These advanced features, combined with Swiss craftsmanship, make microPrint machines the benchmark in high-end pad printing technology.
The Deco Tech line of pad printing equipment is designed for small to mid-sized companies seeking reliable, cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality. These machines are well-suited for businesses that require consistent performance, flexible operation, and solid technical support — all at a competitive price point.
In addition to the equipment, we offer full technical support, operator training, and custom tooling tailored to your production needs. Our pad printing systems are backed by a comprehensive range of consumables, including high-quality inks, silicone pads, clichés (plates), and accessories — ensuring you have everything needed to run an efficient, dependable pad printing process.
Our Swiss-made, eco-friendly pad printing cleaning systems are engineered for safe and effective cleaning of ink cups and pad printing plates (clichés). These systems use a water-based cleaning solution that is continuously filtered and recirculated — eliminating the need for frequent replacement of the cleaning agent and significantly reducing waste.
Designed for efficiency and long-term use, these units help maintain optimal print quality by keeping your tooling consistently clean. The system can also be configured to accommodate rotogravure and flexographic parts, making it a versatile solution for facilities handling multiple print technologies.
