Manufacturing industry is blooming all over the motherland, and printing is required in basically all walks of life, such as packaging materials, products themselves, etc.Everything you see with the naked eye has no pattern on it.But how are these patterns and words printed?So for most of today's products, pad printing and screen printing are relatively mainstream, and the fast printing speed and low printing cost are the reasons why today's companies choose them.
So, what is the difference between pad printing and silk screen printing?First, let me show you the pictures of general pad printing machines and screen printing machines to get a preliminary understanding!
Flat screen printing machine
The picture above is a picture of a flat screen printing machine. You can see that there is a screen plate and a scraper in the middle.When the ink is poured on the stencil, it is scraped back and forth with a scraper, causing the ink on the stencil to flow down through the small holes in the stencil, and then printed on the product below the stencil.
Printing machine
The picture above shows a pad printing machine. The working principle of a pad printing machine is to apply ink through the rubber head of the pad printing machine in the picture above, and then stamp it on the product like a stamp.
Both pad printing machines and screen printing machines can print multiple colors, but the more colors there are, the higher the printing cost will be. At the same time, the larger the printing area, the higher the machine price will be!
So what products need to be printed with a pad printing machine, and what products need to be printed with a silk screen printing machine?
For products with a small area, there is actually no obvious difference. Both pad printing and silk screen printing are acceptable.But if the product is a regular product, for example, the printing surface is a plane or a regular curved surface (a regular curved surface, in a sense, is also a regular plane after being unfolded and paved), of course it is better to choose screen printing.If the product is irregular, you need to use pad printing.On the contrary, the pattern inside the bowl cannot be printed by screen printing, so pad printing is the only option.Relatively speaking, the area of silk screen printing is larger than the maximum printing area of pad printing!
