Pad Printing & Tampo Printing

From a simple single colour digit on a medical instrument through to a 4-colour image on a frisbee, industrial pad printing, or tampo print, can do it all. Industrial pad printing is a printing process that transfers a 2D image onto a 3D object.

Industrial Pad or Tampo Printing for your products…

The printing process uses a silicone pad to transfer the image onto almost any shaped surface. Also known as Direct Branding, this process is the best way to add tampo print to your product when a self-adhesive label does not work or doesn’t look right for the image you are trying to achieve.

The silicone pad’s unique properties allow it to pick up the image from a flat surface and transfer printing it on to a variety of surfaces including, but not limited to, flat, spherical, cylindrical, textured, concave and convex objects.
