Pad printing relies on specially formulated inks designed to bond with diverse substrates while delivering exceptional print quality. Choosing the right ink chemistry is critical for long-term durability, resistance, and compliance—especially in regulated industries like medical and food packaging.
These quick-drying inks cure via solvent evaporation and are ideal for standard plastic materials, coated metals, rubber, and certain treated surfaces. They offer excellent ease of use and cost efficiency for general-purpose pad printing.
Applications: Toys, promotional products, buttons, general industrial goods.
Two-component (2K) inks are mixed with a hardener just before use, improving adhesion and resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and sterilization. These are the preferred choice for demanding environments where ink performance is mission critical.
Applications: Medical devices, automotive components, durable consumer electronics.
UV inks offer a fast, energy-efficient curing method that reduces VOC emissions. These inks partially dry via solvent, then fully cure under UV exposure. They’re excellent for high-speed production lines and sensitive packaging substrates.
Applications: Cosmetics, medical packaging, food containers, electronic housings.
