SteriPack offers customised printing services for the final finish of your medical device or medical packaging product.
Hot Stamp Printing
Hot Stamp Printing can be used to create a highly detailed finish on relatively hard plastic surfaces. A tailor made heated die transfers the printing contents from a carbon ribbon and embosses this into the product surface. Small details can be printed with precision directly on the product surface and this offers a long lasting robust surface print which is resistant to abrasive contact. Hot Stamping is especially recommended for:
Precision printing (even with small details)
Long lasting print resistance to abrasive contact
Relatively hard plastic surfaces
Surfaces that can be exposed to heat
Suitable for short and long print runs
Pad printing
Pad printing is sometimes more commonly referred to as Tampo Printing and uses a silicone stamp to transfer the ink directly onto the product surface, which subsequently cures at room temperature. Pad Printing is most commonly used for:
Curved and complex shapes
Print content of relatively low precision
Multi-colour print
Soft surfaces where hot stamp printing cannot be applied
Surfaces which cannot be exposed to excessive heat
Suitable especially for longer print runs (small also possible)
