PrintAWorld UV prints logos, photos and full-color artwork directly onto rigid items you supply: metal cards, acrylic panels, wooden boxes, packaging, awards and product housings. At PrintAWorld a job is a $150–$250 setup (jig, proof and test, counted toward the job) plus $20–$30 per piece, from one piece to a few thousand; rush adds 50%. Typical turnaround is 2–3 weeks after artwork approval and item receipt, printed in Brooklyn and shipped anywhere in the U.S.
Anodized or brushed metal takes fine detail; we test ink adhesion on a spare first.
White ink behind the artwork keeps colors solid; the clear areas stay clear.
The grain shows through lighter areas, so we proof the artwork on your wood.
Client-supplied items printed in a jig, one setup for the whole run.
Curved or oversize items get a printed transfer we apply by hand.
Every new item is tested on a spare and approved by you before the run.
Each page has the prices, the rules and the questions for that item.

Branded techBranded power banksYour logo on power banks, chargers, cases and drives, printed from a jig.
Printed packagingCustom printed tinsLogos on the lids of tins, jars and boxes you supply, in runs of a few hundred.Business and NFC cards, plates, panels and faceplates in anodized, brushed or powder-coated metal. Adhesion depends on the coating, so we treat the surface and test on a spare. For a solid black mark on bare metal we may suggest laser engraving instead.
Display panels, photo pieces, awards and cards. We print white ink behind the artwork where you want solid color and leave the rest transparent; tell us which side is viewed, because a reverse print is mirrored.
Presentation boxes, plaques, cutouts and panels. Grain and finish show through lighter areas and change how the ink holds, so we proof on your wood before the run.
Power banks, housings, keycaps, packaging lids, mugs and other rigid items. Send photos with dimensions and mark where the artwork goes; we check whether it prints directly or needs a hand-applied transfer.
Not sure? Send a photo of the item and tell us what it’s made of and how it will be used. Fabric, flexible or very small items usually need a test first; we’ll say so in the quote.
Our Roland MO-240 flatbed prints full-color artwork and white ink directly onto your item. The bed is 24 × 18 in and takes items up to 8 in tall; the print area has to lie flat, and handles, rims or screws near it can block the head.
Machine limits are not a guarantee of fit. We also need to hold the item securely and check that the ink adheres to its surface.
When an item is round, curved, larger than the bed or has raised details, we print the artwork as a UV DTF transfer and apply it by hand. It is glossy, with a clear or white backing, and less durable than a direct print.
This is a finished-item service. We don’t sell standalone transfer rolls.
Jig, proof and test. It counts toward the job, and a reused jig sits at the low end.
For planning only. Item and print size, quantity, sides, artwork versions, surface preparation, white ink, handling and deadline set the final price. We don’t charge an hourly UV printing rate.
Ordering a small batch? Short runs are welcome. At PrintAWorld, smaller UV-printing orders typically have a higher production cost per piece because each batch requires dedicated machine time and handling. The setup fee is separate and is also spread across fewer items. Quantity can affect both parts of the price; a lower production rate is not automatic at a particular order size.
Want the details? Plan your UV printing budget walks through setup, per-piece pricing and what changes them.
Send a photo and the artwork and we’ll reply with a price. No payment to ask.
Bought the mugs, brushes or power banks already? We print your logo or guest names on client-supplied items for activations, events and PR mailers. Typical pricing is a $150–$250 setup plus $20–$30 per piece; rush adds 50%.
Photos of the actual item with the print area marked, its size, the artwork as a vector file at print size, the quantity and your date. The planner asks for exactly this.
We reply with a setup and a per-piece price and tell you whether it prints directly or as a transfer. Once the invoice is paid, we test on a spare and send you the result before the run.
Ship the items to the studio or drop them off by appointment. After the test is approved we print, inspect and repack them, then you pick up in Brooklyn or we ship them back.
Our clients rarely leave online reviews, so these are from the emails they sent us after their projects, quoted as written.
“Thanks again for your help! The mugs were a huge hit!”
“Thank you again for all your help with this project. It was a pleasure working with you and your team. Until the next one!”
We print in Brooklyn and ship to all 50 states; clients pay shipping both ways. In New York, drop off and pick up by appointment at the studio named in your quote, or send an Uber courier.

UV printing applies ink to a compatible surface and cures it with ultraviolet light during printing. PrintAWorld uses a Roland MO-240 flatbed printer for direct-to-object CMYK and white-ink printing. For approved objects that cannot safely fit or clear the print head, we can produce and hand-apply UV DTF transfers.
At PrintAWorld, UV printing has a $150–$250 setup that covers the jig, proof and test and counts toward the job, then $20–$30 per piece. Rush adds 50%. These are planning ranges, not fixed quotes: item size, print size, quantity, artwork variations, surface, placement and handling can change the price. Large, multi-side or full-wrap items are quoted per project. Reusing an existing jig or a proven setup from similar work keeps the setup at the low end of the range. Rush work is quoted after we review capacity and the in-hand date.
Yes, after review. Send item photos, dimensions, material or coating information, quantity, artwork, print placement, and your deadline. We may request spare pieces for testing. Wait for project approval and receiving instructions before shipping or dropping off anything.
Vector PDF, AI, EPS, or SVG is preferred for logos and line art. High-resolution PNG, TIFF, or PSD can work for photographs. Include the finished print size and placement, and identify any white-ink or transparent areas. If the file is not ready, you can still start the quote and send it later.
We can review both. Send artwork for each side or design, its placement, and the quantity for each version. Extra print positions, artwork changes, and handling can affect setup and per-piece pricing. We’ll confirm what is possible for your item in the quote.
Typical production takes 2–3 weeks after artwork approval and receipt of your items. Testing, proof changes, and shipping can add time. Rush work depends on the item, complexity, and available capacity; rush adds 50% and the invoice is paid up front.
Yes. We print logos and names on client-supplied items for activations and PR mailers, like a full-color logo on 96 ceramic mugs overnight. Typical pricing is a $150–$250 setup plus $20–$30 per piece, and rush adds 50%. Send 2–3 spares so we can test first.
Yes, if the printed face lies flat and fits our 24 × 18 in bed; the item can be up to 8 in tall. Anodized, brushed, powder-coated and bare metal all take UV ink after surface treatment, and we test on a spare first. A piece larger than the bed, like a 22 in gong, gets a hand-applied UV transfer instead. For a solid black logo on bare metal we usually suggest laser engraving, which is permanent and shows the metal itself.
Yes, on the lid or any flat face: a logo or full-color artwork, with white ink behind it so colors stay solid on bare metal. We print runs of 100 to a few thousand on tins you supply, with a test on a spare before the run. We can’t print all the way around a tin without a seam, so for a full wrap use factory-printed tins or a colored blank with a printed lid.
Yes, $200 per job. That is the setup for a one-off piece plus its print, or the setup spread across a small batch. There is no maximum: we have printed single awards and runs of several thousand pieces.
Mugs, tumblers and bottles are round, so we don’t print on them directly. We print your logo as a UV transfer and apply it by hand, which is what we did for 96 ceramic mugs overnight, or laser engrave stainless tumblers for a permanent mark. We recommend hand-washing decorated drinkware.
Durability depends on the material, coating, preparation, ink adhesion, and how the item will be used. Tell us about rubbing, cleaning products, moisture, flexing, or outdoor exposure. Testing may be needed; neither direct UV printing nor UV DTF comes with a universal lifespan guarantee. For items that are washed or cleaned often we usually suggest laser engraving.
No. Our UV DTF service includes producing and hand-applying the transfer to approved items. We use it when an object’s size or geometry makes direct printing unsuitable, including features that would block the print head.
Approved projects can use appointment-based pickup and drop-off at 616 Berriman Street in Brooklyn, or shipping within the United States. Clients pay for shipping both ways, separately from printing. We don’t dropship.
You don’t need to know the process. The planner asks what we need, we reply with a setup and a per-piece price, and we test on a spare before the run. Please don’t send items until we reply.
