A new era of leather UV printing technology

The leather UV direct printing process is leading a revolution in the leather products industry with its unique advantages.

UV printing leather is a great innovation not only in production process, but also in speed and effect!

Giftec has newly developed leather-specific ink, combined with our digital printer, which can make the pattern firmly adhere to the leather surface, bringing bright colors, high resolution, wear resistance and strong weather resistance.

UV printing leather can bring unprecedented personalized customization experience

1、For customers’ different printing needs, the machine effect can be realized immediately. And there is no MOQ restriction, whether it is a small batch order or a large batch, UV printer can meet it;

2、Wide range of applications: PVC leather, cowhide, soft leather, synthetic leather, etc., not limited by leather shape and thickness, but it should be noted that genuine leather is temporarily not suitable for UV printing process;

3、High cost-effectiveness: less ink consumption, no need for complex pre-plate making and other preparations, with obvious cost advantages, and personalized needs are increasing with market demand, and the profit is considerable!

UV printing technology can not only achieve color printing, but also hot stamping/embossing/imitation embroidery and other processes.

1、UV color printing

UV color printing is a technology that uses leather-specific ink to print colors on the surface of products.

It can achieve high-resolution and rich color pattern printing, giving leather products a unique visual effect.

The characteristics of UV color printing are that it is one-time molding, without complicated post-processing, and the ink is quickly cured after ultraviolet irradiation, ensuring the durability, scratch resistance and waterproofness of the pattern

This process is suitable for various leather products, such as shoes, watch straps, rugby, etc., adding fashion and personality to the products.

2、UV+ hot stamping process

The hot stamping process is based on UV color printing, and the metal foil (gold foil, silver foil or laser foil) is hot stamped onto the leather surface through hot pressing technology to form a shiny metallic texture.

This process can enhance the luxury and visual impact of leather products, and is often used in high-end leather goods, gift packaging and decorations.

What needs to be paid attention to in the hot stamping process is the control of temperature to ensure the perfect transfer of the metal foil while avoiding damage to the leather.

3、UV embossing process

The embossing process uses UV printing technology to form an uneven three-dimensional effect on the leather surface.

This process uses the stacking of white ink and the printing of local varnish to make the pattern present a distinct three-dimensional sense on the leather.

The embossing process enhances the layering and three-dimensional sense of the pattern, making the product more distinctive and attractive.

This process is often used in high-end leather goods, home decorations and other fields, bringing unique visual effects and tactile experience to the product.

4、UV imitation embroidery process

The imitation embroidery process uses UV printing technology to realize the texture and effect of traditional embroidery on the product

This process uses the stacking and hollowing technology of ink to make the pattern on the leather surface form a concave and convex sense and realistic sense similar to embroidery, enhancing the three-dimensional sense and artistic sense of the product.

The imitation embroidery process is often used in high-end leather goods, household items, etc. to enhance the grade and added value of the product, giving it a unique sensory experience both visually and tactilely.

Leather UV color printing technology and its various printing effects have brought rich creativity and possibilities to the leather products industry.

Different printing effects can meet the needs of different products and improve product quality and added value.

With the continuous advancement and innovation of technology, leather UV color printing technology will have a wider application space and market prospects!
