Pad printing

(P0-P7)

Pad printing is a technique where silicone stamps are used to print the logo on the item. With this technique you achieve a sharper finish and a perfect colour matching (PMS) is achievable. Pad printing is the most used printing technique whereby a logo is engraved onto a metal plate and then transferred onto the item using a silicone pad, as ink does not adhere to silicone. Like Screen printing each colour must be printed separately.
