Pad Printing: Universal High-Precision Marking Technique

What is pad printing?

Pad printing is a marking technique that uses silicone pads to print your logo on items with exceptional precision. This method guarantees sharp finishing and perfect Pantone color matching (PMS). Recognized as the most widely used printing technique in the marking industry, it involves engraving the logo on a metal plate then transferring it via a silicone pad that doesn't retain ink. Each color requires separate printing, like screen printing.
