Pad printing machines by microPrint
Since 1995, microPrint LC GmbH has been developing and producing pad printing machines in Switzerland, setting new standards and revolutionizing the pad printing process. Our experienced team works with passion and dedication to create innovative technologies that meet the high demands of our customers.
We offer a wide range of standard machines – from simple pneumatic pad printing machines to fully electric systems with freely programmable processes and precise control of tampon stroke speed. In addition, we design customized pad printing machines and implement automation solutions with integrated transport systems and pre- and post-treatment modules.
Depending on the application, our machines can be equipped with advanced features such as automatic ink dilution, customized part holders, rotary devices, cliché cooling, or laminar flow systems. The printing process can also be monitored with cameras, and printing positions can be automatically corrected to ensure maximum precision.
Our team of experts is always available to answer your questions about pad printing. We are happy to develop the entire printing process for you and produce sample parts exactly according to your specifications.

Camera Applications in Pad Printing
Camera systems in the industrial sector have made great advances thanks to AI and electric zoom. What tasks can they perform in pad printing, such as quality control or positioning?
Industry 4.0 in Pad Printing
Industry 4.0 marks the next stage of industrialization. How is it implemented in pad printing? What has already been achieved, and what’s planned for the future?
Ink transfer time
The color transfer time is the shortest interval from the moment of pickup to the complete color transfer by the pad and is the most important measurement parameter in pad printing.
Doctor Ring
Doctoring rings for ink cups vary in material and finish. Which ring suits which pad printing application, and how can it be maintained to extend its lifespan?

Medical technology
Pad printing in medical technology is usually carried out under cleanroom conditions. In addition to plastic components such as syringes, device housings, fixators, and microtiter plates, flexible stoma bags and catheters are also printed.
Automotive Industry
The automotive industry places various demands on pad printing with parts such as Isofix, fuel filler caps, engine covers, wheel rims and backlit dashboards. Error prevention is essential here.
Watches
The watch industry is the original sector of pad printing. Watch parts such as dials, complications and glass backs are finished with it. Precise machines are essential to guarantee high quality.
Plastic Industry
The printing of plastic parts is the main application of pad printing. The trend is moving towards direct printing at the injection molding machine, with part handling directly managed by the unloading robot.
