Tagless Plates/Cliche

The results of the pad printing on the fabric areessentially determined by the use of the cliche plate. The cliches/ pad printing plates are hardened steel plates on which the design/logo  to be printed is  etched by laser engraving process. The sharpness of the design on the fabric depends on the depth of  etching on the plate. Therefore precision lasers are used for this process for the following obvious reasons. We manufacture our own laser engraved plates.

  • very sharp etching due to very small size of the beam diameter in a laser
  • Highest durability for long runs where eliminating machine downtime to change the cliche can make a substantial difference in production efficiency.
  • Improves efficiency as it drastically reduces the plate making time
  • Standardize the pad printing process because there is no loss of resolution through this technology.
  • Change of design is very easy
  • Thick metal plates.
  • Laser engraved plates "what you see is what you engrave" ( WYSWYE)

Even a multicolor design is engraved on the plate with great precision and sharpness controlling the depth(18 to 35 microns) very easilywith the help of lasers. This ensures a clean and effective registration on the fabric with multiple colors.

We, at taglessprinting.com have a professional in house team of engineers to make cliche plates for our customers right from the artwork design to its etching and test printing stage.
