Corporate Gift Printing in Dubai
Sun Studio prints corporate gifts that you or your gift supplier provide, at our studio in Al Quoz, Dubai, for companies across the UAE: Arabic coffee (gahwa) cups, bottles and tumblers, candles, notebooks and leather goods, boxes and awards. There is no minimum order, and every piece can carry a different name. We are a printing studio, not a gift catalogue: most clients and gifting companies send their own items. The branding goes onto the item itself in full colour, rather than onto a sticker or an engraved plate.
Most of this work is deadline-driven: Ramadan and Eid gifting, National Day, conferences and exhibitions, client gifts and staff recognition, and event favours where every piece carries a different name.
What we can print
Gifting is defined by the occasion rather than the material, so a single order often spans several materials. If you are still choosing what to give, start with our overview of corporate gifting in the UAE.
What clients send us to print:
- Gahwa cups and saucers: the Gulf gifting staple, printed in full colour. See our guide to custom gahwa cups.
- Bottles, tumblers and drinkware: glass, stainless and aluminium. Our guide to custom water bottles, tumblers and flasks has the detail.
- Notebooks and leather goods: covers, folders and diaries.
- Candles and home fragrance: branded or personalised vessels, covered on our candle and jar printing page.
- Glassware and desk pieces: paperweights and display items. Trophies and plaques have their own page: crystal and awards printing.
- Boxes and packaging: so the gift and its box match. Plain boxes you already have can be printed on their own as well: see custom box printing in Dubai.
- Mixed sets: several different items branded consistently as one gift.
- Edible gifts: chocolate, macarons and cookies are a separate service on dedicated food printers. See food printing in Dubai.
Printing capabilities
The two things gifting needs most are full colour and the freedom to make every piece different:
- Direct UV printing Onto the item itself, in full colour.
- Personalisation A different name on every piece at no extra setup, because there is no screen or plate.
- 360° printing A full wrap with no seam on cups, bottles and tumblers.
- White ink So brand colours hold on clear, dark or metallic items.
- Arabic calligraphy and fine detail Printed at the resolution it deserves.
- Raised and textured effects A logo that can be felt, which reads as considered on a gift.
- Short runs and mixed sets Fifty of one thing, or five of ten things.
Direct printing or engraving and stickers
Corporate gifts are usually branded one of three ways, and the choice shows in the hand.
Engraving and etching
Laser engraving removes material to leave a mark. It is durable and it suits a single-colour logo on metal or wood.
The limit is colour: an engraved mark is the colour of the material underneath, so a brand with a specific colour, a gradient or more than one ink is out of reach.
Direct UV printing
Ink is laid onto the item in full colour and cured. Brand colours are reproduced as colours, gradients and photographs are possible, and Arabic calligraphy prints exactly as drawn.
Because there is no screen or plate, changing the artwork between pieces adds no setup cost, which is what makes name-by-name personalisation practical on a run of two hundred. Applied stickers do colour too, but a sticker is the thing a recipient peels off.
Who this is for
Gifting work comes from:
- Corporate marketing and HR teams: client gifts, staff recognition and onboarding sets.
- Gifting and promotional companies: who source the items and use us for the branding.
- Event and conference organisers: delegate gifts and speaker pieces.
- Banks, developers and government entities: Ramadan, Eid and National Day gifting.
- Hotels and hospitality: guest and VIP gifts.
- Wedding planners: favours personalised for every guest.
What to send before we can quote
Gifting is scheduling as much as printing, so lead with the date:
- The deadline: the date the gifts have to be in hand, not the date they leave us.
- The items: what they are, who is supplying them and when they will reach us.
- Quantity, and whether pieces are identical or personalised.
- Photos or samples of the items.
- Artwork: logo as vector, plus any Arabic wording.
- The name list if pieces are personalised, in the exact spelling required.
- Whether boxes or packaging are part of the job.
- Where they are being delivered.
Not sure which file to send? Our artwork preparation guide covers file formats, vector conversion and what each surface needs.
How it works
The deadline, the items, the quantity and the artwork.
We confirm what each item needs, whether anything requires testing, and whether the date is realistic.
One piece of each item is printed and approved before the run.
The order is printed, checked, packed and ready for the date.
Gifting we have printed
Sun Studio work, printed direct onto the item in Al Quoz.
Technical considerations
A gifting order is rarely one material. A single set might contain a glass cup, a stainless bottle, a leather notebook and a coated box: four different adhesion problems arriving as one job with one deadline.
What that means in practice:
Every material is its own job
Sample every item type
Low-energy plastics
Coatings
Use in the hand
Personalisation accuracy
Lead time

Direct Color Systems UV84: the flatbed for flat gift items, boxes and plates. See the full printer fleet.
Sun Studio belongs to the same Dubai group as PRO TECHnology, which distributes LSINC and Direct Color Systems equipment in the Middle East, so read our view of the machines with that in mind.
