Safety Note
This product is not intended for use by children or pets. It may present a choking hazard to children under 3 years of age.
Decoration & Imprint
2 methods
Your logo or message is imprinted on the front and back of the basketball. Pad Print applies a thin, flat layer of ink that conforms to the curved surface, while Digital Print reproduces full-color artwork in one pass.
Pad PrintPMS1 color/location included · one-time setup $40.00 · Up to 4 colors
Pad printing (tampography) transfers ink from a silicone pad onto the item, flexing into curves, angles, and recessed areas flat application can't follow. The result is a thin, nearly flush ink layer with well-defined edges — each color prints as an opaque spot-ink solid, holding evenly on contoured or darker surfaces; cured ink resists everyday wear.
Digital Printone-time setup $60.00 · Full color
Digital printing sends artwork straight from file to the item — no plates or per-color screens — laying all colors down in a single pass. It carries photographs, gradients, drop shadows, and dense multi-color artwork at high resolution, reading as a flat image on the surface. A specific brand color is rendered as a close full-color process simulation rather than an exact spot ink, and on colored items the substrate shifts the appearance.

- What is pad printing and what does it look like?
- Pad printing (tampography) transfers ink from a silicone pad onto the item, so the pad flexes into curves, angles and recessed areas that a flat application cannot follow. The result is a thin, nearly flush ink layer with well-defined edges. Each color prints as an opaque spot-ink solid that holds evenly on contoured or darker surfaces, and the cured ink resists everyday wear. More about Pad Printed →
- When should I choose pad printing over screen printing?
- When the artwork has fine lines, small text or tight detail that must stay sharp on a contoured or uneven surface, such as a pen barrel or a curved drinkware wall. The conforming pad holds crisp edges where flat methods cannot reach. Pad printing suits fine detail better than flooding large areas, so for broad solid fills, photographs or gradients look at screen printing or a full-color process instead. More about Pad Printed →
- What is digital full-color printing?
- Digital printing sends the artwork straight from file to the item with no plates or per-color screens, laying every color down in a single pass. It carries photographs, gradients, drop shadows and dense multi-color artwork at high resolution, reading as a flat image on the surface, and holds fine detail and small type cleanly.
