The kinds and features of Silicone PAD
There are 4 kinds of “Silicone PAD”. They are ① Shape, ② Hardness, ③ Type and ④ Base. Silicone PAS should be adequately selected by considering the printing size and the shape of products.
① Shape
The shape should be selected by considering the printing size and the shape of products.
- Generally, a pointed pad will print more beautifully.
- A bigger and blunt PAD is much better for the curved surface.
- The completion of a blunt PAD will be much better in case that printing speed is slow.
- In case the shape of products is complicate and the special designed PAD is necessary, we can make it by a special order.
Please refer to the list by shapes. (this page below)
② Hardness
The hardness should be selected by shape of products, printing design, ink and printing speed.
