Custom Pad Assembly Design and Production
We also specialize in designing and building custom pad assemblies of multiples of the same pad or several different pads, depending on your specifications and application.

Rotary Pads
Although most silicone pads are used for transferring images from flat cliché plates, there are also special rotary pads which are used to transfer images from rotary drum clichés. These are specified for high-speed, automated systems in which parts, usually round or cylindrical in shape, are decorated. Rotary pads come in two types of silicone rubber, depending on the particular needs of an application.
