Pad Printing
Pad printing is the process of using a silicone rubber “pad” to transfer an image onto an object. It is especially useful as you can print onto almost anything, objects that are not flat or that have uneven surfaces. And most materials such as plastic, glass or metal. It is used quite extensively in the promotional industry to brand products such as pens, golf balls, key rings, glasses, coffee mugs, USB flash drives and so many other corporate promotional products.
Pad printing (also called tampography) is a printing process that can transfer a 2-D image onto a 3-D object.
