LANQI UV Printer – Four Processes for Glass Stickers

With the upgrading of the decoration and advertising industries, UV printed glass stickers have become the mainstream solution for glass partitions, doors, windows and shop window decorations, thanks to their high-definition image quality, strong adhesion, durability and eco-friendliness. Leveraging the customisable functions of UV printers, glass stickers are produced via four core processes: Color-White-Color, 3D Embossed Relief, Single Color and Frosted Hollow-out, to satisfy aesthetic and practical demands across diverse application scenarios.

1. Color-White-Color Process

The most widely used standard process for glass stickers, adopting a three-layer printing structure of color ink – white ink – color ink. It delivers consistent, crystal-clear colours on both front and reverse sides of the print, perfectly eliminating the washed-out, dull colour issue common to ordinary printing when light passes through. Featuring delicate, vibrant imagery, the film transmits light while blocking direct sight, balancing decorative appeal and privacy. Ideal for most general applications including office glass partitions, retail shop windows and residential balcony glass.

2. 3D Embossed Relief Process

Designed for premium textured finishes. Multiple layers of UV white ink are stacked to create raised, tactile patterns, sealed with a glossy UV topcoat for rich light and shadow layering. The textured embossed surface is scratch and wear resistant, eliminating the flat, plain look of conventional stickers to deliver a sophisticated light-luxury finish. Perfect for applications requiring three-dimensional effects: artistic glass decor, entrance hall glass, high-end retail store fittings and custom feature glass walls.

3. Single Color Process

A minimalist, versatile solid-colour specialty process. Thick layers of solid single-tone UV ink deliver pure, uniform hues with exceptional coverage to prevent background show-through. Prints boast high colour saturation with sharp, clean edges, available in matte or glossy premium solid finishes with smooth, fine surfaces and outstanding cost performance. Suited for minimalist solid-colour glass decor, corporate solid-tone partitions, single-colour retail backdrops and simple light-blocking residential glass designs.

4. Frosted Hollow-out Process

A practical dual-function process balancing light transmission and privacy. Uniform frosted texture is printed via UV technology, with precise hollow cut-outs for patterns, text and line art. The semi-opaque finish softens incoming light without blocking illumination, while obscuring direct views — overcoming the rigid, monotonous look of standard frosted glass. Minimalist and universally adaptable for office tower work zones, bathroom glass, hotel partitions and minimalist residential glass decor.

Each of the four processes boasts unique strengths, catering to basic mass-market demands, premium textured upgrades, minimalist solid-colour aesthetics and privacy shielding respectively. They represent the dominant custom printing solutions for UV glass stickers on the current market.
