Is Pad Printing or Screen Printing the Right Choice?
When planning an upcoming project that will require industrial decorating such as screen printing, pad printing, or laser etching, it’s always recommended to involve your printing vendor early on. Even if a particular process has worked well in the past, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right process for your newest project. Depending on the application, the vendor may have a more practical and cost-effective approach based on their knowledge and experience. You could potentially save thousands off the price and tooling cost by addressing the following factors before committing to a specific decorating method. Do you…
-
Have a high volume, small part?
-
Have a low volume, large part?
-
Need printing on a variety of parts?
-
Have a flat, concave, or convex print area?
-
Have a prototype project or production run?
-
Need flexibility in color-matching choices?
-
Have special requirements such as UV resistance?
-
Require a specific process or are there other variables to consider?
Those are only a few things to consider when it comes to the screen printing vs. pad printing debate. Every project is unique, so the answer isn’t always as obvious as one might initially think. For more information, continue reading about the benefits of each process. Or, if you need direction tailored to your specific project, send us a message and we’ll be happy to help.
