Pad printing made simple.
FormPAD is designed for precise, repeatable prints on housings, front panels, technical parts, promotional items and prototypes — compact enough for a workbench, yet far more professional than a DIY solution.
Applications
Precise prints on different shapes
From flat dials to curved surfaces: pad printing is ideal when small parts need clean and repeatable markings.
Prototypes & labs
Fast marking of small batches without a large industrial system.
Promotional & technical parts
Repeatable printing on small complex parts and products.
