JIGS – Fixtures for Precise UV Prints
JIGS hold your item to be printed in an exact fit and thus enable a precise, repeatable print result with every pass. This lets you avoid positioning errors and unnecessary material waste in your UV production. Whether a single piece or a larger series – with the right fixture you reliably cover your individual production needs.
With JIGS, the right holder shape for your specific item is what counts, in order to achieve an exact and reproducible result. In the JIGS category, Print Equipment offers you matching fixtures for our combination devices for laser engraving and UV printing. In the JIGS category you'll find the right holder for your workflow.
What defines JIGS?
JIGS are fixtures with prefabricated recesses that hold your item exactly in position. A suitable holder shape is decisive for precise, repeatable placement without positioning errors.
The typical use of JIGS is clearly structured:
- The item to be printed is placed in an exact fit into the prefabricated recess of the fixture
- Integrated centering aids ensure exact, reproducible positioning
- The fixture is secured in the print table of the combination device
- The fixed item is then printed or engraved precisely
JIGS thus ideally complement our UV accessories and are a sensible addition to our UV direct printing systems.
Why JIGS are indispensable
JIGS play an important role for a precise, reproducible print result. Only with an exact-fit holder can positioning errors and unnecessary material waste be reliably prevented.
The most important advantages include:
- Precise positioning: Integrated centering aids for an exact print result
- Reduced material waste: Exact-fit recesses minimize misplacement
- Shape-specific holders: Matched to different item shapes. Your individual item is decisive for the choice.
- Robust construction: Suitable for permanent use in daily production
- Ideal for professional daily production: Popular with businesses with recurring item shapes
This makes JIGS indispensable both for precise one-off production and for efficient series production.
Which holders are there?
In the JIGS category, both fixtures with multiple holders and fixtures for single pieces and small series are available to you.
Fixtures with multiple holders
Our multi-holders have up to eight recesses depending on the version, enabling the simultaneous printing or engraving of several identical items in a single pass.
Typical characteristics are:
- Shape-specific recesses, including for bottle, wreath and key ring shapes
- Integrated centering aids for precise placement of each individual piece
- Suitable for our combination devices xTool F1 Ultra and F2 Ultra
This makes our multi-holders ideal for efficient series production of identical items.
Fixtures for single pieces and small series
Our single-piece and small-series holders have one or two recesses for particularly precise positioning of individual items.
They are particularly suitable for:
- Individual single pieces with higher precision requirements
- Smaller runs where a large multi-holder isn't worthwhile
- The same use on our combination devices xTool F1 Ultra and F2 Ultra
With our single-piece and small-series holders you thus find the matching addition for custom-made items.

What to look out for when buying JIGS
If you want to buy JIGS for your UV production, you should consider various factors in order to find the right solution for your needs.
Important criteria are:
- Item shape: Choose the holder to match the shape of your specific item
- Device compatibility: Check whether the fixture fits your combination device
- Number of holders: Decide between a multi-holder and a single holder depending on the run size
- Centering aids: Look for integrated positioning aids for a precise result
- Production volume: Consider whether a multi-holder is worthwhile for your order volume
The right selection ensures that you work precisely and efficiently in your UV production.
JIGS for different applications
Depending on run size and item shape, the demands on your JIGS vary considerably. While multi-holders are particularly suited to efficient series production of identical items, single-piece and small-series holders provide particularly precise positioning for individual custom orders.
The choice of the right fixture therefore depends strongly on how large your planned run is and what shape your item has. For a consistently efficient production flow, many businesses rely on a combination of multi-holders and single holders in order to be able to react flexibly to different order sizes.
