Popular Printing & Decoration Methods for the Promotional Products Industry
What is Pad Printing?
Any way you look at it, Pad Printing is an unlikely imaging process. It borrows a unique amalgamation of features from gravure, screenprinting and rubber stamp printing, yet its most frequent industrial decorating competitor is none of these processes. Instead, Pad Printing most often encroaches on jobs once dominated by Hot Stamping. Even the process itself is somewhat befuddling. If the ink is so attracted by the silicone pad that it leaves the recessed areas of the printing plate, why does it abandon the pad so completely upon touching the substrate? Unlikely as it may be however, this process is finding increasing favour in a host of commercial and industrial applications. Why?
It is adaptable to a variety of shapes and contours on parts with a variation in the surface, yet fine detail and precise copy can be achieved. Four color process is obtained with exact registration. Pad printing is ideal for decorating toys, plastic housewares, and injection molded components. This technology also lends itself to marking electronic components such as resistors, canisters, and connectors. Any part, plastic, ceramic, or metal can be production marked by this process. The equipment can be semi or fully automated, yet remains a low capital expenditure technology.
What is Screen Printing?
Screenprinting, silkscreening, or serigraphy is a printmaking technique that creates a sharp-edged image using a stencil. A screenprint or serigraph is an image created using this technique.
