What is Pad Printing?

The pad printing process uses a silicone rubber printing pad to transfer ink from an etched printing plate directly on to the component.

The flexibility of the printing pad means that curved or uneven surfaces can be printed easily. Multi-colour and process colour images can be printed using a component shuttle or a carousel system. The printing of very fine detail is also possible.

Pad printing was developed for the watch industry and is still used today by the world’s leading watch manufacturers.

Other applications include the printing of automotive components, medical devices and a huge range of plastic moulded parts which require printing.
