Pad Printing
A master technique for intricate artistry, pad printing allows for the transfer of delicate details that transcend the limits of traditional screen printing. Utilizing a soft, precision stamp, ink is meticulously applied to the glass through a specialized cliché. This flexible process ensures that even the most complex curves and irregular surfaces are decorated with absolute clarity and finesse.

FAQ
Q: When is pad printing preferred over screen printing?
A: Pad printing is the ideal choice for challenging geometries, such as curved surfaces or the base of a bottle, where screen printing or hot stamping cannot reach.
Q: Is pad printing available in any color?
A: Yes. We offer a full spectrum of opaque and translucent shades. For metallic effects like gold and silver, however, we recommend our specialized hot stamping or electroplating techniques.
Q: What are the technical limitations of pad printing?
A: The specific design of the bottle dictates the accessible decoration area. To ensure every detail remains sharp and permanent, a minimum line thickness must be observed in the artwork.
Q: Is pad printing compatible with all fragrances?
A: To ensure the highest quality, we perform a compatibility test for each project. This guarantees the ink remains perfectly stable when in contact with your specific fragrance ingredients.
Q: What durability tests are performed on pad-printed surfaces?
A: Every finished piece is subjected to rigorous quality control, including dry friction, adhesion, and water resistance tests to ensure the decoration endures.
