Released on:2019-09-26 Updated on:2019-09-26
We offers many kinds of coating to protect the printed paper and packaging with the printing services .
Aqueous Coating: A clear, fast-drying water-based coating that is used to protect printed pieces. It provides a high-gloss or matte surface that deters dirt and fingerprints. And its protective properties lie somewhere above varnish and below UV coatings.
Film Lamination: Bonding a clear plastic film onto printed pieces to make it stronger and more durable. In most cases, the bonding is applied to both sides of the printed piece so that it is totally enclosed in the plastic film.so that the film lamination provides protection and decorative properties and is used on many different types of printed items. Film lamination is available in either glossy Lamination, matt lamination. The glossy lamination is even more glossy than UV Coating. While the Matte lamination provides a dull, satin finish.
UV Coating: or ultraviolet coating, is a very glossy, shiny liquid coating applied to a printed paper surface and cured on a printing press or special machine using ultraviolet light. UV coating is a very high quality finish and it is preferred for high end magazines, catalogs and books.
Varnish: is a liquid finish applied via the printing press to seal in and protect the ink on the printed surface. It is available in gloss, matte, and UV. Varnish is a relatively inexpensive procedure which, when dry trapped to gloss coated paper can provide a rich lustre to a print work, but has neither the protective qualities nor the shine of coatings like UV and Lamination.
Spot UV: Refers to the application of this UV Coating to a specific area or many areas of a printed piece rather than coating the entire surface. Used primarily as a design technique, Spot UV is a creative way to add depth and contrast through varying levels of sheen and texture.
Spot Varnish: Refers to put varnish only on a specific area or many areas of a printed piece. Use spot varnish to make a photograph pop off the printed page, highlight drop caps, or to create texture or subtle images on the page. And it does not create the high contrast effect from Spot UV.Therefore it is more economical than spot UV.
