UV printing is a digital printing method that uses ultraviolet LED light to cure ink the instant it lands, so a full-colour graphic, with white ink beneath it on dark surfaces, prints directly onto a 3D-printed part or acrylic. Acrylic and 3D prints for now; more materials coming.

Vinyl stickers peel. Hand-painted logos look hand-painted. UV printing cures the graphic onto the surface, with no sticker edge to lift.

Substrates we print on

  • 3D-printed parts (PLA, PETG, ABS, resin)
  • Acrylic (clear, frosted, coloured)

Acrylic and 3D prints for now; more materials coming.

When to use vs. alternatives

  • Single piece, branded: UV print beats vinyl on durability and beats spray-stencil on fine detail.
  • Volume run, large flat areas: screen printing or pad printing usually cheaper per unit at high volumes.
  • Compound curved surfaces: UV doesn’t work well; airbrushing or pad printing is the move.

Send the artwork as PDF or SVG with fonts converted to outlines, or as a PNG or JPG with 300 DPI at print size. AI and EPS files are welcome over WhatsApp. We’ll quote within the same business day.

How we make it
  1. Artwork prep

    PDF or SVG with fonts outlined, or a PNG or JPG with 300 DPI at print size. We build the white underbase for dark substrates and flag anything that won't reproduce.

  2. Substrate setup

    Acrylic or 3D-printed parts. Surface cleaned, primed where needed, and held flat on the print bed for sharp registration.

  3. UV print pass

    Full CMYK + white ink laid directly onto the surface. Up to a little under A3 in one pass, with Pantone matching for brand-critical colour.

  4. UV cure

    Inline UV LED lamps cure the ink instantly, with no drying time and no smudging, durable enough for outdoor pieces with a clear coat.

  5. QC & pack

    Each print inspected for registration, colour match, and surface quality. Spot UV gloss varnish on request before pack.

Frequently asked

Can you print our company logo in full colour directly onto a 3D-printed part?

Yes, we print full CMYK plus white ink straight onto the part, where it cures onto the surface under UV light, so there is no sticker edge to peel. We handle PLA, PETG, ABS and resin prints, plus acrylic. Acrylic and 3D prints for now; more materials coming. The white ink layer means logos stay sharp even on dark or coloured substrates.

How much does UV printing cost per piece in Singapore?

UV print is priced by print area and colour coverage, and the starting prices are on our pricing page. That makes it cost-effective for single branded pieces and small personalised batches with no screen-print tooling to pay for. Send your artwork as PDF or SVG with fonts outlined, or as a PNG or JPG at 300 DPI (AI and EPS files over WhatsApp), and we quote within the same business day. Self-collect at our Bendemeer studio or islandwide courier.

Can you match our exact brand Pantone colour?

Yes, we do Pantone matching for brand-critical colour on the UV print pass. Our flatbed prints a little under A3 in one pass, with full CMYK plus white ink, and we can add spot UV gloss varnish on request. The ink cures instantly under inline UV LED lamps and is durable enough for outdoor pieces with a clear coat. Best results are on flat or gently curved surfaces.

Should I use UV printing or spray paint for a branded part?

Use UV printing for a single branded piece with fine detail like a logo or small text, where it beats vinyl on durability and beats spray-stencil on fine detail. Switch to airbrush for compound curved surfaces, since UV ink needs a flat or gently curved face to register sharply. For large flat areas at high volume, screen or pad printing is usually cheaper per unit. We print on acrylic and 3D prints for now; more materials coming.
