# Sun Studio

> Sun Studio LLC is a direct-to-surface printing studio in Al Quoz First, Dubai, UAE, operating since 2011. Sun Studio prints artwork directly onto glass, bottles, cans, acrylic, wood, metal, ceramic, stone, leather, textiles, food and finished walls using UV and other direct digital printing technologies - onto the object itself rather than onto a label, a wrap or a transfer film.

- Sun Studio prints; it does not manufacture the objects it prints on. Bottles, glassware, cans, candles, award bodies and panels are supplied by the client or their supplier.
- There is no minimum order quantity on most applications: there are no screens or plates to pay for, so a single piece runs the same process as a batch of a thousand.
- Every link below points at a Markdown rendering of a page. The canonical version of each page is the HTML at the same path.
