When a logo can’t simply be printed on a flat surface

Promotional products come in many different shapes, so conventional printing techniques are not always suitable. Pad printing allows artwork to be transferred onto small, curved and complex-shaped surfaces.

In this process, the design is transferred to the product by a flexible silicone pad, which makes it possible to mark items with a limited or irregularly shaped print area.

Because of these properties, pad printing is often used for promotional products and accessories. However, we always check the suitability of the technique based on the material, the shape of the product, the size of the artwork and the quantity.

What can we personalise with pad printing?

  • Pens

    Logos, lettering and other small designs on a variety of suitable pen models.

  • Promotional accessories

    Various small items with a limited branding area.

  • Products with curved surfaces

    The flexible pad allows artwork to be transferred onto certain surfaces where direct flat printing is not suitable.

  • Corporate and promotional gifts

    Personalisation of suitable products with your logo or another brand element.

  • Other suitable products

    The options depend on the material, shape and surface of each product.
