PAD PRINTING Pad printing uses a soft silicone pad to transfer an image taken from a plate etched with a reversed logo, similar to a rubber stamp. Images can be very small and detailed and can be up to 5½ inches in diameter. Pad printers are capable of printing up to six colors, however most industry printers use one to two colors at most when printing on apparel.
Pad printing is a popular trend for tagless label printing in the inside nape of apparel pieces. The prints are soft, durable and capable of high and low volume production.
Pad printing is great for sling bags, totes and other items that are difficult to decorate, as well as styles that are heat sensitive.
