3D UV Printing on Metal – The Ultimate Solution for Custom Award Medals

Introduction

In the competitive world of custom manufacturing, 3D UV printing on metal has revolutionized how brands create custom award medals and premium promotional products. Unlike traditional printing methods, this advanced technique delivers full-color, photo-quality designs directly onto metal surfaces, ensuring exceptional durability and visual impact.

At Triumph Gifts, with over 40 years of production expertise, we combine state-of-the-art printing technology with craftsmanship to produce medals and corporate gifts that make a lasting impression.

What is 3D UV Printing on Metal?

3D UV printing on metal is a process where ultraviolet light instantly cures ink applied to a metal surface, locking in vibrant color and intricate detail. It works on flat and slightly curved surfaces, making it perfect for medals, coins, plaques, and nameplates.

Key Features:

  • Supports CMYK full-color gradients

  • Captures photo-level details

  • Delivers fade-resistant, scratch-proof finishes

  • Works on a variety of metals including brass, copper, and stainless steel

Why Choose 3D UV Printing for Custom Award Medals?

1. Premium Color Quality

Traditional methods often limit you to solid colors. 3D UV printing on metal allows smooth color transitions and precise tones, ideal for photo-based medal designs and brand logos.

2. Ideal for Complex Branding

It can handle fine lines, small fonts, and intricate shapes without losing clarity—perfect for events and corporate awards where detail matters.

3. Long-Lasting Finish

UV-cured inks bond firmly to the metal surface, creating a durable, weather-resistant layer that keeps your medal’s colors vivid for years.

4. Faster Turnaround

No need for multiple color separations or lengthy drying times—production is faster without compromising quality.

Applications of 3D UV Printing on Metal

At Triumph Gifts, we’ve seen this method excel in multiple categories:

  • Custom Award Medals – Sports tournaments, corporate recognition, and academic achievements.

  • Commemorative Coins – Special editions for anniversaries, festivals, and collector series.
