Two-color pad printing shuttle machine 175-4S2E MYY25-0020

The term “pad printer” derives from the pad‑printing process, which uses a photosensitive technique to precisely etch a design onto a polished steel plate. The plate is then inked, excess ink is wiped away, and a soft silicone pad picks up the ink from the etched areas, transferring it onto the substrate.

This printing technique delivers exquisite, finely detailed results and is particularly well suited for small areas and uneven surfaces—conditions where other printing methods often fall short. Consequently, pad printers are widely used in industries such as electronics, plastics, toys, and glass. For example:

1. Automotive: switches, buttons, levers, etc.
2. Electronics: electronic components, product housings, sockets, relays, magnetic tapes, optical discs, etc.
3. Daily use: ornaments, clocks, ovens, labels, etc.
4. Toys: toy trains, dolls, building blocks, etc.
5. Culture: fountain pens, pencils, etc.
6. Advertising: advertising light boxes, etc.
