Printing International delivers dedicated pad printing systems designed specifically for solid dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, softgels, hardgels, and freeze-dried products.
Our technology ensures highly stable printing performance with an acceptance rate of 99%+, making it ideally suited for reliable and repeatable pharmaceutical production.
✔ Ultra-Precise Printing
Our patented linear printing system guarantees perfect alignment and stable positioning.
A controlled vacuum holds each tablet or capsule in place, preventing rotation or slipping.
This ensures clean, crisp prints without scratching, pressure marks, or surface deformation.
✔ No Titanium Dioxide Coating Required
Thanks to our advanced pad printing process, tablets do not require a TiO₂ coating for optimal ink adhesion.
This reduces cost, simplifies formulation, and helps manufacturers comply with evolving regulatory expectations.
✔ Full Compliance With Pharmaceutical Standards
All machine components in contact with your products are manufactured from FDA-approved materials.
Every system can be validated through IQ/OQ/PQ, and our controls comply with GAMP guidelines to support your audits and quality requirements.
✔ High Acceptance Rate: 99%+
achieved through optimized mechanics, stable vacuum retention, controlled pad contact, and optional camera-based verification, ensuring reliable continuous operation with minimal rejects and automated removal of out-of-spec products.
