Material Options

Silk paper strikes a balance between a glossy and matt finish, offering a unique balance. It possesses a subtle sheen that imparts a vibrant and sharp look to prints, yet it retains a softer quality compared to a gloss finish. Renowned for its versatility, this paper stock is also fully compatible with ballpoint pens, making it a popular choice for any project.

• Retains softer quality than glossy paper
• Compatible with ballpoint pens

Lamination Options

Soft-touch lamination elevates printed materials by imparting a luxurious, velvety smooth feel that enhances both the tactile and visual experience. With a matt-like finish devoid of any shine, it softens the visual elements while offering a refined touch, adding a premium element to the print. This technique enriches the sensory engagement, making it particularly appealing for products where texture and presentation are paramount.

• Enhances printed materials with a luxurious, velvety smooth feel
• Provides a matt-like finish without shine, softening visual elements
• Ideal for products where texture and sensory engagement are important
• Offers excellent protection against moisture, scratches and fading

Spot UV Options

Low and high build spot UV utilise the same technique to enhance printed materials by applying a gloss coating to specific design elements. However, the key difference lies in the texture and depth each finish provides. High build spot UV provides a more tactile experience by using a thicker varnish that creates a superior elevated feel. This additional thickness adds a physical dimension and a heightened sensory appeal to the printed material, making it visually and texturally distinct from low build spot UV.

• Enhances printed materials by applying a gloss coating to key design elements
• Recommended for highlighting logos, text, images and patterns
• Raised spot UV offers a superior elevated feel and physical dimension
