What Is Tampo Printing?
Tampo printing, also known as pad printing, or tamography, is a printing process that involves printing 2D images onto a three-dimensional object. The object that is going to be printed on to is normally called a substrate. This process allows for printing to be carried out on round or awkwardly shaped objects. Tampo printing can accommodate any shape, texture or angle, as it is carried out by a digitally controlled machine to ensure everything is printed precisely. It is also useful for inflexible or concave surfaces which may otherwise be difficult to design.

How Does It Work?
Pad printing uses a silicone pad with your required design, which then effectively stamps the image onto your required object. The digitally controlled tampo printing machine will hold the item in place and ensure accurate printing. The silicone pad will wrap around your three-dimensional object to ensure it prints correctly, adapting to the required shape of the material without disturbing the image. Tampo printing ensures the necessary level of colour and detail are maintained during the transfer to your object.

We understand that you want your project to go perfectly, and TBS Associates want to make sure it goes perfectly too. That’s why we provide you with a prototype design before sending your project to print, to ensure that you can see what your final design looks like.
