We are an industrial-grade UV printing and laser engraving studio for people who refuse to settle for vinyl stickers and Etsy-grade engravings. Custom golf balls, YETI tumblers, license plate frames, backlit address signs, corporate merch, real-estate closing gifts — if it has a surface, we can mark it for life.
Most "custom" shops own one machine and outsource the rest. We don't. Every step happens here, by hand, with industrial gear normally reserved for ad agencies and OEM brands.
Full-color, photographic-quality printing cured by UV light. The ink bonds molecularly to the surface — no peeling, no fading, no vinyl edges curling in the sun.
CO₂ and fiber laser engraving for the cuts UV can't do — buttery deep marks in stainless, hardwood, leather and anodized metal that read for a hundred years.
Where it all started. Archival pigment prints from your iPhone roll, drone footage or wedding gallery — printed to last a generation, not a feed scroll.
Every job — whether it's one tumbler or a thousand-ball tournament order — runs the same disciplined pipeline. No surprises. No "we'll see how it comes out."
Send art, vibes, or a napkin sketch. We respond within 24 hours with a fixed quote, lead time, and substrate recommendation.
You get a digital proof — color profile, sizing, surface mock-up. Approve, tweak, or rebuild. Nothing goes on a substrate without your sign-off.
UV-cured under industrial lamps or carved with a 60-watt laser. Operator on every pass — no auto-feed, no walk-aways. Quality eyes the entire run.
Boxed with care, photographed for your records, delivered locally or shipped. Tournament orders arrive sorted by foursome. Closing gifts arrive ribboned.
Vinyl is a sticker glued to a surface. UV ink is fused into it. Park them both in an Orange County summer for 18 months and the difference becomes loud.
The MO-240 is the same UV flatbed used by global ad agencies and brand-house OEMs. It's why the artwork on a YETI from us doesn't peel after a single dishwasher cycle, and why your Shelby decal on carbon fiber stays Shelby blue at 110°F.
12 years in commercial print means we already speak your industry's vocabulary — turnaround, tolerances, MOQ and all.
"Tommy printed 240 custom golf balls in foursome packaging for our member-guest in 9 days flat. They looked sharper than the sponsor's swag and were the talk of the tee box."
"I send every closing gift through Print the Chicken now. Engraved YETI, custom plate frame, and the address sign for the new house — it's become my whole listing-end ritual."
"We tried three vinyl shops for our martial arts plate frames. They peeled inside a year. Print the Chicken's UV print is on year three and still looks brand-new."
Most projects fit one of these. Custom builds get a quote in 24 hours.
For one-off gifts, single tumblers, single signs.
For 24–250 pcs — closing gifts, tournaments, weddings, corporate events.
For brand merch programs, brokerage rollouts, retail SKUs.
Whether it's one tumbler for a co-worker or 500 plate frames for a dealership rollout — we read every email personally.
