ve picked a bucket, the next decision is how to put your logo on it. The two main methods produce very different looks, and the right one depends on your artwork, finish, and how the buckets will be used.
Screen printing
Screen printing lays cured ink onto the bucket. It’s the method for full-color logos and brand colors that need to pop, and it’s cost-effective at volume. If your logo is colorful and you want it loud, printing is the answer.
Laser engraving
Engraving burns your mark into the metal itself — no ink to scratch or fade. The look is understated and premium, and it shines on stainless steel and gift buckets. The trade-off: it’s single-tone, so it won’t reproduce full-color artwork.
| Screen print | Laser engraving | |
|---|---|---|
| Color | Full color | Single tone |
| Look | Bold, visible | Subtle, premium |
| Durability | Very good | Permanent |
| Best finish | Galvanized, painted | Stainless |
