UV printed name tags offer speed, accuracy, and long-term value. Businesses that need fast, high-quality customization benefit from simplified production and professional results. From name badges and conference passes to ID cards and event tags, UV printing delivers consistent performance.
ColDesi’s UV solutions make it easy to add name badge production to your services or manage them in-house. The process is efficient, reliable, and cost-effective—ideal for growing operations across many industries.
UV printing is a digital process that uses ultraviolet light to instantly cure ink. The ink is applied directly to the material surface and cured on contact. This creates sharp, full-color images with no drying time.
ColDesi UV printers are designed for this level of precision. They print directly on acrylic, plastic, coated metals, wood, PVC, and more. This makes them an excellent choice for producing custom name badges on demand.
Why UV Printing Is Ideal for Name Badges
- PVC and plastic
- Acrylic
- Coated aluminum or metal
- Wood and bamboo
Return on Investment (ROI) with UV Printed Name Tags
Low Cost Per Unit
UV printing eliminates transfer sheets, lamination materials, or separate drying equipment. You print directly on the badge blank, reducing waste and material costs. The ink coverage per item is minimal, and curing is instant, which helps reduce overhead.
High Margins on Custom Products
UV printed name tags are typically sold at a premium—especially when they include full-color branding, logos, personalization, or special finishes. Businesses can charge more for short runs, event tags, or one-off customizations. Production costs are low, keeping margins high.
Fast Production Means More Output
UV's instant curing and the ability to print multiple badges in a single run allow operators to fulfill orders quickly. The faster turnaround opens the door to more jobs per day and faster delivery for clients, as well as increased revenue from rush or same-day services.
Expanded Business Opportunities
UV printed name tags are just one application. The same printer can create signs, promotional products, labels, packaging, and more maximizing the value of your equipment investment. This flexibility enables you to diversify offerings without purchasing additional machines.
Minimal Labor, Maximum Efficiency
Because UV printers automate most of the process, you can minimize labor costs. A single operator can manage badge production while handling design tasks or other print jobs.
