Custom Pad Printing for Oakley Sunglass Frame Legs

Deco Technology Group provides expert pad printing services for Oakley® sunglass frame legs, delivering sharp, long-lasting decoration on high-performance eyewear. Whether it’s logos, model numbers, or compliance marks, our Swiss-quality equipment and industry-leading inks ensure superior adhesion and clarity on every print.

Sunglass frame legs often feature curved geometries and are made from challenging materials like O Matter™, nylon, or reinforced polymers. Deco Tech meets these challenges with advanced Printcolor pad printing inks formulated for difficult substrates and with resistance to UV exposure, sweat, abrasion, and daily wear.

Pad printing is the most effective method for decorating 3D sunglass components. Our flexible silicone pads transfer ink from an etched cliché directly onto the frame legs with perfect registration, even on complex contours. This process is ideal for:

• Oakley logo placement
• Model and serial number printing
• Regulatory compliance markings (CE, UV400, etc.)
• Special edition graphics and brand customization

We rely on Printcolor high-performance inks for all eyewear decoration projects. Printcolor offers solvent-based and UV-curable ink systems that are specifically designed for difficult substrates, including:

• High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
• Polycarbonate (PC)
• Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE)
• Glass-filled polymers

These inks offer outstanding resistance to abrasion, UV exposure, sweat, and chemicals, making them ideal for sports eyewear, tactical gear, and fashion applications.

We exclusively use Printcolor Inks known for their high-opacity, scratch resistance, and adhesion to technical plastics. Printcolor’s pad printing inks provide:

• Excellent UV and sweat resistance
• High flexibility to prevent cracking
• Compatibility with common sunglass materials including polycarbonate, nylon blends, and elastomers
• Custom color matching for brand consistency

In addition to printing, Deco Tech also designs and manufactures precision tooling and custom automation solutions to increase throughput and consistency in eyewear decoration. Whether it’s a semi-automatic pad printing setup or a fully automated line, we offer scalable solutions to meet production demand.
