The printing process used for the transfer of 2-D image into 3-D image is called pad printing. Pad printing is done by the offset printing process. This process involves the transfer of image from printing plate to silicon pad. Printing on products on many industries including medical, sports, electronic and many more is done by pad printing. Etched image area makes the image of object within the ink film. Silicon pad basically enables the process of pad printing and this silicon pad is used to pick the image from the flat plane.

Pad printing is a new and effective way of printing of many objects. Pad printing has become more effective with the silicon pads and new machine constructions. The market of pad printing has really blossomed very much. Pad printing satisfied the needs of the market in a great way. This printing has given so many new ways of designing to the engineers and designers. Due to pad printing, products are becoming more attractive and beautiful. Now pad printing has become more popular. The pad printing has provided certain additional facilities to the printing.

Now pad printing is being taken on large scale and this printing is very useful in many ways of printing. Silicon has helped a lot to make the pad printing more effective. Now you can get far better results with the pad printing and now it is applicable in so many fields. The process of pad printing is not very complex. The ink is spread on the object and the pad. Due to this ink an etched image is formed and thus image is printed. Now most of the printing is done in the form of pad printing. There is plenty of technical advancement in the pad printing and there is much improvement in the printing of 2-D which is transferred to 3-D.
