Personalise with UV
As demand grows for more personalised and visually distinctive trophies and awards, digital UV printing is playing an increasingly important role alongside traditional engraving techniques. Rather than replacing engraving, UV printing is expanding what’s possible, allowing manufacturers to deliver detailed graphics, colour accuracy, and layered fi nishes directly onto rigid substrates such as acrylic, glass, metal, and wood.
Flatbed UV printing uses UV-curable inks that are instantly hardened under LED lamps, enabling precise ink placement and immediate handling. This makes it well-suited to award production, where short runs, tight deadlines, and mixed materials are common. The technology supports full-colour printing, white ink for opacity on transparent or dark surfaces, and multi-layer ink builds that can be used to create subtle textures or raised effects, adding depth and visual impact to trophies and plaques.
From a production perspective, durability is a key advantage. UV prints are resistant to scratching, fading, and moisture, ensuring awards retain their appearance even with frequent handling or long-term display. For trophy makers, this combination of durability and fl exibility allows for high-quality, made-to-order production without compromising turnaround times or fi nish quality. By integrating UV printing into their workfl ows, manufacturers using solutions from Roland DG are able to respond more easily to bespoke briefs, combining personalisation, branding, and premium presentation in a single, effi cient process.
