PAD PRINTING: today
In an increasingly more competitive and selective market, which is often detrimental to quality, product customisation and identification play a fundamental role in distinguishing products, enabling them to compete on an equal level with increasingly more aggressive competitors. From household appliances to sports goods, from electronic products to promotional articles, from containers for cosmetics to medical products, from bags to shoes, from vehicle parts to aircraft parts and even food products such as biscuits, sweets, chocolate and much, much more, NOTHING IS UNPRINTABLE NOW!!! It is within this framework that pad printing (COMEC ITALIA) can make an important contribution towards differentiating one product from another. Pad printing offers unbeatable flexibility for the decoration of irregular surfaces and small objects, is an excellent addition to silk-screen printing or other printing systems and also represents a valid alternative for larger work such as satellite dishes, balls, mineral oil drums, gas bottles, etc. Even digital printing, which is now present in many industrial sectors from posters to t-shirts and CDs and some claim will be the only printing system in the future, will never be a substitute for pad printing when it comes to complex materials and surfaces, as thanks to the wide range of inks and colours it can be used to print onto paper, silicone, metal, glass and, as mentioned previously, even food products, with incredible precision. The current range of pad printing machines extends from low cost, manual bench machines for samples to computerised, servo-assisted work centres, to large machines with UV drying systems for high-quality industrial and technological applications, encompassing a series of intermediate machines with variable characteristics and costs but always of the highest quality. The progress and technological advances made in the field of pad printing machines will enable us to obtain better and better prints on an increasingly wider range of products, more so than for any other printing method and whilst technology continues to evolve we can only imagine where this wonderful printing technique will take us.
