As an indirect gravure printing process, pad printing is based on a photosensitive plate (cliché) in which the print image is recessed. A squeegee floods the recess with ink and removes excess ink. An elastic silicone pad picks up the ink and transfers it to the workpiece. Pad printing is the perfect solution when it comes to transferring precise and detailed prints onto uneven, curved or textured surfaces. Thanks to the high flexibility of the printing pad, logos, symbols and markings can be applied to almost any material.
