UV Printing for Custom Packaging
Print vivid, durable color on almost any surface with UV printing, where ink is cured instantly by ultraviolet light.
What is UV Printing?
About UV Printing
UV printing uses special inks that dry the moment they are exposed to UV light. Because the ink sits on the surface and cures instantly, colors stay sharp and bright, even on coated, metallic or non-porous materials.
The cured ink is highly resistant to scratches and fading, and UV printing can also build up a slightly raised, textured effect for added dimension.
Design tips
- UV printing is ideal when you need strong color on unusual stocks.
- Ask about raised UV effects to add texture without embossing dies.
- Use high-resolution artwork for crisp results.
- Great for short to medium runs with standout color.
