Ordering Padflex Printing Pads

1. Choose SIze and Shape

Pads come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some of the standard shapes are represented below. Generally, the pad with the steepest angle, the hardest durometer, and the greatest mass will generate the best print quality. The pad should be at least 20-30% larger than maximum image size required. Pad recommendations are readily available from our Technical Service Department; send the image size and location and sample of the substrate.
