PRINTING AND LASER MARKING

Perfect finish on silicone surfaces

Do you want the silicone surface of your components not only to fulfil the desired properties and functions, but also to look good? As design naturally plays a major role, we use a variety of processes to create high-quality visual surfaces.

Our portfolio ranges from pad printing to screen and digital printing to laser marking.

By using different technologies, we decorate your component according to your individual wishes. This is used, for example, in intelligent information interfaces. As a surface specialist, we always ensure a durable and precise result.

Pad printing

Pad printing is an indirect gravure printing process in which the printing ink is applied from the printing form to the surface to be printed using an elastic pad made of silicone rubber.

  • 3D geometries possible
  • For non-backlit symbols
  • Easy to use

Laser marking

Laser marking is used to remove colour from coated surfaces to reveal the underlying substrate. This allows us to create illuminated control elements in a day-night design, for example.

  • Customised and reliable production technology
  • From small to large quantities
  • Durable und visually high-quality labelling
  • Customised design options

Digital Printing

With digital printing, the print image is transferred directly from a file on a computer to the printer. This does not require a static printing form.

  • For multi-coloured prints
  • High diversity of variants
  • Flat plastic parts
  • Very high resistance even on silicone

Screen printing

In screen printing, the colour is pressed through a fine mesh. The open areas of the fabric allow the colour to pass through to the substrate, while the impermeable areas of the fabric serve to delimit the print motif.

  • 2D geometries possible
  • High contour sharpness
  • Large areas

Customised design options

Most customers expect a complete solution – from the tool to the moulded part to the printed or finished component in combination with other processes. This is precisely where our strength lies: as a complete solution provider, we offer you a result from a single source and guarantee the consistent quality of your components that can only be achieved in this way.

Depending on your requirements, combinations of the different processes for printing and laser marking your components are also possible.
