Printing On Wood

What Clients Say About Us

Be Creative With Wood Printing

At More Juice we value the unique interplay between modern innovation and traditional artistry. One such expression of this is our capability to print directly onto wood. This method of printing combines cutting-edge technology with the timeless appeal of natural materials, adding an extra layer of depth and complexity to any design or artwork.

The creative benefits of printing on wood are immense. The texture and grain inherent in each piece of wood lend an organic charm to the design or artwork, creating an authentic, tactile experience that can't be replicated with conventional print mediums. As each wood piece has its unique grain pattern, the resulting print becomes a one-of-a-kind design and artistic expression.

The process of printing on wood invites designers to think outside of conventional boundaries, fostering originality and ingenuity. Wood as a canvas not only adds an element of natural beauty to the designs or artwork but also infuses a sense of warmth and craftsmanship that is captivating to the viewer.

Sustainable and robust, wood prints are a testament to More Juice's commitment to eco-friendly practices and innovation. Whether used for marketing materials, display boards, or bespoke art pieces, wood prints are a testament to the endless creative potential in the world of printing.

We offer printing on a broad range of wood types, including birch ply, marine ply, chip wood, OSB and MDF, catering to sizes up to 1250mm x 2500mm. Even more, you have the option to supply us with your own choice of wood, which we can test for print suitability. This fusion of art, design and technology, accompanied by the natural elegance of wood, offers a truly unique platform for expressing your brand and ideas in a way that's bound to make a memorable impression. Embrace the creative possibilities with More Juice's wood printing service, and contact us now to discuss your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Wood printing, simply put, is the technique of applying artwork, graphics, or photographs directly onto a wooden surface. The unique grain of the wood becomes part of the design, enhancing its character and providing a distinctive aesthetic.

  • Advanced technology like flatbed UV printers are typically used for printing on wood. These printers can transfer intricate designs directly onto the wood surface, using special UV inks that dry almost instantly when exposed to UV light, thereby ensuring crisp, vibrant images that resist fading.

  • We can print on a variety of wood types including birch ply, marine ply, chip wood, OSB and MDF. We can also test any wood you provide us to check if it is suitable for printing.

  • Several types of wood can be used, including birch ply, marine ply, chip wood, OSB, and MDF. The choice of wood often depends on the desired end effect. For instance, birch ply has a fine grain that's great for detailed prints, while OSB or chip wood offer a more textured, industrial look.

  • Yes, the prints are highly durable and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The longevity of the print depends on the conditions it is exposed to, but typically, indoor prints can last many years without fading. With modern UV printing techniques, images printed on wood are remarkably durable. The UV inks resist fading, even in sunlight, and can withstand the rigours of both indoor and outdoor use. However, longevity can be affected by the wood type and treatment, as well as exposure to extreme weather conditions.

  • The environmental impact depends on the type of wood used. We encourage using sustainably sourced wood or recycled wood for eco-friendliness. Also, the inks we use are eco-solvent, making them safer for the environment.

  • Yes, one of the benefits of printing on wood is that the texture of the wood is maintained. This creates a tactile and visually interesting piece where the grain of the wood interacts with the design.

  • Yes, we can print on treated or painted wood, but the surface needs to be flat and smooth for the best results. The printing on such surfaces may appear different, as the underlying colour or treatment may interact with the ink. We recommend testing a small area first to ensure the desired outcome.

  • Yes, printed wood can be used outdoors. However, it's best to use a type of wood that's weather-resistant or has been treated for outdoor use. The UV inks used in the printing process are also weather-resistant, so your artwork should stand up to the elements.
