Pad printing and stamping service

Pad Printing & Stamping on Plastic Parts

Pad printing is a dry offset printing process that transfers a 2D image onto a 3D object using a silicone pad. It allows fine-line printing on irregular surfaces and is often preferred over screen printing when parts have curves, recesses, or complex shapes.

Typical Marking

Common printing requirements we support for molded plastic components.

  • Brand logos and product names
  • Part numbers, icons, and symbols
  • Safety marks and identification text
  • Orientation marks and scale indicators
  • Custom artwork (as required)

Service Process

  • Artwork & Setup

    Artwork review, plate/cliché preparation, and process setup for consistent print alignment.

  • Ink Selection & Sampling

    Ink selection based on surface and durability needs, with sampling for approval before production.

Where It Works Best

Pad printing is ideal for curved or uneven surfaces where sharp details and fine lines are needed. It is commonly used for branding, part identification, and functional markings on molded plastic components.

Printing options depend on artwork, part geometry, and durability requirements.
