Pad Printing on Custom Basketballs

At Deco Technology Group, we offer professional pad printing services for custom-printed basketballs used in marketing, giveaways, retail, and sports team promotions. Our process ensures clean, legible logos even on the textured and curved surface of basketballs. Whether you're branding mini basketballs for events or regulation-size models for merchandise, our printing technology delivers durable and vibrant results.

Using Swiss-made microPrint pad printing systems, we achieve excellent accuracy on uneven surfaces. Combined with our premium Printcolor inks, the result is a high-quality, abrasion-resistant print that holds up to handling and play.

Basketballs come in various materials—rubber, synthetic leather, and composite surfaces—all of which require specialized inks and printing techniques. Our experienced team evaluates the surface energy and substrate type to ensure proper ink adhesion. We can also incorporate adhesion promoters or surface treatments for more challenging materials.

When printing on flexible or textured basketball surfaces, ink performance is critical. That’s why we recommend the Printcolor 792 Series—a quick-drying, two-component pad printing ink specially designed for substrates that require excellent elasticity and mechanical resistance.

The 792 Series offers:

• Outstanding adhesion on rubber and synthetic leathers
• High flexibility and gloss retention on curved and compressible surfaces
• Durable performance for items subject to frequent use or abrasion

This makes it the ideal choice for decorating promotional or retail-grade basketballs, where both visual impact and long-term durability matter.
