Which businesses are more profitable with UV printers? (Sharing practical experience)
In recent years, UV printers have become more and more popular. Many people have bought machines but don’t know what to do to make money. I have been doing UV printing for 5 years, stepped on many pits, and also found several directions that can really make money. Today I share it with you, hoping to help you avoid detours.
1. Personalized customization (suitable for small-scale entrepreneurship, high profit)
Why make money?
Now young people like unique things, such as customized mobile phone cases, key chains, and ornaments, which have low costs and high selling prices, and the profits can be multiplied several times.
What to do specifically?
Mobile phone case customization, cultural and creative peripherals: notebooks, card holders, acrylic hangers (commonly used in school and company activities), small household items: refrigerator magnets, coasters, photo frames (weddings and anniversaries are in great demand)
Who is suitable for it?
Personal entrepreneurship (can be done at home), online ordering, on-site customization, and picking up goods on the spot
2. Advertising industry (stable orders, suitable for long-term work)
Why make money?
All companies need advertisements – door heads, display racks, light boxes. UV printing is more durable and has better colors than traditional inkjet printing, so customers are willing to spend more money.
What do you do specifically?
Illuminated characters (acrylic + UV printing, 3 times more expensive than ordinary characters)
Soft film light boxes (must-have for shopping malls and store decoration)
Car stickers/reflective stickers (traffic police and logistics companies purchase all year round)
Who is suitable for this?
Advertising graphic store (increase UV business)
Cooperate with decoration companies (take orders with all materials and labor)
3. Building materials decoration (make money with large orders, suitable for those with resources)
Why make money?
Personalization is popular in decoration now, such as imitation marble tiles, art glass, and background walls. UV printing can be printed directly, which is cheaper than traditional crafts and has better effects.
What do you do specifically?
Imitation marble tiles, glass sliding door patterns (weddings, high-end hotel customization), 3D relief background walls (special for villas and clubs, with super high profits)
Who is suitable for this?
Building materials suppliers (add UV printing services)
Decoration companies (accepting orders from high-end customers)
4. Industrial products (bulk orders, stable profits)
Why make money?
Many factories need small batch customization, such as electronic product shells, car interiors, and home appliance panels. UV printing is more flexible than silk screen printing and easier to accept orders.
What to do specifically?
Bluetooth speaker shell (customized by internet celebrities), car center console decoration (hot in the modified car market), home appliance panels (personalized patterns of refrigerators and washing machines)
Who is suitable for this?
People with factory resources (accepting OEM orders)
Cooperate with dealers (provide customized services)
5. Packaging and printing (e-commerce explosion, high demand)
Why make money?
Now e-commerce competition is fierce, and packaging is face. UV-printed color boxes and gift boxes are more high-end than ordinary boxes, and the selling price can double.
What to do specifically?
Cosmetic packaging boxes (must-have for explosive products), luxury gift boxes (hot stamping + UV embossing, high premium), food/wine labels (small batch customization demand is large)
Who is suitable for this?
Packaging factory (add UV printing production line)
E-commerce seller (customize high-end packaging by yourself)
How to choose the direction that suits you best?
No experience, small business → do personalized customization first (mobile phone case, cultural and creative)
Have customer resources → accept advertising, building materials orders
Want to make stable money → do industrial products, packaging OEM
Suggestions:
First test on a small scale, such as buying a small UV flatbed machine, try to customize mobile phone cases.
Find hot products, such as the recently popular “fluid bear keychain”, and make money quickly.
Upgrade after accumulating customers, change to industrial-grade UV machines, and accept larger orders.
Summary: What is the most profitable thing for UV printers?
Short-term quick money → personalized customization (hot products)
Long-term stability → advertising + industrial products (order sustainability)
Super high profits → building materials + packaging (high-end market)
