Pad Printing

Pad printing is an indirect printing technique used to transfer a decoration onto complex, curved or irregular surfaces.

Thanks to a flexible pad, the ink is applied precisely onto the part, making it possible to decorate areas that are difficult to access or shapes that are not suitable for flat printing.

This technology is particularly useful for small decorations, logos, precise markings or graphic details that need to adapt to the geometry of the product. It offers a reliable solution for adding visual identity and technical information on parts with specific shapes.

Key features

Application on complex shapes and textured surfaces

Pad printing makes it possible to decorate curved, irregular, textured or hard-to-access surfaces, where flat printing would be less suitable.

Precise application on limited areas

This technology is particularly suitable for small logos, pictograms, short references or graphic details requiring a clean application on a limited area.

Adaptability to product geometry

Thanks to the flexible pad, the ink can be transferred with precision onto components with curves, reliefs, textures or localized decoration areas.

Clean and controlled marking

Pad printing provides a clear, well-positioned and visually clean result, even when the available surface is limited, complex or textured.

Complementarity with other finishes

It can be used in combination with other technologies, such as lacquering, liquid metallization or screen printing, to add a logo, visual signature, pictogram or short text onto an already decorated product.

Pad printing makes it possible to decorate curved, irregular, textured or hard-to-access surfaces, where flat printing would be less suitable.

Client benefit

01

Decoration on challenging geometries

Brands can add graphic or informative elements on complex, curved, textured or hard-to-access shapes, without being limited to flat surfaces.

02

Integration of short regulatory details

Pad printing makes it possible to apply pictograms, references, capacities or short texts on specific areas of the packaging, with a clean and readable result.

03

Reinforced product visual identity

It allows brands to add a logo, brand signature or discreet graphic detail, even on a small surface or a technical area of the component.

04

Greater design flexibility

This technology offers more freedom in the placement of decorations, especially when the product geometry or surface texture makes other printing processes less suitable.
