Work That Needs Careful Hands
Pad printing is a small detail job that carries real responsibility. The work can involve artwork preparation, plate exposure, ink mixing, silicone pad setup, curing choices and checking each print for clean transfer on plastics, metals and coated parts. In a medical or electronics setting, a tiny mark out of place can cause rework, so we hire people who pay attention from the first sample through to the packed job.
Our team works from Westmead, Pinetown, serving Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria and Gqeberha.

How The Work Flows Day To Day
A typical day can move from sample checking to plate preparation, then on to production runs and dispatch packing. For medical and electronics work, the order matters. A clear artwork file, the right print area, good fixture making and the correct curing method all help produce markings that stay legible and neat on the component.
Our team works with local and national customers, so the pace changes depending on whether we are supporting Pinetown Printing Support, Durban Manufacturers, Johannesburg Supply or clients in Pretoria, Cape Town and Gqeberha. That variety keeps the work practical and hands on, not repetitive in the boring sense.
