Artwork for your badge workflow

UV TPU Badge Artwork & Digitalisation Service

£10.00

+vat

Turn your logo into print-ready artwork for UV TPU badges. We prepare the colour, white, varnish and contour-cut elements your design needs, then send a realistic 3D proof for approval. Choose Silicone 3D, StitchFX or Gloss+ and tell us which printer, RIP and file format you use. This is an artwork-only service; finished badges are ordered separately.

Artwork for your badge workflow

Prepare your logo for UV TPU badge production

Turn an existing logo or design into artwork for your UV TPU production setup. Start with the finished badge size, selected finish and equipment requirements so the artwork can be prepared around your job.

  • Artwork-only service
  • Three existing finish choices
  • Production requirements matter

What the service prepares

Artwork built around your production brief

This service prepares a digital design for producing badges on your own equipment. The exact layers and file requirements depend on the agreed workflow.

Artwork preparation

The supplied logo or image is checked for suitability. Very small details or unclear artwork may need discussion before the production file is prepared.

Print and cut elements

Colour artwork, white and varnish/finish elements, with a contour-cut path where your setup needs it. Specify the names and separation rules your RIP requires.

A workflow-specific file

Tell us your printer, RIP software and required file format before ordering. Confirm the final deliverable for that setup.

Before you upload

Send the details that shape the badge

Supply your best available artwork and a clear production brief. A vector original is useful; a clear PNG or JPG may also be suitable after review.

  • Finished badge width and height in millimetres, plus the intended outline or shape.
  • Your selected TPU finish and the TPU material or colour you plan to use.
  • Printer model, RIP software, required file format, spot names and cut-path rules.
  • Colour references and any lettering, fine lines or details that must be retained.
  • Your intended use and required date, so any design or timing questions can be raised early.

The details that matter

Choose your finish in the existing selector

These are the three finish names available on this product. Add a reference for the look you want and confirm which details can be achieved with your artwork and production setup.

TPU Gloss+

Tell us which areas you want to emphasise and supply a reference for the desired finish.

TPU Silicone 3D

Share the intended raised appearance and identify the parts of the design that matter most.

TPU StitchFX

Point out the areas where you want the stitch-inspired appearance. This is a printed badge effect.

Finish names do not specify layer counts, printed height or exact material behaviour. Confirm those details for your printer, RIP and TPU material.

Your next steps

From logo to production brief

  1. Supply the artwork

    Use the existing upload/order area and include the design, badge dimensions and selected finish.

  2. Agree the production requirements

    Confirm the required layers, spot names, cut path, output format and review arrangements for your job.

  3. Check before a production run

    Review the prepared artwork against the agreed brief. Test it on your actual equipment and material before a full run.

A few useful answers

Before you order

Does this order include finished badges?

It is an artwork-only service. Use the separate Custom UV TPU Badges product if you want badges supplied ready for heat application.

Can I send a JPG or PNG?

A clear JPG or PNG may be usable. Send the best original you have and identify small text or fine detail that needs to be retained.

Is the file compatible with every UV TPU printer?

The file needs to match the agreed production workflow. Provide your printer, RIP, spot names and cut-path requirements so these can be checked before ordering.

What should I confirm about proofs and finish?

Confirm the review format and the intended finish for your job. A visual reference does not establish the exact physical result on every printer and material.

How long will the artwork take?

Share your required date and ask the team to confirm timing for your design and production requirements before relying on a deadline.

What happens if I need a change?

Read the existing Revisions & Refund Policy tab before ordering. Include all required details in the original brief and clarify how changes to size, finish or production setup will be handled.

Description

Print-ready artwork for UV TPU badges

Already have a logo but need it prepared for UV TPU badge production? Send us your artwork and we will build the print layers around your chosen badge style. You receive a 3D proof to review before the final production file is prepared. This service is for businesses making badges on their own UV TPU equipment; it does not include printed badges.

What the artwork service includes

  • Artwork review and preparation: we check the supplied logo or image and advise if additional redraw work is needed.
  • Production layers: CMYK artwork, Spot_1 white, Spot_2 varnish or finish effects, and a contour cut path where required by your setup.
  • A 3D visual proof: review the proposed shape, colour, raised details and finish before approval.
  • A final file for your workflow: tell us your printer, RIP software, spot names, cut-path requirements and preferred format so the file can be prepared for your equipment.

Exact layers and effects vary by design, TPU material and production setup. A 3D proof is a visual guide; the physical finish depends on printing and application settings.

Choose the finish for your design

  • TPU Silicone 3D: a soft-looking, raised silicone-style effect created with printed layers.
  • TPU StitchFX: an embroidery-inspired texture with visible, deliberate stitch detail. It is a printed effect, not sewn thread.
  • TPU Gloss+: selective gloss and raised highlights for borders, lettering or other details.

How to order your badge artwork

  1. Upload your logo, sketch or existing design. Vector artwork is ideal, but a clear PNG or JPG may also be usable.
  2. Tell us the finished badge size, preferred shape, TPU colour, finish and how you intend to produce it.
  3. We assess the design, prepare the layers and send a 3D proof.
  4. Request changes if needed, then approve the final design for file preparation.

Very small text, intricate shapes or low-resolution screenshots may need simplification or extra redraw work. We will flag that before finalising the file.

Frequently asked questions

Can you work from a JPG or screenshot?

Often, yes. Send the best-quality version you have. We will check whether it can be cleaned up or whether a redraw is needed for a clear badge at the size you want.

Will the file work with my UV TPU printer?

Tell us your printer, RIP, required spot names and cut-path rules before ordering. We will prepare the deliverable for the agreed workflow; you should run a test print before a full production run.

Do you supply finished badges as well?

Yes. If you would rather receive badges ready to heat apply, see our custom UV TPU badge production service.
