High-Volume Pad Printing for Caps and Closures
Injection molders and packaging suppliers need precise branding on rigid plastic caps, lids, closures, and cap seals. We specialize in high-volume pad printing for the most demanding production environments. Our process utilizes flexible silicone pads to transfer crisp graphics to cap seals, bung seals, dust covers, and specialty lids - an alternative to hot stamping. We deliver consistent results that are trusted by health and beauty brands, food and beverage companies, packaging suppliers, and plastic injection molders.
Printing Solutions for Complex Cap Geometries
Standard decoration methods struggle with uneven or contoured packaging parts. Pad printing solves this problem by using a soft silicone pad that conforms perfectly to irregular shapes. This allows us to transfer flawless designs onto ribbed edges, recessed tops, textured materials, and curved sports caps. Our setup maintains tight registration across high-volume runs to ensure your branding looks clean and professional on every single unit.
Delivering High-Detail and Multi-Color Graphics
When your project requires more than a simple metallic foil, our pad printing services deliver the exact visual specifications your brand demands. We engineer our production lines to handle intricate artwork, tight tolerances, precise color matching, and multi-color layouts.
- Multi-Color Logo Registration: We maintain exact alignment for complex brand images requiring two or more colors.
- Exact PMS Color Matching: Our in-house color matching team mixes opaque standard colors and custom inks to match your brand guidelines perfectly.
- Fine Text and Production Information: We cleanly print regulatory text, barcodes, functional instructions, and batch codes directly onto the plastic surface.
Superior Ink Adhesion with Custom Pretreatment
Printing on common closure materials like polypropylene and polyethylene requires specialized surface preparation. Without it, ink will easily scratch or peel off during handling. We operate custom-built flame treating and corona pretreatment equipment to prepare these specific plastics before any ink touches the surface. This crucial step ensures our conventional solvent-based and UV pad print inks create a permanent bond with the cap.
