Plates

A cliché is made by etching an image into the plate by exposing ultraviolet light to it's surface. The cliché's surface is made with either a polymer coating with a metal backing or of hardened steel. Once placed on the pad printer, the cliché is inked by sliding the sealed inkcup across the etched image. The ink is deposited within the etched area and then transferred to the substrate by the silicone pads.

We have several types of plates listed below for different applications and production runs. 
Note: Cost of plates includes hole punching. Quantity discounts are available. Average turn-around of
24 hours on receipt of artwork.
