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.
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.
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.

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.

However, longevity can be affected by the wood type and treatment, as well as exposure to extreme weather conditions.
