What It Is
Buy a desktop UV printer (prints on glass, wood, metal, plastic, packaging, and more, with UV-cured ink that resists fading) and offer personalization/printing runs to a wide range of small businesses: personalized bottle openers for a brewery, wooden award plaques for a company, printed cosmetics boxes, engraved puzzles — each production run can be a different client's order.
The Pitch
The presenter frames the value as: a basic wholesale phone case is cheap, but the same case personalized with a name or photo sells for several times more because it's now unique and incomparable to a generic product — and the same machine and logic applies across many other hard-surface products.
Who It’s Best For
Someone comfortable marketing a personalization/printing service to multiple different small business types rather than specializing in one product.
The Truth (as we see it)
UV printing on hard surfaces is a real, established small-manufacturing capability, and the personalization value-premium described is standard, sound pricing logic. No specific revenue figures given.
