Automotive segment is one of the most important segments for
pad printing. Both, the four wheeler and two wheeler segments using Marabu Printing Inks and Non toxic Inks, are
one of the fastest growing segment in our customer database. The
quality parameters of the automotive segment are very stringent and
their requirement for printing involves mechanical tests, stringent
weather tests and petrol test. They also require high opaque shades
and opaque printing with smudge free prints. These requirements are
well met by us due to our almost two decades experience in this
field. With the combination of inks that we provide from world
renowned Marabu Inks and our experience in manufacturing pad
printing machines, we also offer our expertise to make the prints
trouble free and achieve the high resistance levels as demanded by
this field. Typical substrates are especially ABS, polyamide, nylon,
painted surfaces, rubber and metals. The printing is mostly on dark
colored substrates (specially black) with mostly white ink
impression being made on it. For opacity either we make use of
special opaque inks or if that is not enough we integrate our
machines to give you double impressions to achieve the opaque
effect.
Few examples of printing in automotive segment are radiator caps,
hose pipe, brake linings, clutch plates, various components in the
cluster, pointers of speedometer, various indication markings on the

Consumer Electronics segment is ruled by the MNC's and their
environment demands clean room, less or no man handling, clear precise
printing and normally on-two colors printing which may maximum extend to
3-4 colors sometimes. Most of the products are injection moulded and are
manufactured at the vendor/ injection moulder's place.Their parent
companies normally demand to have it printed at the moulder itself to
avoid separate transportation cost, man handling and to maintain
quality. Though traditionally customers were using screen printing,
today they realise the importance of quality printing which can be
achieved using pad printing and the other advantages such as printing on
round, convex or irregular shapes. The other benefit is of printing
multicolors just by loading once on a pad printing system, which is not
easy on a screen printing equipment as their the ink needs to dry and
cure before the second color can be applied. Here in pad printing we
supply you with solvent ink systems which dry immediately and you can
print multi colors on it.
Products like Television, audio equipments, home theatre systems,
speakers, audio equipments, lcs, plasma, laptop, computers, CPU,
printers, UPS, inverters, stabilizers, Cd /DVD/MP3 players, cable
modems, router etc are some of the few applications where pad printing
can create wonders for this segment. As normally the products are large,
standard pad printing systems need to be devised in and around the
product to print such products. Many times where printing is required in
more than one colors i.e say for example 2 colors and maybe two
different positions on the same plane, we supply machine with two color
pad printing using individual pad cylinder systems. We even have on
offer our most trusted and most coveted machine, a CNC based system with
linear screw shuttle movement for as many colors as required that can
print basically on any position on a single plane just by loading the
product once on the system. Worldwide this is the trend. This saves the
time wasted on multiple loading for printing different images and also
gives you good output in less time. Watching it run is a marvel!
All these systems are equipped with systems designed to provide very
accurate registration and crispy printing
Such customers also demand special custom shades, normally pantone
shades. We provide them the shade they require using our color mix and
matching system. So what you get from us is a great variety of shades
and metallic effects!

Cosmetics and Personal Care is a multi billion dollar industry
with many big players as well as small scale industries serving the
segment. This industry deals with body care and beauty. So, the
packaging has a great deal to do with exciting and attractive graphics
which really capture the onlookers eye and he is prompted to buy it and
pick it off the shelf not by its contents but by the attractive and
trendy eye catching graphics and packaging. Here too pad printing is the
answer for single to multi color printing. Pad Printing enables to print
and deliver quality similar to label. For transparent or dark colored
bottles or components, it is recommended to first print base coat white
and then other colors to get a rich bold opaque feel.
Most of the material used in this segment is PP/HDPE/LDPE which has low
surface tension that doesn't aid in proper ink adhesion as the inks
surface tension is higher. We need to use online/ offline gas flame
treatment or carona system to increase the surface tension of the
material and therby get better adhesion. We take care for small details.
For Bottles, we use an air inflation system which fills the bottle with
air just prior to printing to avoid the pressure of the pad damaging the
bottle when the pad touches the bottle. Also it aids in quality printing
.
Products like shampoos, conditioner, creams, baby powder, fairness
creams, body lotions, herbal solutions, lipstick and nail polish tubes,
compact powder, cold creams, deodorants, hair lotions, baby oil, edible
oil, hair creams, kajal etc are packed in bottles, containers, jars and
need printing on it or on the lids. Pad Printing is a cost effective
solution to create a quality eye catching impact.
