This is a very important aspect since it allows many more items to be printed than screen printing. <\/p>\n<p>\u25cf Ensures <strong>precision even on irregular<\/strong> and <strong>curved<\/strong> <strong>surfaces<\/strong>. It also provides <g id=\"gid_2\">versatility<\/g> as it adapts to different materials, shapes and sizes. The quality of pad printing is <strong>very sharp<\/strong> and <strong>accurate <\/strong>even in<strong> fine strokes<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<p>\u25cf This process does not use UV colors, which is a strength when the external printing parts have speci\ufb01c characteristics. In particular, reference is made to those cases where the glass to be printed has previously been treated with release agents. Even in such situations, pad printing succeeds in ensuring an <strong>excellent result in adhesion<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, pad printing is a<strong> simple<\/strong> and <strong>precise<\/strong><strong> process<\/strong> that gives the ability to reproduce text, images or logos <strong>quickly<\/strong> and on <strong>multiple surfaces<\/strong> at a <strong>low cost<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For more information you can contact us directly: <a href=\"https:\/\/steba.it\/contatti\/\"><br \/>\n  <strong>contact us<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a> and together we find the ideal solution for your needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pad printing is one of the many packaging customization services available.
