Printing on a typical donut shape is generally limited to "printing on the top surface" when using pad printing. However, by innovating with materials (such as those that serve the role of a stamp), we attempted to print "around the entire circumference." In the first process, we printed half, and in the second process, we printed the remaining half. We were able to print a full 360 degrees around the ring shape in two processes. As seen in the sample, if the pattern is such that the seams are hard to notice and the stretch is not concerning, it can be effective. 【Case Summary】 ■ Printed Item: Wooden Ring ■ Printing Method: Pad Printing ■ Result: We were able to print a full 360 degrees around the ring shape in two processes. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
