Transfer pad printing commonly known as pad printing is an “indirect offset gravure” process originally used in the watch making industry in Switzerland to decorate watch faces. It has now developed to be one of the major methods for decorating the surface of flat, convex, concave and generally uneven surfaces. Pad printing can be used to decorate a variety of materials including glass, plastic, wood, and metal. At stable print we can print 1,2,3 and 4 spot colours or even four colour process on our machines in one operation. Our range of machines can be fitted with various bolt on extras to allow for single jig shuttle operations for multi- colour work on small quantities, carrousel conveyors for medium quantities, linear conveyors for large quantities and even robotics for longer production runs. The in line pre – treatment of plastics is also possible when required with our bolt on flaming units. We can even arrange for custom-built machine tooling if required. For example to allow components to be printed both sides in one process. Facilities are available to make low cost printing plates in house for shorter runs or we can arrange for hardened steel plates for longer production runs.
