Section 02 — Our approach

We don't just supply pads.
We engineer them.

Every application is different. Our engineers analyse the part, printing requirements and production conditions to determine the optimal pad geometry, silicone quality and hardness. If a suitable standard pad does not exist, we design and manufacture one.

  1. 01
    Part to be printed
    You send us the part, a drawing or an existing pad.
  2. 02
    Application analysis
    Geometry, ink, substrate and cycle rate are evaluated.
  3. 03
    Pad engineering
    Shape, silicone and hardness are matched to the job.
  4. 04
    Prototype
    First-off pad tested on representative parts.
  5. 05
    Production
    Serial pads manufactured in our European facility.

Section 03 — The science

Three factors of the perfect pad.

Shape, silicone quality and hardness work together. Get them right and the image transfers cleanly, repeatedly, for thousands of cycles.

Section 04 — Pad bases

Three base materials. One fit for every line.

Every pad ships with the base that matches your tooling, registration system and cycle requirements.

Wooden base

Classic

With or without threaded holes. Lightweight, economical and proven across countless production lines.

Aluminium base

Standard

Precision-machined with threaded holes. The standard choice for stable, repeatable fixturing.

Steel base

High-precision

Magnetic fixation and positioning holes for fast tool changes and exact pad registration.

Section 05 — Frequently asked

Engineering FAQ.

Share your part, drawing or existing pad. Our engineers analyse geometry, image size, surface and production rate to recommend the optimal pad.

Harder pads (lower Shore values from our 20 / 40 / 60 grades) suit fine detail and flat surfaces. Softer pads accommodate curved or complex geometries.

Red excels in high-output production on smooth surfaces, and white is engineered for fine detail and the sharpest image transfer.

Yes. We design and manufacture fully custom geometries when no standard pad fits, including special shapes for unusual part contours.

Send us a sample or detailed photographs with dimensions. We can reverse-engineer and reproduce existing geometries.

Part drawing or 3D file, image to print, substrate material, ink system, production volume and machine type cover most projects.

Absolutely — physical samples are welcome and often the fastest route to a perfect recommendation.

Yes. Antistatic versions of our silicones are available for electronics and other ESD-sensitive applications.

Wooden (with or without threaded holes), aluminium with threaded holes, and steel with magnetic fixation and positioning holes.

First-off prototypes typically ship in 5 – 10 working days, depending on geometry and silicone selection.
