Small Format UV Printers
The Most Popular UV Flatbed Size for UK Businesses
Small format UV printers are the most widely adopted choice for UK businesses entering or expanding into direct-to-object printing.
Defined by their bed size – typically around 600 × 900 mm – they offer professional-grade output with a smaller footprint and lower investment cost than larger wide format industrial systems.
Whether you’re printing signage, retail items, packaging prototypes or personalised merchandise, a small format UV printer delivers the perfect balance of size, performance and application versatility.
Both of these printers are top tier performers – allowing you to produce a wide variety of finished goods including:
- Durable signage
- Promotional Products
- Custom or Prototype Packaging
- Textured Prints
But they do also both have unique features that make one, or the other, the best fit for YOUR business. Watch the video here and explore the data below for help understanding the differences and making the best decision for you.
