Custom Print Pads

Made-to-order. Mold-replication available.

If the part needs a pad we do not stock, EPS will design and manufacture one. Our pad department has built one-of-a-kind pads for hundreds of customer applications — capable of delivering hundreds of thousands of imprints from a single custom pad.

  • Engineered for your specific part geometry
  • Hundreds of thousands of imprints per pad — production-grade durability
  • Mold-replication available — once you have a custom pad that works, we can build a mold so you can order identical replacements indefinitely
  • Approximately 7 business day cure cycle for new custom pads
  • Pad base thickness varies; not included in pad-height dimension

How to order a custom pad

To quote a custom pad, send us:

  1. Part geometry — a sample, CAD file, or detailed dimensional drawing of the surface being printed.
  2. Machine model — the pad-print machine the custom pad will run on (sets the maximum pad height).
  3. Artwork file — to confirm the printable area dimensions and aspect ratio.
  4. Required durometer — or describe the surface (irregular vs flat, fine detail vs broad coverage) and we will recommend.
  5. Expected cycle count — so we choose the right silicone formulation for durability.

Once approved, custom pads ship after the standard ~7 business day cure cycle.
