UV print vs laser engraving
UV print for full-colour artwork on hard surfaces (pens, power banks, bottles). Laser engraving for permanent, monochrome, premium finish on metal, wood and leather.
When to choose UV print
UV print delivers full CMYK + white, perfect for full-colour logos, gradients, photos and complex artwork on flat or curved hard surfaces. MOQ from 50 pieces. Best for plastic pens, power banks, hard cases and aluminium bottles where colour matters.
When to choose laser engraving
Laser engraving cuts a permanent monochrome mark into the substrate — never fades, never peels. Premium perceived value on metal pens, anodised bottles, wood notebooks and leather wallets. Single-tone only (logo colour = substrate engrave colour). MOQ from 25 pieces.
