Pad Printing
Pad printing is a printing process that can transfer a 2-D image onto a 3-D object. This is accomplished using an indirect offset (gravure) printing process that involves an image being transferred from the printing plate via a silicone pad onto a substrate (surface to be printed).
Pad printing is used for printing on otherwise impossible products in many industries including medical, automotive, promotional, apparel, electronics, appliances, sports equipment and toys.
The unique properties of the silicone pad enable it to pick the image up from a flat plane and transfer it to a variety of surfaces (i.e. flat, cylindrical, spherical, compound angles, textures, concave surfaces, convex surfaces).
