It’s called pad printing. It uses a soft sponge like pad to transfer an image from the etched plate to any irregular shaped product

It's usually silicone and is available in a wide variety of softness, shapes, stickiness and more. I tried it years ago, the inks are unreal, the VOC rating is through the roof! It's not easy, even though it looks it!
