Is single color pad printing right for my project?
This may be the most cost-effective and best option for your printing project if:
- Your image size is 5" diameter or smaller for standard sealed cup pad printing.
- Your image size is approximately 2” tall x 24” for our cup slide pad printers that allow us to pad print these wider images for projects not suitable for screen printing – such as the decorating area be near to a vertical wall or vertical obstruction.
- The decorating area is raised or recessed.
- The decorating area has complex curvature, concave, or convex.
- The decorating area is near a vertical wall or vertical obstruction.

Open Well Pad Printing
This single color, or one color, pad printing equipment represents older pad printing technology, but Open Well pad printers still have a place in today’s custom decorating facilities. For example, single color pad printing projects with multiple images on the same part are a good fit for our Open Well pad printers. The Open Well design allows for quicker changeovers than with Sealed Cup pad printers. The design of the machine allows our operators to change from image to image with little downtime. Less downtime equals savings to the customer, especially for high volume orders!
Sealed Cup Pad Printing
The Sealed Cup (sometimes referred to as closed cup) for single color or one-color pad printing design is newer pad printing technology where the ink is sealed in a cup, as the name suggests. Since the ink in these pad printers is sealed, it remains at the proper viscosity for a longer period of time. Therefore, the operator spends less time maintaining the ink, which results in higher output. Again, higher pad printing output equals savings to the customer, especially for larger quantity orders.
