UV Printing on Glass and Acrylic in Luxembourg — Vitralux's Own Machine
Vitralux has its own UV printing machine in Howald. The technology prints directly onto glass, acrylic and any hard substrate: corporate signage, photographs, logos, trophies. Every project up to 45×65 cm is made entirely in house, with no subcontracting.
A permanent print, straight onto the substrate
The technology prints directly onto glass, acrylic and any hard substrate: corporate signage, photographs, logos, trophies. UV printing uses specific inks that are cured instantly by ultraviolet light, right on the surface being printed.
The result is permanent, and it resists scratching, water and UV. Adhesion is perfect on glass, acrylic, timber, metal and any non-porous substrate.

Printed glass signage in Luxembourg — compliant with the standards, fitted by Vitralux
Panels, plaques, numbering, corporate lettering — supplied and fitted in Luxembourg.
A fine material that lifts the brand
Glass signage is now the natural choice for companies, institutions and public buildings that want function, elegance and durability in one. UV printing on glass gives you flawless graphic quality: strong colours, crisp lines, photographic reproduction and logos rendered with a precision no vinyl or conventional screen print can match.
Glass is more than a print substrate: it is a fine material, long-lasting and easy to look after. Unlike plastic panels or vinyl graphics, a printed glass panel does not yellow, peel or warp over time. This work is carried out by our dedicated division Vitralétique, specialists in glass signage.
Door plates and numbering
Office numbers, department names, bell plates: in toughened or low-iron glass with the text and logo UV-printed. A smooth finish, rounded corners on request, fixed with stainless steel screws or bonded directly.
Wayfinding signs
Guidance systems in entrance halls, corridors and car parks: arrows, circulation plans, room names. High-definition UV printing on 6 or 8 mm glass.
Reception and welcome panels
The name of the company or institution at large scale on a clear, frosted or lacquered background: an architectural element in its own right that lifts a reception area immediately.
Statutory and regulatory notices
Evacuation panels, legal notices, the notices public buildings are required to display: printed on glass they look far better presented than standard plastic supports, while still meeting the standards in force.
External glass signage
Signs and external panels in toughened glass: resistant to the weather, to impact and to UV. External UV printing is given a specific treatment so that the colours last in direct sunlight.
Partitions and printed glazing
A logo or a visual identity printed straight onto glass partitions, glass doors or screens: signage becomes part of the architecture, and invisible from the other side if you want it to be.
Table plans & room numbering
Glass table numbers for restaurants and hotels, room plans for events: a refined touch that sets the best establishments apart.

Why choose glass for your signage
The signage market is dominated by cheap materials — foamed PVC, vinyl graphics, Dibond — that age badly: the vinyl peels, the PVC yellows, the finishes degrade. In a quality professional space, glass signage carries a presence and a permanence nothing else can match.
| Criterion | Glass signage (Vitralux) | Standard supports (PVC, vinyl) |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | Permanent — no degradation over time | Yellows, peels, warps |
| Visual result | Premium, professional, elegant | Variable, often matt and dull |
| Upkeep | Ordinary cleaning, no special care | Sensitive to chemicals |
| Resistance | Toughened glass — stands up to impact | Sensitive to impact and heat |
| Brand image | Lifts the space considerably | Neutral, or damaging over time |
| Compliance | Certified glass to suit the use (public buildings, high-rise) | Varies from product to product |
