Industries Served

When your product is finally ready to meet the world, every little detail matters, especially how it looks. 

That’s where we come in.

Universal Promo Inc. specializes in custom pad printing services that help businesses across a wide range of industries turn plain products into polished, professional, and long-lasting items. Whether you’re just launching a product or you’re managing thousands of SKUs, we make sure your logo, branding, or technical markings look sharp and stay put.

From high-tech gadgets to beauty products, surgical tools to fitness gear, we print on it all. Below is a look at the types of industries we serve and how our services make an impact.

Clarity and compliance, non-negotiable in healthcare

If you’re in the medical space, you already know that accuracy and durability aren’t optional–they’re critical. We support medical and life sciences companies with dependable medical device pad printing solutions.

Our cleanroom-compatible printing methods and ISO 9001:2015 -certified processes meet stringent regulatory requirements, which makes us a trusted partner in this space.

We print on:

  • Surgical instruments
  • Diagnostic kits
  • Catheters and tubing
  • Monitors and wearable sensors
  • Medical packaging and containers

We use biocompatible, sterilization-resistant inks for all medical device printing. Whether it’s barcodes, logos, calibration marks, or UDI info, we ensure every mark is readable, durable, and compliant.

Sharp branding that holds up to tech wear and tear

For tech products, branding needs to look sleek, modern, and perfectly aligned, especially on small surfaces or curved components. Our custom pad printing services are ideal for electronics, where consistency and precision are key.

We print on:

  • Phone chargers and docks
  • Smartwatch bands
  • Earbuds and cases
  • Portable speakers
  • USB and HDMI accessories

We use wear-resistant inks that can survive oils, heat, and friction. If your product is always in someone’s hand, bag, or pocket, we’ll make sure your print still looks perfect after heavy use.

Packaging that pops on shelves and social feeds

In the beauty industry, first impressions sell. Whether you’re launching a skincare line or a seasonal makeup collection, we help your products look elevated and on-brand.

We specialize in printing on:

  • Lip balm tubes
  • Compact cases
  • Serum bottles
  • Cream jars
  • Applicators and caps

No matter your packaging material, glass, acrylic, plastic–we apply clean, consistent decoration that complements your branding.

Printing that performs in the real world

Industrial products need labeling that won’t fade, scratch off, or disappear under pressure. We help manufacturers across many sectors apply rugged, high-visibility markings.

We print on:

  • Tools and hand grips
  • Electrical enclosures
  • Panels and housings
  • Valves and mechanical parts

Our pad printing process uses industrial-grade inks that resist abrasion, UV rays, and harsh chemicals. Safety warnings, directional indicators, and usage instructions stay readable, even in rough conditions.

Merch that leaves an impression

Branded giveaways and promotional items are a big part of any marketing push. We’ve worked with businesses of all sizes to create products that feel polished and carry the brand effectively.

We print on:

  • Drinkware and tumblers
  • Phone grips and stands
  • Office supplies
  • Event giveaways
  • Trade show kits

Our high-speed pad printing can handle large runs with consistent quality.

Tough prints for rugged gear

Outdoor products need durable prints that don’t peel off in the sun or fade from sweat and moisture. We print logos and info on gear meant to move, from gym to trail to track.

Examples:

  • Water bottles and shakers
  • Resistance bands
  • Headlamps
  • Camping gear
  • Fitness trackers

No matter the texture or material, we’ve got the expertise to make sure your print stays put.

Safe, colorful, and kid-friendly prints

For toys, games, and school supplies, safety is just as important as fun. We use child-safe, non-toxic inks that meet ASTM and CPSIA compliance standards.

We regularly print on:

  • Learning tools
  • Art kits
  • Educational games
  • Sensory toys

Bright colors and detailed designs make your products engaging, while safe ink ensures parents and educators have peace of mind.

Compliant prints on reusable and promotional containers

From branded protein shakers to spice jars and reusable cutlery, we help food and drink brands apply clean, compliant designs to packaging and accessories.

We print on:

  • BPA-free containers
  • Silicone lids
  • Glass jars
  • Cups and mugs
  • Measuring tools

All food-contact printing jobs use inks selected for durability and compliance with FDA or EU food safety guidelines, depending on your market.

Pet branding that holds up to real use

Pet owners love products that combine durability and style. We help pet product brands print on feeding tools, grooming gear, and fun toys, all built to survive tail-wagging chaos.

We work with:

  • Grooming brushes
  • Travel bowls
  • Treat jars
  • Chew toys
  • Collar accessories

Whether it’s soft-touch plastic or hard-wearing silicone, we help you add branding that’s built to last.

Scalable decoration from prototype to launch

Starting small doesn’t mean printing has to look small-time. We work closely with new brands to help turn ideas into full-blown product lines, offering flexibility for short runs, test batches, and market trials.

We help with:

  • DTC packaging
  • Product sampling
  • Branding consistency
  • Small-batch production

As your brand grows, we’re ready to scale with you. Same attention to detail, just on a bigger stage.

Eco-friendly printing for low-impact products

If your product is built for sustainability, your printing should be too. We offer low-VOC and eco-conscious ink options designed for biodegradable and recycled materials.

We print on:

  • Recycled PET
  • Compostable plastics
  • Bamboo accessories
  • Glass and aluminum containers

We help align your printing choices with your environmental commitments without sacrificing quality or visual appeal.

What is Pad Printing, Anyway?

Pad printing is a technique that uses a silicone pad to transfer ink from an etched plate onto a surface. It’s ideal for small, detailed designs, even on curved or textured surfaces. Unlike screen printing, pad printing works great on hard-to-print shapes and materials.

Perfect for:

  • Logos and fine detail
  • Text on tiny objects
  • Multi-surface parts
  • Quick, consistent decoration
