Technical Specifications for Custom Black Mugs

Pad printing is a print method that uses a silicone pad to transfer ink from an etched plate onto a product’s surface. It’s especially effective for printing on curved, uneven, or textured items where other methods may struggle. Commonly used for promotional products like pens, keyrings, and gadgets, pad printing is ideal for sharp, single-colour logos and designs.
