UV-DTF Stickers – The Innovative Solution for Durable and Vibrant Designs 🎨

UV-DTF (UV Direct-to-Film) stickers represent an advanced printing technology that allows for the creation of high-quality and durable stickers for various hard surfaces such as metal, ceramics, plastic, and treated wood. This method combines UV ink curing and direct-to-film printing, ensuring exceptional precision and vibrant colors when transferring designs.

How is the UV-DTF sticker made?

1️⃣ Design Preparation – Create a design in a graphic program with high resolution and correct dimensions.
2️⃣ Printing on Adhesive PET Film – The design is printed directly onto the adhesive PET film with a specialized UV printer, with the UV ink remaining on the adhesive.
3️⃣ Transfer to Surface – The film with the design is pressed onto the substrate with moderate pressure, without using heat.
4️⃣ Removal of PET Film – After the fixation time, the film is removed, leaving the design on the surface.

File Preparation for UV-DTF Printing

📌 Tip: You can arrange multiple different designs on one printing plate to optimize material usage.

For Which Surfaces Are UV-DTF Stickers Suitable?

✅ Excellent Durability:
✔️ Metal – strong adhesion and long lifespan.
✔️ Ceramics – suitable for decorative items like vases.
✔️ Plastic – good adhesion depending on the type of plastic.

⚠️ Limited Durability:
✔️ Wood – recommended only on lacquered or treated surfaces.
✔️ Glass – suitable for decorative items, not recommended for glasses or items going into the dishwasher – not durable for frequent washing or machine washing. Stickers do not stick to silicone either.

Advantages of UV-DTF Stickers 🔥

✅ Without Heat Use – easy transfer without heat presses.
✅ Instant Drying – UV technology allows for quick subsequent use.
✅ High Durability – resistant to scratches, wear, and fading.
✅ Photorealistic Quality – printing with exceptional details and vibrant colors.
✅ Eco-Friendliness – less waste and lower consumption of consumables.

✅ Flexibility and Agility – stickers can also be applied to places where UV print, pad printing, and screen printing “can’t reach”.

UV-DTF stickers are a perfect solution for promotional and decorative items, but they need to be used on appropriate surfaces for optimal durability! 🎨✨
