Abstract: Pad printed golf balls comprising a plurality of partially overlapping pad printed areas. The pad printed areas can comprise a surface area occupying at least 20% of a total surface area of the golf ball and a pad printed image occupying a portion of the surface area. Two or more of the pad printed areas can partially overlap in an overlap area where a portion of both a first pad printed image and second pad printed image are located. In some embodiments, an overlap area can have an overlap surface area greater than or equal to 5% of the surface area for a pad printed area.
