Padtec is the UK's leading manufacturer of silicone rubber printing pads, bespoke cliche plates and Marabu inks for Pad Printing machines. Padtec has over 40 years of experience in the manufacture of silicone pads for the pad printing industry and supplies printing pads throughout the whole of Europe. Pad printing is a photogravure process involving a silicone rubber printing pad to transfer a chosen image from a steel etched plate onto the desired product.
Pad printing is widely used on medical devices, automotive parts and uneven surfaces like golf balls due to the flexibility of the silicone used to produce the pads. The process involves images being etched onto printing or cliche plates, the cliche is then coated with ink using an ink spatula. The ink is then removed by the doctor blade leaving ink only in the image of the cliche.
The pad then presses down onto the cliche picking up the ink from the image and transferring it to the part being printed. With over 40 years manufacturing in the industry our in house production team has a wealth of experience and can offer a bespoke design service to ensure any printing requirement can be met.
