Hard-Good Branding
UV-printed branding components designed to be integrated into rigid manufactured goods such as drinkware, journals, and assembled hardware.
Definition
Hard-good branding refers to UV-printed components produced for integration into rigid manufactured goods. These include label inlays for tumblers, branded panels for journals, dimensional badges for assembled hardware, and printed insets for leather and acrylic products. The UV cure system delivers a chemically resistant, wash-durable, dimensionally stable print on a hard substrate. Hard-good branding components are sold per square inch and are typically formatted to be glued, friction-fit, or heat-bonded into the final product during assembly. Common in promotional product workflows and boutique consumer goods.
