About this service

Built in-house.
End to end.

Why it matters Doing this in-house instead of outsourcing means tighter feedback loops, faster iteration and one accountable team from design to dispatch.

Our pad printing service handles decoration and branding on watch dials, cases, and other moulded parts. We operate multi-colour pad printing machines capable of printing up to 4 colours in a single setup with tight registration. The process works on flat, curved, and irregular surfaces, making it ideal for the complex geometries found in watch components.

Pad printing puts logos, indices and graphics on parts that flat printing cannot reach — curved dials, concave cases and irregular moulded surfaces. Our pad printing jobwork in Greater Noida serves watch brands and industrial customers across Delhi NCR, running multi-station presses that print up to four colours in a single pass with ±0.1 mm registration.

We prepare clichés from your artwork, match inks to a Pantone or physical sample, design a fixture to hold your part, and cure with UV or heat. Every printed piece is checked under controlled light for adhesion, registration and colour before packing. Runs start at 500 pieces and scale past 100,000 — most customers combine printing with parts we already mould for them.

Frequently asked

Pad Printing Jobwork — common questions

What buyers ask before starting a project: scope, tolerances, tooling, cost and turnaround.

Question not answered here? Send your drawing or a description and we will reply with a specific answer, not a brochure.

Ask a question

Which surfaces can you print on?

Moulded plastic, metals, glass and painted surfaces. The substrate is pre-treated with corona, flame or primer wherever ink adhesion demands it — skipping that step is the usual cause of print that lifts later.

How many colours can you print in one pass?

Up to four colours wet-on-wet in a single pass, at ±0.1 mm registration. More colours are possible across multiple runs; we design the job sheet around registration stability rather than speed.

What is the minimum print batch size?

From 500 pieces per run. Setup amortises quickly, and most customers combine printing with parts we already mould for them, which removes a shipping leg and a handling step.

Do you offer UV or solvent-resistant inks?

Yes, on request — and they are standard on dials, watch cases and outdoor-facing components where the print has to survive sunlight, sweat and cleaning.

What does pad printing job work cost?

Cost is driven by colour count and fixture complexity as much as by quantity. A single-colour logo on a flat face and a four-colour dial with fine indices are different jobs even at the same batch size.

Send the artwork and a sample part for an accurate price; turnaround is 5–10 working days.

What artwork do you need, and in what format?

Vector artwork — AI, EPS, PDF or SVG with fonts outlined. High-resolution raster art can work, but fine indices and small text reproduce noticeably better from vector.

Include the Pantone references with the artwork rather than describing colours by name.

Can you print on parts we send you?

Yes — that is what job work means here. Send your moulded parts, dials, bezels or cases and we print, inspect and return them. We build the fixtures needed to hold your part in register as part of the setup.

How do you check print quality across a batch?

Every batch starts with a first-article check against the approved sample for colour, position and registration, then 100% visual inspection through the run for smudging, pinholes and misregistration.

Records can be supplied with the consignment if you ask at quote stage. See quality.
