Repeatable Pad Printing For High Volume Plastic Components

Repeatable Pad Printing For High Volume Plastic Components

Repeatability becomes the real test of a printing process once volume increases, since a method that works fine on a handful of parts can start to drift significantly across thousands of units. Andel Plastics provides repeatable pad printing for high volume plastic components from our Birmingham facility, using custom jigs and fixtures engineered to hold their positioning accurately across extended production runs rather than only for a short trial batch. Steel etched printing plates suit higher volume work particularly well, standing up to sustained use without the wear that a nylon plate might show over a very long run. Single colour printing with RAL or Pantone colour matching keeps branding colour consistent from the first unit to the last, which matters more the longer a run continues. Vector artwork support ensures logo sharpness holds up across the full volume rather than degrading on later prints. For manufacturers producing plastic components at genuine volume, this focus on sustained repeatability is exactly what separates a dependable pad printing service from one that only performs well in a short trial.
