    Plate Materials & Key Advantages 01 Aluminum Plate (Cliché) 0.01 mm LINE WIDTH   WINNEO pad printing aluminum plates are manufactured using an anodizing process. The anodized layer is uniform and dense, significantly improving resistance to solvent corrosion and oxidation while effectively extending the service life of the printing plate. Thanks to the material’s excellent thermal conductivity, heat dissipates rapidly during laser engraving. This thoroughly prevents thermal deformation and burr formation along the engraved edges, helping the doctor blade remove excess ink more cleanly. Combined with micron-level engraving accuracy, the minimum line width can reach 0.01 mm, allowing tiny text and complex lines to be reproduced accurately so that every pad print remains clear, crisp and sharp. 02 Thin Steel Plate SANDVIK STEEL   WINNEO pad printing thin steel plates are made from premium Swedish Sandvik steel. The material offers stable hardness together with a flat and smooth surface, providing excellent rust resistance and scratch resistance throughout the printing process. 03 Thick Steel Plate HRC 63 ± 1   WINNEO pad printing thick steel plates undergo a precision heat-treatment process, achieving a surface hardness of HRC 63 ± 1. This not only allows the laser to etch the plate efficiently but also gives the plate an ultra-long printing life of more than 100,000 impressions after it is installed on the printing machine.
