What do you want printed?
UV printing, boxes, labels, screen printing, foil, offset. Tell me what, and I'll point you to the UAE printer for it.
Sun Studio, Al Quoz, Dubai
A UV printing studio that prints straight onto the object itself, not onto a label, wrap or transfer film. Running since 2011.
- Glass, bottles, cans, acrylic, wood, metal, ceramic, stone, leather, fabric panels, food and finished walls
- No minimum order for studio UV work: one sample or a full production run
- 360° bottle and can printing on LSINC presses; panels up to 2.5 m wide on an IQDEMY belt flatbed
- Walls printed on site up to 4 m high, published at AED 950/m² excluding VAT
- Raised texture, tactile lettering and braille up to about 6 mm of relief
Disclosure: Sun Studio belongs to the same Dubai group as the publisher of Printing Experts.
What Sun Studio does not do, by its own account: garments and T-shirts, fabric by the roll, dye sublimation, fired ceramic frit for façades, glass cutting or toughening, and sign fabrication. For those, use the makers directory.
Who to call, job by job.
