Some products just don’t work with flat printing methods. A branded pen, a golf ball, a curved plastic casing — anything with an irregular or curved surface needs a different approach. That’s what pad printing is for, and it’s one of the in-house capabilities PI Printers runs from our Lyndhurst facility.
What Is Pad Printing?
Pad printing uses a soft silicone pad to lift an image from an etched plate and press it onto a product’s surface — including curved, textured, or recessed areas that flat printing methods can’t reach.
