TAMPOPRINT
TAMPOPRINT – MACHINES – CONSUMABLES – LASER MARKING – AUTOMATIONS: 65 years ago, TAMPOPRINT modernized the printing industry. In order to make the transfer of ink to almost any curved or uneven materials and bodies even better, TAMPOPRINT developed the innovative idea of replacing the previously used gelatine pads, which were not very stable, with silicone pads and at the same time automating the process with suitable machines: the birth of industrial pad printing. This laid the foundation for even better printing results that could be reproduced at any time. Over the years, the original process has not only been further developed into a highly flexible system, but also supplemented with state-of-the-art technologies: with the introduction of laser technology and inkjet printing, TAMPOPRINT has expanded its range and set new standards. Today, TAMPOPRINT focuses on the optimum interaction of all processes and system components in the marking and plastic decoration process.
