Plastic post-processing: plastic pad printing

Plastic pad printing is an indirect printing process that prints patterns, text or other marks on the surface of plastic products. First, the printing pattern is transferred from the printing plate to the silicone pad printing head, and then the silicone pad printing head transfers the pattern to the surface of the plastic product.

Pad printing technology is widely used in the decoration and marking of various plastic products. The following is a detailed introduction to plastic pad printing by Universe Plastic Engineers:

Common types of pad printing etching plates

1. Thick steel plate: most suitable for production, but the printing quality is poor.

2. Thin steel plate: usually pre-coated with a layer of photosensitive emulsion, which is more practical.

3. Photopolymer board: The printing quality is the best, but the production durability is relatively poor.

Advantages of plastic pad printing

1. Strong adaptability It can print on irregular shapes, uneven surfaces and plastic products of various materials.

2. High precision Able to print detailed and complex patterns with high resolution and high contrast.

3. Multi-color printing Precise printing of multi-color patterns can be achieved, and different colors can be superimposed through multiple pad printings.

4. Economical and efficient Pad printing equipment and process costs are low, and it is suitable for small and medium-sized batch production and multi-variety printing.
