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

UV-DTF (UV Direct-to-Film) stickers represent an advanced printing technology that enables the production 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 film printing, ensuring exceptional precision and vibrant colors when transferring designs.

How is the UV-DTF sticker production process?

1️⃣ Design Preparation – Create a design in graphic software with high resolution and correct dimensions.
2️⃣ Printing on adhesive PET film – The design is printed directly onto adhesive PET film using a specialized UV printer, where the UV ink stays 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 set time, the film is removed, leaving the design on the surface.

File Preparation for UV-DTF Printing

📌 Tip: You can arrange several different designs on one print sheet to optimize material usage.

What surfaces are UV-DTF stickers suitable for?

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

⚠️ Limited Durability:
✔️ Wood – recommended only on lacquered or treated surfaces.
✔️ Glass – suitable for decorative products, not recommended for glasses or items to be dishwashed – not durable for frequent washing or dishwasher use. Stickers also do not adhere to silicone.

Benefits of UV-DTF Stickers 🔥

✅ No Heat Usage – easy transfer without heat presses.
✅ Instant Drying – UV technology allows for quick further use.
✅ High Durability – resistant to scratches, wear, and fading.
✅ Photorealistic Quality – print with exceptional details and vibrant colors.
✅ Eco-Friendliness – less waste and reduced consumption of consumables.

✅ Flexibility and Agility – stickers can also be applied to areas where UV printing, pad printing, and screen printing “cannot reach”.

UV-DTF stickers are the perfect solution for promotional and decorative products, but they must be used on appropriate surfaces for optimal durability! 🎨✨
