What you need to know about pad printing

Pad printing is a technique where ink is transferred from an etched plate to the product using a silicone pad. It’s ideal for printing logos and fine details on curved or uneven surfaces like pens, lighters, USB drives, mugs, and other promotional items.

Before placing an order, please note:

• File format: vector file required (PDF, AI, SVG).

• Number of colors: each color requires a separate plate, which affects the cost.

• Print area: limited – best for small to medium print zones.

• Minimum quantity: 50 pieces.

• Production time: 5–10 business days after design approval and payment.

• Price: depends on the number of colors, print area, and product shape.

Pad printing provides accurate and durable results on complex surfaces. It’s most commonly used for customizing promotional items.
