Pad printing, also called tampography or tampo printing, is an indirect offset (gravure) printing process where a silicon pad takes a 2-D image from a laser engraved (etched) printing plate (also called clichu00e9) and transfers it to a 3-D object.

What Is Pad Printing? Pad printing is a unique printing process used for transferring 2-D images onto 3-D objects. Like the name, this technology utilizes a silicone ‘pad’ to essentially pick up an image (such as your logo) and transfer it onto a designated object (your product). This technology is typically used to print on difficult or oddly shaped surfaces like a golf ball, toy, syringe or remote. From single-color transfers to a detailed CMYK print process, or even from printing flat objects to oddly shaped ones, pad printing jobs can be complex.
