What is Pad Printing?
Quite simply, pad printing is a process of
transferring an image from an etched cliché
(printing plate) on to a product, using silicone
pads and pad printing inks.
With the versatility of pad printing, it is of
course possible to print on to a diverse range of
promotional products - including pens, lighters,
golf balls, calculators, mugs to name but a few.
It is also possible to print on to glass, metal,
ceramics, plastics, smooth, textured or irregular
surfaces.
Pad printing is also a preferred method of
marking in industry and is widely used to print on
to
switches, circuit boards, syringes, smoke detectors
etc.
What makes the pad printing process stand out
from other forms of printing is the fact that it is
capable of imprinting images on to virtually any
shape - regardless how irregular it is! |

We think
this example
of printing on to a Walnut may help to get
the
point across! |
