Custom Jigs for LogoJET UV Direct to Object Printers

LogoJET is the only UV printer manufacturer that designs and produces custom print trays in-house alongside your printer purchase. Every custom tray is engineered around your specific products — examined, measured, prototyped, and tested — so the workflow you run on day one is the workflow you can repeat consistently for months and years.

How Do Custom Trays Improve Productivity?

Repeatability is the engine of profitability and tray design is what unlocks it. At LogoJET, we've refined the custom tray design process to keep your printer producing instead of waiting on hands.

The open-bed design of our LogoJET UVx90R-SE and LogoJET UVx90i printer accepts multiple tray segments (2–3 depending on the product) that load and unload independently during printing. While one segment is being printed, your operator preps the next, so new products can be staged on one segment while others run and get swapped out.

Our tabletop UV flatbed printers, the LogoJET UVx40R PLUS-SE and LogoJET UVx45i,  include a unique glide rail system that drops trays into precise position every time.  There is no fiddling, no re-registration, no scrapped first prints when a new operator takes over.

As the only UV printer manufacturer specializing in custom trays paired with your printer purchase, we consider every factor that affects your production, which includes product shape, weight, height, finish, volume, and operator workflow, to design a tray that fits how you actually work.

How does LogoJET create custom trays?

  • Design Process

    Our print production specialists design every custom tray after examining your actual products and discussing placement, volume, and workflow. They determine the optimal number of parts per bed to maximize productivity while ensuring the tray holds up to years of production use.

    Material Selection

    We choose between aluminum,
    anodized aluminum, HDPE plastic, and specialty materials based on what your product actually needs — UV reflection control, weight, chemical resistance, or all of the above.

  • Template Testing

    Every tray is tested using LogoJET
    Print Pro RIP Software
     and saved as a template file. When the same job
    runs again in six months, your operator opens the template, drops in the parts, and hits print. No guesswork.

Tray Rail Guide System

Each LogoJET UVx40R PLUS-SE and UVx45i printer features our unique tray rail guide system, a smooth gliding, precise positioning, consistent registration, and built-in prevention against parts dislodging mid-print.

How Do Custom Trays Prevent Printing Problems?

Most "difficult" products aren't actually difficult — they're just poorly fixtured. A properly engineered tray solves the problems that derail production:

  • Clear Products: Our custom trays prevent head strikes when printing clear items by sitting flush with the tray, or by including an additional reference segment to help the auto-height sensor detect the true print surface of clear product.
  • Reflective Products: UV reflecting off shiny surfaces back at the print heads is a leading cause of premature clogs and head damage. Our trays minimize reflection and reduce airflow turbulence around the heads, extending head life. Designs in black materials — and the option of adding a top tray — help direct UV light straight down during printing.
  • Multiple Product Sizes: We design multipurpose trays to accommodate various product shapes, ensuring items lay flat at the same height for simultaneous printing. Other multipurpose designs hold several similar-sized items in shared slots to maximize bed utilization across a variety of products.
  • Securing Products: We design unique hold-down trays to secure inconsistent or irregular products during printing — so parts don't roll, lift, or shift, even at high speeds.
