UV 3D Label Printing: Technical Insights and Material Selection Guide
In the fast-evolving world of textile decoration and product labeling, UV 3D label printing is redefining how brands and custom studios bring designs to life. Hanrun Paper offers a complete UV 3D Label Printing Solution—integrating advanced UV flatbed printers, specially formulated UV 3D label inks, high-quality label films, and automated cutting machines—delivering sharp, vibrant, and textured labels with true three-dimensional effects.
Why UV 3D Labels?
UV label film is a print-on-demand (POD) material designed for small-batch, customized production. Unlike traditional methods such as screen printing, embroidery, or vinyl cutting, UV 3D label eliminates the need for molds, setup costs, and large-volume production.
- Simple workflow: Print → Cut → Heat press transfer
- Versatile applications: Suitable for brand logos, custom graphics, team badges, shoe and hat decorations
- Eye-catching effects: Vivid color and raised texture for premium visual appeal
This makes UV label films the perfect solution for fashion brands, garment decorators, and customization studios looking for efficiency without compromising quality.

Printer Selection
For UV 3D labels, UV flatbed printers are recommended. Unlike roll-to-roll UV printers, flatbed machines allow for stable multi-layer printing to build raised textures. Equipped with UV LED curing lamps, these printers instantly solidify ink through ultraviolet exposure, enabling precise stacking and sharp details.
Specialized UV 3D Label Ink
The choice of ink is critical. Standard hard UV inks are too brittle—while they can hold texture, they crack or detach when applied to fabrics. On the other hand, overly soft UV inks may collapse under heat press, flattening the raised effect.
Hanrun Paper’s UV 3D Label Ink is specially developed to balance flexibility and durability:
- Bright, vivid colors with excellent reproduction
- Pure white ink with strong opacity for clear layering
- Capable of achieving millimeter-level height for strong 3D effects
- Flexible texture suitable for fabrics, retaining raised patterns after heat press
- Long-lasting without fading or deformation
This unique formulation is the key to a reliable and reproducible UV 3D label solution.
UV Label Film Options
Hanrun Paper provides a full range of label film choices:
- Label Film: Standard white base films in 0.4 mm and 0.6 mm thicknesses
- Label Film Gold/Silver: Metallic base films in gold and silver for premium effects
These films are engineered for smooth ink adhesion, high color clarity, and heat press compatibility, ensuring consistent results in production.
Advantages of UV 3D Label Printing
High Productivity: UV curing allows instant drying—no waiting—reducing downtime and increasing efficiency.
Superior Quality: Produces labels with gloss, texture, and abrasion resistance far beyond traditional methods.
Eco-Friendly: Low-VOC, low-odor inks reduce harmful emissions, creating a safer production environment.
Cost-Effective: No molds, no minimum order quantity, and less equipment investment compared to embroidery or screen printing.
