Pad printing is an indirect printing technique in which an image is transferred from a film (plate) using a flexible silicone pad onto the printed item. This allows logos, text, and graphic motifs to be printed on concave, convex, cylindrical, spherical surfaces and microelementswhere screen printing or digital printing are impossible or ineffective. ENCRES DUBUIT pad printing inks provide excellent print quality, high adhesion, and resistance to mechanical and chemical factors.
Our range includes inks for all key pad printing applications – from promotional items, through cosmetics and electronics, to automotive, medical devices, and technical textiles. Both inks are available single-component, two-component, as well as dedicated to non-activated polypropylene and formulations "clean formulation" for sensitive applications, and selected series are certified ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX® – Level 3.
Pad printing inks for decorating objects with complex shapes

ENCRES DUBUIT inks provide excellent grip for substrates such as plastics, glass, metal, wood or ceramics, as well as stability in serial production and resistance to repeated manipulation.
