Does anyone know of a good paint process for pad printing / hot stamping PETE that will hold up to dishwasher use?
 
I'm guessing "no".

How about using mold inserts to carry the information you would stamp if it were possible?

I'd call tech support of a screen/pad printing ink company (we use Nazdar) they have some inks that will adhere to polyester/polyethylene...
 
Corona treatment is often required just prior to printing on plastics.
