Turn your artwork into accessories that actually look like your artwork
Color is loud. Detail is fussy. Gradients are picky. UV printing was made for all of that.
Our Custom UV Printed products let you put full color, photo quality artwork on metal accessories such as belt buckles, cufflinks, pins, medals, keyrings, coins, tie bars, and more. If you can print it on paper, we can almost always bring it to life on metal.
The Process
What is UV Printing?
UV printing is a digital printing process where special inks are cured instantly with ultraviolet light. Instead of waiting for ink to dry, the UV lamps hit the surface as the ink is laid down, locking in sharp lines and rich color on the spot.
That means:
- Clean, crisp details
- Vivid, accurate colors
- Smooth gradients and shading
- Better durability against scratching and fading
Perfect for complex logos, mascots, photos, and illustration styles that are hard to translate into traditional enamel.
How UV printing changes what you can create
With enamel or die cast, you have to think in “zones.” Color needs metal borders. Lines must be thick enough. Small text can get lost. UV printing lets you relax those rules.
With UV printing you can:
- Use full color photos on medals, coins, and tags
- Print tiny text and intricate line work that stays readable
- Add soft gradients, shadows, and painterly effects
- Match brand colors more closely with CMYK control
- Create limited edition artwork without new molds for every variation
It is ideal for events, branded collections, fan merch, corporate gifts, and any project where the artwork itself is the star.
The best part: You can mix techniques
UV printing can be used on its own or combined with other customisation styles. Some of our favorite pieces mix techniques for extra depth and impact:
- Die cast medal with antique finish plus UV printed center artwork
- Soft enamel pin with UV printed highlights and textures on top
- Coin with raised metal logo and UV printed background scene
- Belt buckle with 3D border and UV printed full color image in the middle
Metal gives structure. Enamel adds texture. UV printing brings the artwork to life. All three can live on one piece if that is what your design calls for.
