DIGITAL PRINTING ON SILICONE

Digital printing on a flexible silicone surface

Photorealistic printing on flexible silicone surfaces. The flexibility and ductility of the component should not be impaired as much as possible.

After printing, the moulded part should be robust in use, scratch and abrasion resistant and resistant to chemicals, cleaning agents and water.

Your task

High-quality look and feel
Several colours in one printing process
Lot size 1
Processing of digital data such as photos, logos, texts and images
Robust in use, with mechanical abrasion resistance
Resistant to water and cleaning agents

Customised silicone solutions

Basic requirement for data:

Resolution of photos: at least 150 dpi (300 dpi in final format is best)
file format for logos and graphics: delivery as vector graphics if possible

Digital printing is the ideal way to print your silicone moulded parts individually down to a batch size of 1. The process enables full-surface printing in “true colour” quality and direct processing of digital artwork – there is no need to invest in printing plates, screens or pads.

After printing, we apply a highly abrasion-resistant and flexible protective coating to the silicone surface. On request, we can also integrate search and function lighting on the printed silicone surfaces.
