Specialty UV FAQ

Questions Decorators Ask

What are Specialty UV transfers?
Specialty UV transfers are raised, dimensionally cured UV-printed decoration components produced for professional decorators. The category covers raised UV patches, dimensional UV graphics, leatherette patches, luxury branding transfers, hard-good branding components, and the UV-rewritten Fauxbroidery line. All are produced in-house on a UV LED cure system and priced by the square inch.
Do Specialty UV products require digitizing?
No. There is no digitizing step, no thread file, and no mold tooling. Upload a print-ready file (PNG, PDF, AI, EPS, or SVG) at 300 DPI in sRGB and we print directly. This is the entire value of UV-based dimension. You skip the embroidery digitizing workflow and the rubber patch tooling costs.
Can Specialty UV products be applied to fabric?
Yes for the patch and transfer formats. Raised UV patches, leatherette patches, luxury branding transfers, and fauxbroidery all apply to apparel with a standard heat press. Dimensional UV graphics and hard-good branding components are formatted for rigid substrates like tumblers, leather panels, and assembled goods. Check the substrate compatibility matrix for line-by-line guidance.
What is the difference between raised UV and dimensional UV?
Raised UV refers to layered acrylate cure that builds 0.5mm to 0.8mm of tactile height for an embroidery-grade feel, used in patches and luxury branding. Dimensional UV graphics use the same cure process but in a large-format flat-relief output optimized for drinkware, leather panels, and rigid substrates where the dimension serves a tactile branding goal rather than a patch silhouette.
Is there a minimum order on Specialty UV products?
Most specialty UV lines carry a low 10-unit minimum to cover production setup. There are no digitizing fees, no tooling fees, and no volume tiers above the minimum. Per-square-inch pricing stays flat from order one to order one thousand.
How do I order a Specialty Specimen Kit?
Add the Specialty Specimen Kit to your cart at $19. You receive labeled physical samples of every specialty UV line with a printed spec sheet. The $19 credits back toward your first specialty UV order of $75 or more, so the kit effectively prices in.
What turnaround time can I expect for Specialty UV?
Standard turnaround on specialty UV is 24 to 48 hours for production after artwork approval. Large or first-time runs may add a half-day for press setup and proofing. Rush options are available. Call production at 631.458.3842 to confirm timing on a specific job.
Are Specialty UV products washable?
Raised UV patches, leatherette patches, luxury branding transfers, and fauxbroidery are wash-durable when applied correctly with a heat press. Recommended care is inside-out, cold water, tumble low, no bleach or fabric softener. Independent wash testing on apparel-grade UV lines holds bond integrity through 40-plus industrial wash cycles.
