Process

Pad Printing

Curved and odd-shaped parts, fine detail

Process overview

A silicone pad lifts ink from an etched plate and presses it onto the part. The pad flexes, so it follows curves, recesses and irregular shapes — ideal for small precise marks on hardware, plastic housings, electronics and gift items. Fills the gaps where a flat screen cannot reach.
