Pad printing is a versatile printing method for printing two-dimensional images or text onto three-dimensional substrates, including medical devices, cosmetics, and promotional materials. The method is especially ideal for applying an image to objects with a curved surface or unique shape. Teca-Print USA offers the following subcontract print services:

• Pre and post-part inspections: Our pad printing processes can be automated with vision inspection to ensure proper alignment and print quality.
• Pre-treatment for adhesion: We adjust the consistency of the ink using a thinner that evaporates when exposed to air, allowing for better adhesion from the pad to the transfer surface.
• Single and multi-color pad printing: Our single-color pad printing services fulfill high-volume orders rapidly, and our multi-color pad printing adds multiple tones and gradients to surfaces in various shapes.
• Rotational pad printing: Our rotational pad printing produces a 360° printed image on parts with a round or cylindrical shape.
• Multiple-location pad printing: We can print multiple surfaces of an object in a single-step process, reducing cost and turnaround time.
• High-volume pad printing: Our in-house automated pad printing equipment produces high-volume prints at a low cost with quick turnaround.
• Special effect printing: We can apply special effects, including shimmers, metallic details, neon inks, and glow-in-the-dark prints with pad printing.

Teca-Print USA also provides subcontract UV/LED digital printing services. This printing method involves applying photosensitive ink to a surface and curing it under UV light. UV/LED digital printing is compatible with various surfaces and easily creates layers and textures, making it ideal for Braille signage.

In addition to subcontract pad printing and UV/LED digital printing, we offer the following services:

• CO2 laser cutting and engraving
• Fiber laser engraving
• High-quality photo printing for widths up to 42 inches
