Aluminum Cliché Plate | Laser‑Engraved Anodized Pad Printing Plate

Aluminum Cliché Plate (Pad‑Printing Aluminium Cliché)

Aluminum cliché plate is a popular intaglio template for tampo pad printing. Made from hard‑anodized aluminum blank, graphic/logo/text is engraved by fiber laser into anodized layer. Ink stays inside engraved cavities; doctor blade wipes surface ink; silicone pad transfers image onto plastic, metal, cosmetic, electronic and promotional goods.
