Preciteel Cliché/Plates is a brand under the Spinks World Group, specializing in pad printing, laser solutions, digital printing, screen printing, and more comprehensive printing solutions.

Preciteel offer precise pad printing plates (clichés) for pad printing machines and these plates are made with advanced laser etching for accurate, durable, and high-quality prints. Our in-house setup supports metal and polymer plates, including hardened steel, ensuring fast turnaround and excellent image transfer for all pad printing needs.

Our Standard Clichés Plates and Cylinder

Services

Spinks’ pad printing plates, also known as clichés/plates used in pad printing machines, are essential components of the pad printing process. They serve as the carrier for the image or design that is transferred onto the pad and then onto the substrate.

Material

Cliché/plates can be made from metal, polymer, or photopolymer. Material choice depends on required durability, print quality, and design complexity.

Etching Techniques

Created using chemical or laser etching for high precision and image clarity.

Design and Size

Custom-sized to match the specific artwork, ensuring accurate ink transfer and image reproduction.

Etching Depth

Precisely controlled to determine the ink volume picked up by the pad, critical for consistent printing.

Compatibility

Selected based on ink and substrate compatibility, considering factors like adhesion, chemical resistance, and coverage.

Longevity

High-quality cliché/plates for pad printing machines are built to endure frequent use while maintaining dimensional accuracy.

Maintenance and Storage

Proper cleaning, handling, and storage prolong cliché life and performance.

Choosing the right clichés is essential for high-quality output. Factors like substrate type, design complexity, and ink compatibility play a major role. Expert consultation can help select the most suitable plates for specific applications.

Laser-Made Plates/Clichés

The latest, fastest, and most sophisticated method for precise etching depth. Markolaser's laser machines are optimized for this process.

New Laser Etching – 10mm Steel Plates/Clichés

Only a few companies can produce hardened steel plates via laser. Markolaser’s advanced laser can engrave steel plates up to 65 HRC hardness within minutes. We support designs in vector formats (e.g., Adobe Illustrator AI) and can etch patches, characters, logos, and halftone images.

Feel free to send your designs for testing.

Cliché Plates Etching Services

Ans: We supply a complete range of industrial pad printing plates engineered for different run lengths and machine setups:
  • Thin Steel / Magnet Plates (0.25" mm" –0.5" mm" ): Ideal for high-precision, medium-to-long production runs (100,000+ impressions).
  • Preciteel Heavy-Duty Thick Steel Plates (10" mm" ): Built for extreme durability and multi-million impression industrial runs.
  • Rotary Cliché Cylinders: Seamless cylindrical rollers for 360^∘ high-speed continuous printing on closures, syringes, and cables.

Ans:
  • Choose Photopolymer plates if you have short-to-medium production runs (up to 20,000–50,000 impressions), require quick turnaround, or prefer processing plates in-house using UV exposure units.
  • Choose Steel / Magnet plates if you run automated high-speed production lines requiring extreme depth consistency, doctor ring wear resistance, and long-term reusability over hundreds of thousands of prints.

Ans: Yes. Our cliché plates are custom-cut and drilled to fit all major international and domestic pad printing machines (both closed ink cup and open inkwell systems), including brands like Tampoprint, Tosh, Kent, Teca-Print, Spinks’ EPIC, Auto-Pad, and MicroPrint.

Ans: Plate depth directly impacts ink opacity, print resolution, and doctor blade doctoring. Every custom order undergoes pre-press evaluation by our technicians, who calibrate the Microlaser depth based on your target substrate, ink viscosity, and artwork detail (e.g., fine micro-text vs. broad solid logos). Every etched plate is verified under microscopic inspection and test-printed prior to dispatch.

Ans: Yes. We supply raw, high-grade blank steel, magnetic, photopolymer, and ceramic-coated plates in standard or custom dimensions for customers operating their own fiber laser engravers or photopolymer exposure equipment.

Ans:
  • Cleaning: Wash the plate immediately after production using recommended pad printing solvents or alcohol-based cleaners with a soft lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the polished surface.
  • Storage: Apply a light layer of rust-preventative oil on steel plates, wrap them in protective paper, and store them flat in a dry, low-humidity environment away from magnetic fields.
