Pad printing on packaging

Pad‑printing service: precise logos and details on curved or irregular surfaces.

Pad printing is an indirect decoration process that transfers ink from an engraved cliché to the part via a silicone pad.

Ideal for text, pictograms, codes and high‑definition micro‑details on bottles, caps and closures.

How it works: the cliché is inked and doctor‑bladed; the pad picks up the ink and transfers it while conforming to the surface.
Suitable substrates: plastic, glass and metal. Low‑surface‑energy plastics may require pre‑treatment (corona/plasma).

Excellent on curved/irregular surfaces and small print areas; retains sharpness even on very fine lines.

Fast multi‑colour printing (“wet‑on‑wet”) with consecutive passes and no lengthy drying times.

Wide selection of inks tailored to each substrate.
Capable of non‑UV processes when the substrate requires.
