Printing pads

Product catalog summary
General Information
Teca-Print specializes in high-quality silicone printing pads, crucial for achieving excellent print results. These pads vary in quality, shape, and hardness, measured in Shore 00 Si, from 39 (very soft) to 68 (very hard). Selecting the appropriate pad involves considering surface quality, machine printing force, and print image size. Pads should be cleaned with adhesive tape, activated by de-oiling with ink thinner, and stored away from sunlight and other components.

Printing Pad Qualities
  • Standard: Versatile with good anti-static properties, available in various shapes and three hardness levels, recommended for general use.
  • MaxX: Provides the highest ink transfer, suitable for precise images, with excellent mechanical resistance and anti-static properties.
  • StarX: High-performance pads with short activation time, ideal for multi-color printing, and high resistance to mechanical abrasion.
  • BriX: Encapsulated oil makes them 'superdry', leaving no marks on glossy surfaces, with high tear resistance.
  • Dual: Combines two silicone types for special applications, perfect for fine-image transfer and watchmaker's ink.
  • Long-Life: Suitable for full-surface prints with good mechanical abrasion resistance.
  • FDA: Complies with FDA standards, suitable for medical and food industries, with high mechanical resistance.


Pad Shapes
Pad shapes are essential for optimal printing results. The OrbiX series features nature-inspired designs for even pad compression and improved print quality. Shapes include round, rectangular, and special pads, each tailored for specific applications.

Pad Holders
Pad holders are designed to securely mount the pads, typically using an M6 threaded pin for easy attachment.

Standard Our "Standard" silicone range of printing pads covers a very broad spectrum of applications. They are available in a large variety of shapes and three different hardnesses. universal application widest range of shapes excellent fine-image transfer very good resistance to mechanical abrasion Best transfer properties enable the printing of very fine detailed images. The silicone has a high level of resistance to mechanical abrasion and is therefore universal in application, even when used over a longer period the swell resistance is excellent. The good anti-static properties round off the...

OrbiX - inspired by nature The perfect pad shape Apart from the silicone that is used to make the pad, the shape is the decisive factor for optimal printing results. Nature provides the geometry to calculate the ideal pad shapes. The surface structures of the OrbiX printing pads are derived from shapes, similar to that of a parabola, which are often found in nature. This unique combination of experience and inspiration from nature provides the basis of design for the perfect printing pad. With all printing pads of the OrbiX series this formula has been applied to the surface structure. The special...

SPECIAL PADS Some applications place special demands to the printing pad. Different factors are responsible for this: e.g. the form of the to be printed part and the location for the print image. An uneven surface near the print image usually calls for a specially designed printing pad. Also the clustering of smaller pads to a pad combination can be useful. Pad printing equipment & supplies For the development of special pads printing trials must be done in close collaboration between the application engineers, the film office and the construction team. If none of the more than 2'000 available...
