End to end.
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.
