Marabu Pad Printing Inks
Audio and Electrical Appliances
When decorating audio, as well as electrical and household appliances, high requirements for chemical stress resistance, elevated temperatures, and daily use clearly predominate.
There is every reason for pad printing: Printing of finest details, high resistances, a great variety of shades, metallic effects.

Bottle Caps
A real revolution in the bottle cap industry began with a simple twist, the twist-off plastic closure. From the beginning, this new system was predestinated both for opaque, as well as brilliant colour shades offered by pad printing especially onto plastics.
Almost all bottle caps are made of polyethylene and polypropylene. The printing speed can amount to several hundreds of thousands of caps per hour.

Office Equipment
When printing onto office equipment, not only functionality and durability but also design is of noticeable importance. Mostly, high-quality products for work places are concerned such as writing utensils, hole-punchers, casings for dispensers, correction tapes, and many more.
Typical substrates are ABS, SAN, PS, aluminium, steel, as well as glass, wood, and varnished surfaces - thus very different materials.
