Custom Disc Stamps

A disc is the one piece of tournament merch every player takes home, so the stamp on it is the design most people see the most. Since 2020 we’ve run a custom disc for most events and a few for the club itself, through whichever manufacturer had the plastic and the process the design needed. Dynamic Discs for most hot stamps and every DyeMax, Innova and Discraft for the championship runs.

The two processes want different art. A hot stamp is foil pressed through a die. One or two colors, no gradients, and anything thinner than a hair drops out, so the line has to carry the design. That’s why the Majette Monster stamp is a single-weight line drawing and why Nessie is water and a neck and nothing else. A DyeMax is a full-color print over the whole face of the disc, so it can be a scene instead of a mark. The Lost Toss disc gets Santa and an elf throwing under palms.

Every one of these went through a vendor proof, and I keep the proofs. The proof is the mock-up at maximum size on the actual plastic color, with the reminder that once you approve it, whatever’s on it is on it.
