Common Questions
- Glass, ceramic, stainless steel, anodized aluminum, acrylic, polycarbonate, hard plastics, sealed wood, leather, leatherette, and most powder-coated surfaces. Avoid silicone, untreated polyethylene, polypropylene, and other low-surface-energy plastics without surface preparation.
- For most substrates, no. The UV ink and adhesive bond directly to clean, oil-free surfaces. Glass, metal, and ceramic typically need only an alcohol wipe before application. Powder-coated and matte-finished surfaces may benefit from a light scuff to improve mechanical key. Always test unfamiliar substrates.
- Both substrates produce excellent long-term bonds when applied correctly. Glass gives a slight edge in dishwasher durability due to its smoother surface energy. Metal performs better in environments with thermal cycling and outdoor exposure. Both hold up to 5-plus years of normal product use.
- Yes. Powder-coated metal and tumblers accept UV branding well. A light scuff with 800-grit paper before application improves mechanical key and extends bond life on heavily textured powder coats. Smooth powder coats can skip the scuff step.
- Yes for top-rack dishwasher use. The UV-cured acrylate is dishwasher-safe and the bond survives standard dishwasher cycles. For maximum bond longevity, hand washing is recommended. Repeated industrial dishwasher cycles over years will eventually degrade any adhesive bond.
- PNG with transparent background is preferred. PDF, AI, EPS, and SVG also work. Resolution should be 300 DPI at final component size. Minimum stroke weight is 1.5 pt. Minimum text height is 6 pt. The component silhouette is automatically extracted from the alpha channel.
