FAQ

UV printing questions, answered.

From compatible materials to artwork and product shapes, here's what to know before starting a UV printing project.

01

What is UV printing?

UV printing is a direct-to-object printing method that uses UV light to cure specially formulated ink as it is printed onto compatible surfaces.

02

What products can you UV print?

UV printing can be used on many compatible hard goods, promotional products, signs, displays, awards and specialty items. Compatibility depends on the product's material, coating, shape, size and intended use.

03

What materials can UV printing be used on?

Depending on the specific product and surface, UV printing may be suitable for materials such as acrylic, certain plastics, wood, coated metals, glass and other rigid surfaces. We review the actual product before confirming compatibility.

04

Can you print white ink?

Yes. White ink can be used as part of the print setup to help artwork remain visible on compatible dark, coloured or transparent surfaces.

05

Can UV printing reproduce full-colour artwork?

Yes. UV printing is well suited to detailed full-colour graphics, logos, gradients and other artwork that would be difficult to reproduce using simpler single-colour decoration methods.

06

Can you UV print curved or cylindrical products?

Some curved or cylindrical products may be possible depending on their dimensions, shape and the available production setup. Send us the product details so we can confirm whether it can be printed.

07

Can UV printing be used on drinkware?

Some compatible drinkware and hard-surface products may be suitable for UV printing. Product shape, surface coating, intended use and print location all need to be reviewed before production.

08

Is UV printing durable?

Durability depends on the material, surface preparation, product use and exposure conditions. We'll review the application and recommend UV printing only when it is appropriate for the project.

09

Can every hard surface be UV printed?

No. Surface material, coatings, texture, shape and adhesion can all affect whether a product is suitable. Some items may require testing, preparation or a different decoration method.

10

Can you personalize each product with a different name?

Yes, variable personalization may be possible for suitable projects, including individual names, numbers or artwork changes between products.

11

Is there a minimum order?

Order requirements can depend on the product and project. Contact us with the item, artwork and quantity and we'll confirm the available production options.

12

Can I supply my own products?

Potentially. Contact us before supplying products so we can review the material, dimensions, coating and print area. Customer-supplied items must be approved before production.

13

What artwork should I send?

Vector artwork such as AI, EPS, SVG or PDF is preferred for logos and graphics. High-resolution PNG or other raster artwork can also be reviewed depending on the design.

14

How do I know if UV printing is right for my project?

Send us the product, artwork, quantity and intended use. We'll review the application and help determine whether UV printing or another decoration method is the better fit.
