Plastics experts: Logo printing on plastic parts?

[Anonymous]

I have a part that I'm designing and I would like to propose to my customer
to have their logo printed on the part instead of what we've been doing to
date.

So far, we have been using a raised logo and hot stamping with a foil
transfer. I've seen multi-color logos printed directly onto plastic parts
in the past but I am not familiar with the process or capability.

I'm looking for a web site that can illustrate the process - or just a good
description.

Ron, are you talking roto or blow molded plastics? If so there are press on
to the tool transfers that are like labels. If this is what you need I can
look up where we get ours.

Pad printing can do a pretty good job even on curved surfaces. I don't know
of a web site, but a search for the term might hit some things.

We do mostly pad printing here, basically an inked stamp process. Some
other options are transfer print labels or adhesive labels. Another is a
thin film 2-part mold. That's where you insert a preprinted clear membrane
into the mold. Has the added bonus of being able to provide small winows
and membrane buttons to the part. Try GM Nameplate.

My company produces extruded plastics and we use a LINX 4800 printer for our printing, and it work in line with the extrusion process. not as a secondry operation.

The 2-part sounds expensive.

Silk screening and pad printing are the two techniques we use. Pad is necessary when the face being printed on are recessed. I'm not a silk screening expert but you can go to the local sweatshop that makes logos on t-shirts and see it in action, the process isn't much different than that.
