Ceramic Fingerprint Ink Pad Why Brazil Still Uses Paper Fingerprints

Brazil votes electronically, yet some voters still leave fingerprints in paper registers. This flip-top ceramic ink pad was customized for the IMPRESS brand.

Brazil has widely adopted electronic voting machines and biometric technology, so why are traditional fingerprint ink pads still useful? According to Brazil's electoral regulations, voters who are unable to sign may leave a fingerprint in the paper voting register. The 2026 election regulations also include fingerprint ink pads among polling station supplies. With this need in mind, a Brazilian customer ordered a customized black, round, flip-top Ceramic Fingerprint Ink Pad from our company.

This product features a compact, circular black case with a smooth, glossy finish. The flip-top lid is connected to the base by a hinge, so it remains attached when opened. Inside is a slightly recessed, matte-black ceramic fingerprint collection surface surrounded by a raised circular rim. The simple structure makes it easy to open, use, and close, while its compact size allows for convenient storage and carrying. Using it is straightforward: simply touch a fingertip to the ceramic surface to pick up ink, then press it onto paper to leave a dark fingerprint impression with clearly visible ridge details. This makes it suitable for paper-based fingerprint recording in election-related procedures and other document registration applications.
